BREEDER TULIPS 
Breeders are tall, their colors are dignified, 
mostly purples, browns, bronzes, reddish- 
orange shades and the like. These are only 
outward appearances, for inside their fragrant 
cups are an unsuspected sparkle, gloss and 
glitter. Many of them are very long lasting 
in the garden and offer unusual possibilities 
for cutting.

TUIAP CULTURE 
Best results are to be had by using soil that 
Tulips have not been grown in for at least two 
years. Growing more than two years in the 
same soil will eventually lead to failure. Do 
not use manure, if the soil needs fertility, mix 
bone meal with it at the rate of about three 
handfuls to the square yard. Plant 5 inches 
deep and at least 6 inches apart. In very severe 
climates a mulch of peat moss or leaves will 
be beneficdal. This should be applied after the 
first freeze, and should not lie over one inch 
deep.
