Double Early Tulips 
Golden Giant 
The large, full, Peony-like flowers of the Double Early 
Tulips will make a most colorful display in formal beds or 
garden borders several weeks before the Darwin, Breeder 
and Cottage types come into bloom. They make a com¬ 
pact, stocky growth 10 to 12 in. high. Groups or scat¬ 
tered plantings here and there among perennials are 
always showy. The Double Early Tulips also do well 
planted in pots or pans for indoor winter blooming. 
General Cultural Directions for 
all Tulips 
except Botanical (Species). Tulips should 
not be grown in soil in which they had been 
grown the last two seasons. Select a new 
location. Do not use fresh manure at plant¬ 
ing time; well-rotted manure or bone meal may be 
used. Plant bulbs 5 to 6 in. deep and 6 in. apart. 
Indoors: A mixture of % good, clean garden soil and 
y$ leaf mold to which a little bone meal has been added 
will give the best results. A 6-inch pot will hold about 
6 bulbs. Place bulbs about 1 in. apart each way. 
Cover with an inch of soil, and water thoroughly; then put 
pots in a cold-frame or heel-in in the garden for eight to ten 
weeks to force root development. Bring pots indoors, first in 
a cool location and gradually to the average living room tem¬ 
perature. For full Cultural Directions, ask for the Burpee 
Leaflet No. 31, “Bulbs for Winter and Spring Blooming.”
