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.

TULIP PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
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.
