HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR 



Double Early Tulips 



Including Beautiful New Varietie s. 



Remember that our Tulip Bulbs are Selected Largest Size, not "Seconds" 

 so often sent out at a lower price. 



Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and 

 varied colors, shades and markings, and being double, 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 a dozen or 

 more around the edges of shrubbery. When bedded it is 

 generally advisable to use only one variety to a bed — for 

 best effect though the following work well together: Boule 

 de Neige (white). Imperator Rubrorum (scarlet). Crown 

 of Gold (yellow). Salvator Rosa (pink). 



Double Tulip bulbs are planted 5 to 6 inches apart — the 

 minimum distance for solid mass of color — ^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 iudicaled by " A " or " B ") do splendidly when 

 g own in pots or pans of soil for winter blooming; but must be 

 forced much slower than Single Early Tulips by keeping 

 them coolor. Tnose 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 or two weeks 

 a succession of bloom may be maintained throughout the 

 -winter.. A five-inch pot will take 3 or 4 bulbs, 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 placlfd nearly touching each other in shallow boxes of 

 soil, thentreated the same as potted bulbs. 



A very satisfactory and easy way of growing tulips in the 

 house is in " Henderson's Prepared Fibre " (offered on page 

 47) with this china or glass bowls without drainage holes 

 may be used instead of pots. These may be placed anywhere 

 without danger of soiling carpet or furniture from drip. Full 

 directions are given in our Booklet " How to Grow Bulbs 

 in Henderson's Prepared Fibre " free to customers on request.
