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 make fine displays when grown in pots, 
pans, boxes, etc., they should however be forced slowly.
