TULIPS 
Surpassing 
Beauty 
this 
easy way 

Our fields will be open to 
visitors, even though we know 
fewer of you will be able to 
visit them. 
Expected blossoming dates for 
our Tulips: Starting May 10th 
to May 30th, with the majority 
in bloom by May 20th. 

Admired by everyone for 
brilliance of color and variety, 
beauty of shape and gorgeous 
display, the Tulip has also 
earned its place in your garden 
because a its hardihood and 
resistance to all weather condi- 
tions. Once planted, ‘the healthy 
Tulip bulb seems to defy all 
caprices of Nature, and to thrive 
under circumstances far too rig- 
orous for less sturdy flowers. 
ALMOST ANY SOIL WILL 
DO. Practically any garden 
earth ordinarily used for other 
flowers is sitesele for the Tulip. 
However, the bulbs should not 
be planted too often in the 
same bed without fresh soil, or 
without giving the bed a “‘rest’’ 
from Tulips now and_ then. 
There should! of course, be ade- 
quate soil drainage. > 
ANT BULBS IN LATE 
FALL. The latter part of Sep- 
tember, October and early No- 
vember is the planting season 
for Tulip bulbs. Top size bulbs 
should be lanted, bottoms 
down, about four inches below 
surface, and about six inches 
apart. Bulbs of lesser size can 
be planted closer together, but 
never less than four inches. 
After planting no further atten- 
tion need be given to bulbs. 
TAKE UP BULBS IN SUM- 
MER. After its spring flower- 
ing, cut off the wilted bloom an 
inch or two below top of stem. 
A few weeks later, when leaves 
have turned to yellow, dig up 
bulbs and lay out to dry in the 
shade. Properly cared for, a top 
size bulb will yield excellent 
blooms for a number of years. 
NELIS BULBS NEED NOT 
BE PAMPERED. As every Tu- 
lip lover knows, success in 
growing is almost entirely a 
matter of selecting bulbs from 
the right source. They should 
be of top size and free from 
blemish or disease. Nelis Do- 
mestic Tulip bulbs have all the 
desired qualities for best re- 
sults and are so guaranteed.
