Tulips


DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS [Bl: E, Zones: 3 to 7] Use: border, rckgdn, forcing Size: 12cm/up


This class includes all tulips originating from sports of one variety, Murillo, which was fi rst registered in 1860. Very few of the members in this distinguished fam-


ily tree have any trace of Murillo’s original pink color. However, all progeny have large, double blooms


which resemble peonies and stand erect on strong 8 to 12 inch stems, making them a smart choice for early spring beds and borders. All force well and have long-lasting blooms.
