FRENCH GROWN TULIPS

75° F. day and night under the bench for 8-10 days. Figure about 2 weeks 
in all for finishing early Tulips, 3-4 weeks for French Darwins. No direct 
sunlight at any time, please.

SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
HOLLAND GROWN 
Begin forcing in 70°-74° F. When bud is up, drop temperature 
5° F., to get sturdy plants and better colors. Good color depends on 
time. The faster we force (higher temperature) the paler the colors. Tem- 
perature should be constant, not subject to sudden changes. When flower- 
buds show color, drop temperature another 5° F. Increase of temperature 
at the later stages, is harmful. No direct sun at any time.
