DIGGING —When tops turn yellow and die down tulips should be dug. 
This usually occurs about July 1st. If lifted at this time the brown husk 
of the bulb will remain intact and protect the bulb which is very suscept¬ 
ible to bruises. If dug: too late the husk will crack and peal thus exposing 
the tender meat or the bulb. 
STORING — Bulbs should be stored in a shady, well ventilated place 
but not in a basement, as none are sufficiently aired and most are too damp. 
TRANSPLANT OFTEN — The natural tendency of tulip bulbs is to 
break up or divide into smaller bulbs and this occurs whether planted in 
rich or poor soil. In order to give the bulbs room to develop they should 
be transplanted every two years. Practically any variety of a tulip bulb 
three-fourths of an inch in diameter grown in this country will produce a 
nice bloom. Any bulbs which we send out have bloomed the past season, 
and of course will produce finer flowers the following season. They average 
more than one inch in diameter. 
REGARDING PRICES —The wholesale prices of all classes of Dutch 
bulbs have materially advanced due to the added duty and other restric¬ 
tions. In order that our customers may obtain bulbs at the lowest prices we 
do not import but grow our own bulbs. These are fully acclimated and 
always hardier than those imported.
