HENDERSON'S 



Superior Double 

 Early Tulips. 



Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and. 

 varied colors, shades and markings, and being dou- 

 ble, the flowers last much longer in bloom than single 

 varieties, and. in consequence, when singles and 

 doubles are planted in conjunction, 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 edges of shrubbery. The early 

 sorts (those indicated by an "1 " or " 2 ") do splen- 

 didly when grown in pots for winter blooming; but 

 must be forced much slower than Single Early Tulips 

 by keeping them cooler. 



The figures following the varieties indicate their 

 earliness; those marked " 1 " flower together and 

 are the earliest; those marked " 2 " follow, etc. The 

 height is indicated by " D " for dwarf; " M " for 

 medium, and " T " for tall. 



■ Remember that our Tulip Bulbs are selected 

 largest size, not " seconds " so often sent out at a 

 lower price.
