From October to December is the best time 
for planting Tulips, although planting may be 
done up to the early part of January. If plant- 
ing is done late in the winter, it is best to plant 
where the Tulips will receive partial shade, as 
too much sun may cause the late planted 
Tulips to open too soon, which will result in 
short-stemmed flowers of inferior size. 
Plant Tulip bulbs 6 inches deep in sandy 
soil and 5 inches deep in heavy soil; that is, 
the top of the bulbs should be covered with 
that depth of soil. Place a handful of sand 
under each bulb and water thoroughly after 
planting. Tulips do best when the soil is cool 
and moist. Do not mix any fresh manure or 
chemical fertilizer in the soil where it will 
come in contact with the bulbs. If the soil is of 
poor quality, dig in some well-rotted cow ma- 
nure several weeks in advance of planting. 
The quality of the flowers your Tulips pro- 
duce will depend more on the size and vigor of 
the bulbs you plant than on any other one 
thing. When you consider the time and labor 
that you put into growing your Tulips it is 
wisest to plant only the best grade of bulbs. 

‘Roeding' s Quality AC U L I P S 
NORTHWEST AND HOLLAND GROWN 
A great new field has been reopened to Tulip lovers with the revival of 
Holland bulb importations. Here we have assembled the choicest of the domestic 
and Holland varieties, in a wide type and color range, something we have not 
been able to do for five years. The quality of our domestic Tulips has reached 
“tops” in the last few years, and as always, you can expect the very best from 
Holland. Prices of standard favorite varieties are more reasonable, too.
