How to Grow Tulips 
Outdoors: Tulips, except Botanical (Species), should 
not be planted in soil in which they had been grown 
the last two seasons. Select a new location. Do not use 
fresh manure at planting time; well-rotted manure or 
bone meal may be used. Plant bulbs 5 to 6 in. deep and 
6 to 8 in. apart. 
Indoors: A mixture of ^ good clean garden soil and 
^3 leaf mold to which a little bone meal has been added 
gives the best [results. A 6-inch pot will hold about 6 
bulbs. Place bulbs about 1 in. apart each way. Cover 
with an inch of soil, and water thoroughly; then put pots 
in a cold-frame or heel-in in the garden for eight to ten 
weeks to force root development. Bring pots indoors, 
first in a cool location and gradually to the average 
living room temperature. For full Cultural Directions, 
ask for the Burpee Leaflet No. 31, “Bulbs for Winter 
and Spring Blooming.”
