Besides being planted in solid 
beds, Tulips are often used in groups 
in the perennial or shrub border. 
Good companions for them are pan- 
sies, forget-me-nots, and English 
daisies. The long, strong stems of 
the Darwin and Cottage Tulips make 
them excellent for cutting.

BREEDER AND 
DARWIN -: 
Culture. Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep and not 
less than 5 inches apart. One-half inch of sand at base of bulbs 
will amply repay the trouble by the provision for drainage during 
wet weather. For forcing, bulbs should be planted as soon as 
received, and the flowers appear to better advantage if pots a 
trifle deeper than the ordinary bulb-pans are used. We recom- 
mend what are termed azalea-pots for this purpose. A tempera- 
ture of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, for if allowed to “come 
gently,” Jarger flowers and longer stems may be had. 
Should we cover our Tulips? Tulips are the easiest of bulbous 
plants to grow. We advise, however, against covering them with 
any kind of mulch. In the first place, the bulbs do not require 
warmth. Mulches provide ideal nesting-places for field-mice which 
seem to like to eat the bulbs. In mild winters mulches encourage 
premature growth. Greater damage is done to Tulips by poor 
drainage than cold weather. Our suggestion is to make sure of a 
well-drained location for success with Tulips.
