TULIPS 
Tulips, the unbeatables of Spring Flowering Bulbs! Single 
Earlies, Double Earlies, Double Lates and Parrots, all differ some- 
what from the regular late Tulips, which resemble each other and 
bloom all at the same time or only a few days apart. 
Our bulbs are grown by one of the very best producers in Hol- 
land, and every year we receive many compliments on the quality 
of our bulbs. 
In addition to First Size (11-12 cm.) bulbs for outdoor use, 
we offer Top Size (12 cm. and larger) for indoor forcing of cer- 
tain varieties. Orders for the larger bulbs for forcing must be placed 
in advance of shipping time, say before August Ist, as we will 
not carry a surplus stock of them for late orders. Where an asterisk 
(*) appears before the name, the variety is suitable for forcing. 
Tulips should be planted outdoors 5 to 6 inches deep, and about 
6 inches apart. Avoid areas where Tulips have been grown during 
the previous two years, and do not use fresh manure. 
Indoors, bulbs may be transferred to pots after two or three 
months in outdoor beds, when well rooted. Keep in a cool room 
before bringing them into ordinary house temperature. 
SINGLE EARLY 
These bloom about a week before the regular varieties and last 
until the others are in bloom. The flowers are bright colored, on 
stems up to 15 inches tall, which means that they are a little 
shorter than the so-called late Tulips. 
DOUBLE EARLY 
These are regaining their former popularity, as the flowers, 
which ate double and somewhat resemble Peonies, are most at- 
tractive. They bloom just ahead of the Darwins, Triumphs, etc., 
on stems about a foot tall and will make an interesting addition 
to any rock garden, besides looking equally fine in beds. 
DOUBLE LATE 
These resemble Double Earlies, except that they bloom with the 
later Tulips. No planting is complete without some Doubles. 
PARROTS / 
These are sometimes called Orchid Tulips. They have brilliantly 
colored, irregularly shaped flowers which are fringed, deeply cut, 
and frequently splotched with green. The newer varieties have 
good stems. Fantasy has been a popular Parrot for years. 
MUSCARI 
These are excellent for rock gardens and hardy borders. Plant 
the bulbs 2 to 3 inches deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Rule of Thumb for Planting Bulbs 
When in doubt as to how deep to plant bulbs, use the 
old “Rule-of-Thumb” and plant them “three times their 
thickness.” Thus, a bulb that measures an inch from top to 
bottom should be covered with 3 inches of soil. 

SCILLA 
Plant the bulbs 2 to 3 inches deep and about 3 inches apart. 
Scillas are fine for naturalizing in masses, in borders, or in fr 
gardens. Campanulatas are about 15 inches tall, Sibirica about 
4 inches. 
GALANTHUS 
(SNOW DROPS) 
These will thrive under hedges and in borders, whete they 
should be left to naturalize themselves. Plant them about 3 inches 
deep. They bloom very early. 
CHIONODOXA 
These bloom about the same time as Crocuses, are very hardy, 
and increase rapidly. Plant them about 3 inches deep and 3 inches 
apart, in masses for best effect.
