Tulip Planting Suggestions 
Perfectly hardy and of easiest culture in any good garden 
soil, seldom failing to give the greatest satisfaction. When 
massed in beds or large clumps, the best effect is obtained. 
Double and Single sorts, when planted together in clumps 
among the shrubs or perennials, give a longer season of 
bloom than if either were planted alone. For best effect, 
when planted in small clumps, the bulbs should be set 4 
inches deep and 4 inches apart, but in large beds or borders 
a distance of 5 or 6 inches between the bulbs can be allowed.

and fine form. Doz. 70c, 100 ^5.00.

Double Early Tulips 
These are useful for bedding and forcing; the large, peony-like blossoms are 
highly ornamental, coming into bloom about a week or more after the Single 
Early sorts, and lasting considerably longer in flower. They make the best 
display, and the effect is better when planted one variety in a bed or clump. 
The letter after the name indicates the time of bloom; those marked (A) 
bloom together, followed in about a week by (B) and (C), the latest.
