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- 
growth to begin and develop properly, it is well to break or cut 
apart the skin at the base of the bulb immediately before potting.
