SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
At the time when Early Tulips bloom, there are scarcely any brilliant garden flowers open except Narcissus and 
Hyacinths and, in spite of all the beauty of Narcissus, they lack contrast mm large plantings because of their limited 
color range, The Single Early Tulips supply the brilliance which is lacking at that season. A second very desirable 
quality about the Early Tulips is that the bloom is over and the plants matured in time to permit replanting the 
beds with Summer annuals which will come into bloom early in the season.

GROW DAFFODILS AND EARLY TULIPS INDOORS 
For indoor flowering, pot the bulbs during September or October in a compost consisting of good garden loam, leafmold, and 
clean, sharp sand. Set the bulbs about a half inch below the surface. Water well, and then place in a cool cellar or bury outside in 

a bed of coal ashes. Water occasionally. When well rooted 
which will be in about three months—bring inside at intervals for 
forcing. Keep in a temperature of between 50 and 60 degrees until flower buds are well advanced, after which they should be 
given a warmer location and plenty of water and sunshine.
