DOUBLE TULIPS have massive flowers of brilliant and varied colors, shades and markings, and being double, the flowers last much longer in bloom than single vari- eties, and, in consequence, when singles and doubles are planted in conjunction the "time of the Tulips" is greatly prolonged. Double Tulips are beautifully adapted for beds on the lawn, in the garden, and for mingling in clumps of half a dozen or more around the edges of shrubbery. They are robust growers and exceedingly effective. The early sorts (those indicated by an "A" orr "B") do splendidly when grown in pots for winter blooming; but must be forced much slower than Single Early Tulips, b3T keeping them cooler. The letters following the varieties indicate their earliness: those marked "A" flower together and are the earliest; those marked " 13 " follow, etc. The figures indicate the average height in inches. " " *' We supply 6 Bulbs of one variety at the dozen rate, 25 at the 100 rate, 250 at the 1,000 rate. DOUBLE TULIP—MURILLO.
