Tulips for Bedding 
The Tulips are universal favorites; the most popular and attractive for early Spring display in the garden* 
or for Winter blooming in the house or conservatory. Tulips can be used in many places in the garden, if one 
wishes to get the most out of them. 
Bold masses of one, two or three solid colors are well known and prove one of the showiest and most attrac¬ 
tive ways of growing these “Queen of Spring Flowers.” In groups, several of one color together, they are very 
effective, especially along the hardy border, or in beds that will later bloom with Summer colors. It is best to 
avoid the one-flower spotty effect, as masses of one color make a far more satisfactory showing. For April and 
May the Tulip adds just the needed bit of color to brighten the entire lawn. 
For Spring flowers, plant bulbs outside in October and November. The soil should be well dug over, and 
a liberal supply of well rotted manure applied. Fertilizer is also good. For best effect, when planting in small 
clumps, the bulbs should be set four inches deep and four inches apart, but in large beds or borders a distance of 
five or six inches between the bulbs can be allowed.
