Single Carly dl, ulips 
Few, if any, of the spring-blooming flowers rival the Single Early 
Tulips for brilliancy of bloom or ease of culture. They are excellent 
subjects for formal beds on the lawn or for garden borders. While 
they do not possess the same size of bloom and length of stem as the 
May-Flowering Darwin, Breeder, and Cottage varieties, they are used 
where earlier blooms are desired. Many of the varieties may be forced 
into bloom in January, while all of them may be easily had in flower 
pots late in February or early March. 
NOTE: The letters A, B, and C following the varieties indicate their 
relative earliness of bloom; but with few exceptions, most of the va- 
rieties bloom outdoors about the same time when planted in masses. 
The figures indicate the height in inches.
