Theybridge the gap between the Single Early and the Late Tuhps, thus extending the season of gorgeous beauty from late April until nearly June. The flowers of Double Tuhps are larger than those of Single Earlies and look much like peonies. They are more open and broader than the cup-shaped Single types. When planted in a mass of one color, they are especially effec- tive, making a solid sheet of bloom that often hides the leaves. Double Tulips need soil that is somewhat richer than that for the Single Earlies in order to per- fect their huge blossoms. Bone- meal is usually a safer fertilizer to use than manure.
