GENERAL CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR TULIPS 
POTS FOR WINTER WINDOW BLOOMS: Set 4 to 6 
bulbs in 6 inch pots, saturate with water, set in cold-frame 
or bury outside, covering with coal ashes. After about 6 
weeks, the pots may be brought into a cool room and 
later to a warm sunny window for bringing into flower. 
Succession of blooms may be enjoyed by bringing in a 
pot every ten days or two weeks. Varieties marked x will 
do well in pots, if desired; however. Tulips are in their 
glory set in beds. 
BEDDING: Select a well-drained location with good 
soil, prepare bed thoroughly, adding well-rotted compost, 
if possible. Set bulbs 6 inches deep 6 inches apart. After 
the ground freezes over, give a very light covering of litter, 
straw or compost if climate is severe; this should be re¬ 
moved in early spring.
