(Ready November 15th) 
Postage Extra—See Parcel Post Inside Back Cover 
It has long been the ambition of every southern 
gardener to grow the gorgeous tulips that are such 
universal favorites in the temperate and arctic reg¬ 
ions. These brilliantly colored spring flowers have 
been proven to be unsuccessful when grown in the 
warmer climates of southern Georgia and Florida, 
but through the development of a special treating 
process the Howard Seed Company is making it pos¬ 
sible for everyone to have a planting of tulips. When 
planted from November 16 to the first of December 
the bulbs will bloom about March 1st, bearing large 
flowers on stems averaging 24 inches in length.

Tulips are generally grown as perennials, but they 
can be handled only as annuals, due to the mild 
winters. The bulbs are easily grown either in solid 
plantings or among shrubbery or other flowers in the 
border. When planting a solid bed set the bulbs 
about five inches deep, and place them eight inches 
apart. They require no special soil except for the 
fact they need perfect drainage. Organic fertilizers 
such as stable manures should not be placed in direct 
contact with the bulbs, as this will cause them to rot.
