DOUBLE TULIPS 



The large, double, peony-like flowers appear about two weeks 

 after the Single Early Tulips begin to bloom, and are remarkable 

 for their beauty and lasting qualities. They make lovely borders 

 to grass walks or at the foot of low walls, having a jolly, rose-hke 

 appearance unhke other Tulips. They cannot be forced as 

 quickly as the Singles but gorgeous pans may be had in bloom 

 in February and March. Those marked with an asterisk (*) 

 are the best for forcing.
