Three Times Their Own Depth is a Good General Rule For Planting Bulbs Outdoors

TULIPS 



Outdoor Culture 



Chrysoiora 



Tulips may be planted any time from 

 October until the ground freezes. Set them 

 three to six inches apart and about four 

 inches deep, measuring from the shoulder 

 of the bulb to the sm^face of the ground. 

 Good drainage is very important. An inch or 

 two of sand beneath each bulb when it is 

 planted will take care of excess moisture 

 which might cause the bulbs to rot. Tulips 

 are so hardy that they need winter protec- 

 tion only in severe cUmates. A light mulch- 

 ing after the ground is frozen is sufficient. 



Indoor Culture 



Many varieties of Tulips force readily 

 and are popular for winter flowering. If 

 potted in September and treated the same 

 as hyacinths (see page 13), they will usu- 

 ally bloom in December. From three to 

 twelve bulbs planted in a suitable pot make 

 a splendid sho'wdng. 



SINGLE EARiy TULIPS 



Bloom in Early Sprins 



Single Early Tulips have recently come 

 into great favor again. They produce the 

 first splash of brilliant color in the garden, 

 and to make the best display they should 

 be planted in large masses. Single Early 

 varieties begin flowering from one to two 

 weeks sooner than the later kinds. They 

 mature and ripen their leaves early enough 

 so that they can be taken up to make room 

 for annuals and other plants. Single Earlies 

 are the easiest of all Tulips to grow indoors." 



A, B, C, etc., foflowing the name of a 

 variety, refers to time of blooming when 

 planted outdoors: 

 A — earliest. 

 B — come into bloom before those 



marked A are gone. 

 C — a few days later than the B Class. 



Letters d, m, or t (dwarf, medium, or 

 tall) indicate comparative heights when 

 bulbs are grown outdoors. This is useful in 

 selecting varieties for border planting.
