EARLY DOUBLE TULIPS. 
The leading features in these are their massive flowers, brilliant, diversified, and beautiful colours, which 
admirably adapt them for beds on the lawn, terrace, or flower garden, and for edgings to Rhododendrons, 
Azaleas, and Roses ; also for planting in the flower and shrubbery borders in groups of three or more. 
The * indicates the varieties which may be grown in pots ; amongst these, Tournesol, No. 656, is invaluable 
for making the sectional lines when the Early Single Tulip is planted in designs. For forcing, the Tournesol 
is most valuable, and in the early Spring months it is one of the leading Tulips brought into Covent Garden 
Market. Imperator Rubrorum is the best scarlet, and Tournesol Yellow is the best yellow, for pot culture. 
Most of the others are very effective in pots, but it is not desirable to force them, except very gently. In pots, 
the Tulip requires the same cultural treatment as the Hyacinth. For beds or masses, Rex Rubrorum is the most 
effective scarlet, and La Candeur the most beautiful white. Indeed, these two Tulips stand unrivalled amongst 
Spring flowering plants. 
$ 35 - We think it only right to state that our mixed double Tulips do not contain any of those no?idescript 
colours which too frequently form part of the double Tulips sold in mixture.

SINENSIS HORTENSIS. 
The showiest of all Tulips, having large flowers of the richest and most intense scarlet early in May. It 
grows taller than the ordinary Tulip ; this combined with its dazzling colour and large flowers makes it valuable 
for distant effect, or for planting in isolated beds, or in lines, ribbons, or groups in front of shrubs.
