DOUBLE TULIPS. 



While not equal to the single in brilliancy, the double varieties 

 last much longer in bloom. The early varieties, such as Due Van 

 Thol, Murillo, Titian, Rex Rubrorum, and the Tournesols are 

 excellent for forcing. The later sorts will not bear forcing as well 

 as the early varieties, but are very effective in beds or borders. 

 The height of each in inches is prefixed.

GARDEN TULIPS. 



The following Tulips are very de- 

 sirable for outdoor planting, as they 

 come into bloom when the early sorts 

 have passed their prime, and thereby 

 prolong the show of Tulip flowers at 

 least two weeks. They are grand as 

 cut flowers, particularly Gesneriana and 

 Bouton d'Or.
