Paterson, N.J. [ 7 ] Quality with Economy 
T ulips 
To the Amateur: 
Tulips should be planted about October 
10th so that a strong root growth may 
develop before the ground freezes. This 
assures a fine, large bloom. If planted 
after November 1st a mulch of cow manure 
should be applied about January 1st or 
when ground is well frozen and removed 
about March 1st. 
If you would like the thrill of raising 
flowers of exhibition size and quality plant 
your Tulip bulbs as follows: Dig a trench 
about 1 foot deep. Then loosen the soil 
to a depth of 6 or more inches. Put in 
about 4 inches of shredded cattle ma¬ 
nure and cover this with a mixture of soil 
and sand to a depth of 2 inches. Plant 
your bulbs about 5 or 6 inches apart and 
cover with a soil, sand and manure mix¬ 
ture, adding a generous amount of bone- 
meal after the bulbs are well covered. 
After the ground thaws in early Spring add 
an application of commercial fertilizer and 
give the bed a good soaking. A lot of 
trouble ? . . perhaps, but oh what glorious 
flowers !
