Double Tulips 



11 M I1A.VE massive flowers of brilliant and varied colors, 

 I shades and markings, and being double, the flowers last 

 I much longer in b oom than single varieties, and in con- 

 ILJ-II sequence, when Singles and Doubles are planted in con- 

 junction the "time of the Tulips" is greatly prolonged. 

 Double Tulips are beautifully adapted for beds on the lawn, in 

 the garden, and for mingling in clumps of half a dozen or more 

 around the edge ot shrubbery. They are robust growers and 

 exceedingly effective. The early sorts do spendidly when 

 grown in pots for Winter-blooming, but must be forced much 

 slower than Single Early Tulips by keeping them cooler. 



Price, 3 cents each ; or trie Set of twenty-three dif- 

 ferent choice, distinct kinds of Double Early Tulips for 

 60 cents. Those preceded with a star are the best va- 

 rieties for forcing indoors.
