In California do not plant your tulip 
bulbs before the end of October. You 
may expect good results from bulbs 
planted up to January 1st. 
+ 
Spade your soil well, to a depth of 18 
inches. A well spaded soil which drains 
easy, requires no fertilizer. 
+ 
LOCATION—Tulips can stand full sun, 
but the blooms will last longer if ex¬ 
posed only to morning sun. 
+ 
Space your bulbs first — when inter- 
planting with pansies, violas, or forget- 
me-nots, 12 inches, otherwise 5 or 6 
inches. 
+ 
Plant bulbs at equal depth 5" or 6". The 
general rule is to plant bulbs 2 V 2 times 
the diameter of the bulb. 
+ 
Push bulbs firmly into soil — release 
trowel and cover. Soak soil well after 
planting. In California water every week 
until rains start.
