A&M Colorful Tulips 
This popular bulb of cooler climates does well in South- 
ern California. Plant them in beds or borders in large num- 
bers so the graceful straight stems will hold their goblets 
of pure color proudly in view. Such beds win universal 
admiration during March. They are especially useful in 
combination with flowering trees and along paths in the 
Victory Garden in double or triple rows for a showy spring 
garden. 
In preparing the soil for Tulips, barnyard manure should 
not be spaded in unless it is several months in advance of 
planting. Use Bandini Gro-Rite at the time of planting, 
placing it an inch or two below the bulb. The addition of 
Gypsum to heavy adobe soil is very beneficial in making the 
soil more porous. Plant 5 to 7 ins. deep and 7 to 8 ins. apart.

GERMINATING SEEDS IN FLATS — Some seeds 
such as Gerbera, Delphinium, etc., are a little difficult 
to germinate under ordinary circumstances, but if the 
following soil preparation is used a high percentage of 
germination can be depended upon and the danger of 
damping-off will be practically eliminated. Take two- 
thirds peat moss soaked thoroughly in water to one- 
third coarse sand. Fill the flats with this mixture and 
firm with a brick or block of wood, leaving a smooth 

WILLIAM COPELAND surface. Broadcast the seeds on the surface, pressing 
- . j them lightly into the soil, and cover them with sand
