Early Double Tulips — British-grown Bulbs. 
Owing to the total prohibition of Dutch bulb imports , Double Tulips are very scarce this 
year. Purchasers should order early to be sure of a supply. 
Double Tulips have massive flowers of brilliant and beautifully diversified colours, and are very 
effective in beds on lawns, terraces, etc., also as edgings to beds of Roses and Rhododendrons and to shrub- 
beries. Planted in groups of five or more, they are very attractive. Plant the bulbs four inches deep and 
four to six inches apart. They should be put in from October to November (not earlier). 
Time of Flowering. — The numbers in brackets after the name indicate the order of flowering, and 
will assist amateurs in making their selections for bedding, thus: — (2) corresponds in time of flowering 
with (2) of the Single Tulips; (3) corresponds with (3) of the Single Tulips, and so on. The heights, 
as registered at our Nurseries, are given in inches. I!y a judicious selection of Double and Single Tulips, 
a display of brilliant colours may be maintained in the garden for a long period. 
For Pot Culture plant three bulbs in a pot, and treat as recommended on page 2.
