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'g 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 5 to 6 Inches apart — and the depth should be ac- 

 cording 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 be- 

 fore 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 bring- 

 ing In a few pots at intervals of 10 days a succession of 

 bloom may be had during the winter. A five-inch pot 

 will take 3 or 4 bulbs and a six-inch pot 5 or 6 bulbs and 

 aseven-lnch 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. //
