From late October till the end of November is the most favorable 
Ijlanting time although plant.ng may he done as late as early 
January. Early and shallow’ itlanting will often result in short 
stems and inferior blooms since warm weather at planting time will 
start tojt growth before loots are formed. 
Peat is a valualile addition to any kind of soil in which bulbs 
are to lie planted and is essential for retaining moisture in very 
heavy or very light soils. 
Plant tulip liulhs 6 inches deep in sandy soil and 5 inches deep in 
heavy soil. Good drainage is essential and it is often advisable to 
raise the level of tulip beds above the surrounding garden if drain¬ 
age is doubtful. Place a handful of sand under each bulb when 
planting to aid in drainage. Do not allow fresh manure or com¬ 
mercial fertilizer to come in contact with the bulbs. Dig it down 
lielow where the hullis are to he planted, or apply it as a top-dressing 
after planting has been done. 
Water thoroughly as soon as bulbs are planted. Do not allow 
soil to become dry after young leaves are through. Tulips need lots 
of water when growing. As soon as 1)looms have fallen, remove the 
seed pods and keep the beds well watered and cultivated for a month. 
When foliage is ripe and dry, dig the bulbs, dry them thoroughly 
in the shade, clean them and store in a cool, well ventilated place 
until the next planting season.
