Round Tulip-Beds 
YOUR SELECTION 
A round bed should be planted with one bulb 
in the center, 6 for the first circle, 12 for the second 
circle, 18 for the third circle, etc. Plant Tulips 5 
inches apart in the row, and the rows 5 inches apart. 
Select your own color or colors. We offer White, 
Red, Pink and Yellow. Your choice, single, un¬ 
named varieties. 
Getting the Most out of 
Tulips 
Plant boldly in masses, avoid the one-flower 
spotty effect. Group several of a kind together, 
especially along the hardy border or in beds that 
will later bloom with summer colors. For May or 
even April, Tulips add just the needed bit of color 
to brighten the entire lawn.
