CHOICE BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
3 
Tulips 
Tulips for bedding are the 
most popular and effective of 
all hardy bulbous plants. In 
our descriptions we give the 
color and average height to 
which they grow. For pot cul¬ 
ture and forcing for Winter 
cut flowers, they are invaluable. 
The cultural directions given 
for Hyacinths on page 1 are 
equally applicable to Tulips, 
except that the bulbs, being 
smaller, must not be planted 
quite so deep. Four inches to 
the bottom of the bulb is deep 
enough, and a distance of 5 to 
6 inches between the bulbs is 
sufficient. They may be plant¬ 
ed in October and November, 
before the ground freezes. For 
pot culture, a compost of two 
parts loam to one part light 
manure,. with some sand inter¬ 
mixed, is suitable. From three 
to five bulbs, according to size, 
in a 5-inch pot, are very effec¬ 
tive. The pots should be bur¬ 
ied until the bulbs are well 
rooted in the manner recom¬ 
mended for Hyacinths.
