Choice ^ulupA, 
If you wish the very best Tulips, Tulips very large in size and on long stiff stems, 
you must plant only top size bulbs. The bulbs should be planted 6 inches deep in the 
late fall. The next spring the Tulips will come on at their best. The second season they 
will not be as good as the first, and the third season the blooms will be inferior to the 
second. At the end of the third season’s blooming it is always best to dig the bed up, 
get new bulbs in the fall, and start all over again with new Holland-grown bulbs. 
WE HANDLE ONLY HOLLAND-GROWN BULBS AND ONLY TOP SIZE BULBS
