Henderson's Superior 



DOUBLE EARLY 

 TULIPS 



The letters A. B. C, etc., following the varieties 

 indicate their earllness of bloom, the A's flower 

 together and are the earliest, B'S follow before the 

 A's are out of bloom, etc. The height Is In- 

 dicated In inches to aid in arranging flower beds. 

 When bedded it is generally advisable to use only one 

 variety to a bed for best effect. The bulbs are planted 

 S to 6 inches apart — and the depth should be according 

 to the soil, in heavy soils 3 to 4 inches to the base of the 

 bulbs and in light soils an inch or so deeper. The early 

 sorts (those indicated by "A" or "B") do splendidly 

 when grown in pots of soil for winter blooming; but 

 must be forced more slowly than Single Early Tulips 

 by keeping them cooler. Those marked "A" should 

 not be forced into bloom before the middle of January, 

 the "B's" before February and the "C's" before March. 

 The bulbs are potted in the autumn and plunged in the 

 open ground, cold frame or placed in a cool airy cellar, 

 until rooted. By bringing in a few pots at Intervals 

 of 10 days a succession of bloom may be had during the 

 winter. A flve-inch pot will take 3 or 4 bulbs and a 

 six-inch pot 5 or 6 bulbs and a seven-inch pot or pan 

 will take 7 or 8 bulbs. When "forced" in quantity for 

 cut flowers the bulbs are placed nearly touching each 

 other in shallow boxes of soil. // wanted by Parcel
