DOUBLE 
(Bloom in Early Spring) 
Double Early Tulips are espe- 
cially desirable in the garden be- 
cause they hold their bloom longer 
than theSingle Earlies. They bridge 
the gap between the Single Early 
andthe Late Tulips, thus extending 
the season of gorgeous beauty from 
late April until nearly June. 
The flowers of Double Tulips 
are 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- 
mealis 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.
