Darwin and Breeder Tulips 
Tulips thrive in any good garden soil. Set bulbs 
firmly so feeding and anchoring roots will contact 
earth without intervening air pockets. 
Plantings in heavy soil call for a handful of river 
sand below each bulb. Top of bulb should be about 
6 inches below surface in sandy soil, and about 5 inches 
below surface soil in heavy soil. Half a handful of 
Bonemeal mixed with earth below each bulb when 
planting will supply sufficient plant food. 
Figure following each varietal name indicates relative 
time of flowering. Heights given are comparative only, 
inasmuch as they are greatly influenced by the location 
of Tulip beds. 
Mariposa (Butterfly Tulips) will be found under 
Calochortus.
