D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MiCH. Double Tulips are especially desirable for what is called "carpet bedding," o^Ying to their short growing habit and sharp and well distinguished colors. White, red and yel- low sorts of about the same height, planted in lines of three or four rows of each color, form with their large, rose-like flowers, beds of surpassing beauty. They are generally later in blooming than the single sorts and so serve to prolong the season of gorgeous beauty in the spring flower garden. Those sorts marked A, indicate first early and B, second early flowering varieties. The letter d, m or t (dwarf, medium or tall) indi- cates comparative height when grown outdoors. The first early kinds are not only valuable bed- ders but succeed admirably if forced in pots.
