EARLY DOUBLE TULIPS. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant, diversified, and beautiful colours, and arc suitable for 
beds on the lawn, terrace, etc., also as edgings to Rose beds and shrubberies. Planted in groups of three or 
more in flower and shrubbery borders, they are very effective. 
The * indicates the best sorts for pot-culture. For sectional lines, when the Early Single Tulip is planted in 
design^, the Toumesol, No. 688, is most valuable ; it is also the best to force for early. flowering, and is extensively 
grown for Covent Garden Market. Imperator Rubrorum is the best scarlet, and Tournesol Yellow the best of 
the yellows. For indoor decoration, the Double Tulip should be planted three bulbs in a pot, and receive the 
same cultural treatment as the Hyacinth. For beds or masses, Rex Rubrorum, scarlet, is the best to associate 
with La Candeur, white , and, so arranged, the effect is unrivalled amongst Spring flowers. Plant the bulbs six 
inches apart.
