It's Tuh 



Tulips may be i)lant('(l any time 

 from October mitil the ground freezes. 

 Set them three to six inches apart and 

 about four inches deep, measuring 

 from the shoulder of the bulb to the 

 surface of the ground, (iood drainage 

 is very important. An inch or two of 

 sand l)eneath each bulb when it is 

 planted will take care of excess 

 moisture which might cause the bulbs 

 to rot. Tulijis are so hardy that they 

 need winter protection only in severe 

 climates. A light mulching after the 

 ground is frozen is sufhcient. 



Many varieti(>sof Tulijis are popu- 

 lar for wint(T flowrring. If potted in 

 S(^pt ember and tn>ated the same as 

 hyacinths (see page 6). they will 

 usually bloom in December. From 

 three to twelve bulbs ])lanted in a 

 suitable pot make a splendid showing. 



A, B, C, etc., following the name of 

 a variety, refer 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, in, or t (dwarf, tnedium, 

 or tall) indicate comparative heights 

 when bulbs are grown outdoors. This is 

 useful in selecting varieties for border 

 planting. 



INGLE EARLY 

 TULIPS 



(Bloom in Early Spring) 



Single Earlies are the Easiest af All Tulips to Grow Indoors 



Single Early Tulips produce the 



first splash of brilliant color in the 



garden. 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.
