To ascertain the approximate number of bulbs required for a bed 

 of any size or shape, the area being known, divide the number of 

 square inches in the bed by the product of the distance of the bulbs 

 apart both ways ; for example, a bed of 12 square feet contains 

 1,728 square inches if bulbs are to be planted 6 inches apart one 

 way by 4 inches the other, divide 1,728 by 6x4 or 24 will give 72 

 as the number of bulbs required.
