Early Double Tulips 
Double flowering Tulips are of fairly robust growth and have massive flowers, in many 
cases they are as large as small Peonies, and last somewhat longer than Single Tulips. 
The Double Tulips are not so elegantly formed as Single Tulips, nevertheless they are 
exceedingly useful and effective for bedding purposes. Most of the Double varieties 
are excellent forcers and they make fine displays when grown in pots, pans, boxes, etc., 
they should, however, be forced slowly.
