To ascert.-iin the approximate number of bulbs required for a bed 

 of any si:'e 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 6 .x 4 or 24 will give 72 

 as the number of bulbs required.
