Culture. The bulbs of Single Early Tulips should be planted 

 4 to 5 inches deep, and 5 to 6 inches apart. For pots, six or seven 

 bulbs in a 7-inch pan are very satisfactory; ten bulbs in a pot 

 one size larger make a more showy display. To allow root- 

 gro\^^h to begin and develop properly, it is well to break or cut 

 apart the skin at the base of the bulb immediately before p>otting.
