DOUBLE 



(Bloom in Early Spring) 



Double Early Tulips are espe- 

 .cially desirable in the garden be- 

 cause they hold their bloom longer 

 than the Single Earlies. Theybridge 

 the gap between the Single Early 

 and the Late Tuhps, thus extending 

 the season of gorgeous beauty from 

 late April until nearly June. 



The flowers of Double Tuhps 

 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- 

 meal is usually a safer fertilizer to 

 use than manure. If manure i s 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.
