Planting Time 



DOUBLE TULIPS 



(Bloom in Early Spring) 



Double Tulips are especially 

 desirable in the garden because 

 they hold their bloom longer than 

 the Single Earlies. They bridge the 

 gap between the Single Early and 

 the Late Tulips, thus extending the 

 season of gorgeous beauty from late 

 April until nearly June. 



The flowers of Double Tulips 

 are much larger than those of 

 Single Earlies and look much like 

 peonies. They are more open and 

 broader than the cup-shaped Single 

 types. When planted in a mass of 

 one color, they are especially effec- 

 tive, making a solid sheet of bloom 

 that often hides the leaves. 



Double Tulips need soil that 

 is somewhat richer than that for 

 the Single Earlies in order to per- 

 fect their huge blossoms. Bone- 

 meal is usually a safer fertilizer to 

 use than manure. If manureis used, 

 it should be thoroughly rotted and 

 carefully mixed with the soil some 

 months before the bulbs are 

 planted. 



The earliest of the Double 

 Tulips succeed fairly well in pots.
