It is very easy to set such a bed just by having the picture before you. To be sure your Bulbs 
are set in straight lines a good plan is to remove 4 to 5 inches of the surface soil, lay your Bulbs 
on top and when sure they are lined properly throw over then the soil you had taken off the bed. 
The combination of colors is purely a matter of individual taste. Sometimes the bed is made up 
of a row of early flowering Tulips rotating with a row of late flowering, lengthening the life of 
your bed to almost a month. The only undesirable feature of this plan is that you-do not have 
such a solid mass of bloom, and a bed of Darwins is a wonderful sight. 
The same designs shown on page nine can be used for planting Tulips, setting the bulbs 
somewhat closer together according to the class of Tulips you select, as close as three inches if 
you wish a dense mass of color. For making these designed beds we will send you the number of 
bulbs assorted as to color you select, at the hundred bulb prices. 
MANY PEOPLE GO IN FOR DES1GNE0 BEDS PLANTED WITH MIXED TULIPS 
We therefore make up two mixtures, for this particular purpose, though they are adapted for 
planting anywhere mixed Tulips are desired.

These Bulbs come to us from Holland already mixed, and they are smaller size Bulbs, the 
usual size sold as mixed Tulips for bedding purposes. All are good, healthy, sound Bulbs such 
as we have been selling for years, with satisfaction to our friends, and at quite a saving to them 
in cost. 
Tulips are quite a litte higher in price than they were before the war, all Bulbs are, but we 
have increased our prices only the additional amount they actually cost us in Holland, or rather 
delivered here, because freight and insurance are also higher, though somewhat lower than dur¬ 
ing the war. But what we started out to say was that Tulips are so comparatively inexpensive 
that unless one actually prefers mixed he usually buys the named varieties and therefore knows 
how his colors will be arranged yvhen they bloom. (Page 19)
