DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS 
As a general rule, double Tulips are not so effective as single Tulips, but 
the flowers are more durable, and, as their season of bloom is somewhat 
later, they serve to prolong the flowering period. With few exceptions they 
should be used for outdoor bedding only, as they do not force so well as 
the single varieties. 
In arranging beds of Double Tulips it is advisable to use only one 
variety in a bed, rather than to combine them as in the case of Single 
Tulips. Beds of different varieties can usually be arranged within a few feet 
of each other, thus permitting the characteristics of each variety to stand 
out distinctly, and also give the effect of one large bed of double flowers.
