DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS 
Although not so elegant in form as the single varieties, they are an exceedingly 
useful and beautiful class of Tulips, producing a brilliant and striking effect, when 
planted in beds. The flowers are more substantial and last over a long period. 
Nearly all of them are admirably adapted for forcing and make a fine display when 
grown in pots or pans; but they should be forced slowly. 
For cultural directions see Single Early Tulips. 
WHITE 
*Schoonoord. (2). A beautiful white sport of Murillo, large and very full 
flower. Splendid forcer and magnificent bedder as shown on opposite page.

stem. Height, 12 inches. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
ROSE

the finest for beds and borders since the very double flowers are supported 
by strong stems. Height, 14 inches. $1.15 per dozen, $8 per 100. 
*Peach Blossom. (2) A sport of that old favorite Murillo which it will, no doubt, 
replace in due time, especially for forcing. A bright rose-pink deepening 
to carmine-rose as it grows older. Well shaped, large flowers of splendid 
lasting qualities. $1.15 per dozen, $8 per 100.
