Here Is the Way We Plant Tulip Bulbs 
Bonemeal is spread on the ground where the bulbs are to be planted, 
using 10 pounds to each 100 square feet (10 x 10). The earth is then 
spaded to a depth of 18 inches, firmed down and raked smooth. The bulbs 
are then placed on top of the ground, about 6 inches apart, at the spot 
where they are io be planted. (Better effects are obtained where at least 
6 bulbs of a variety are planted together. We keep them in groups of 
25 to 50 of a kind.) A trowel digs out a hole 6 inches deep in which the 
bulb is set and the hole filled in with earth. The important item of food 
for the bulb comes next. Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissus, etc., make their 
roots right after they are set out in the fall. Large blooms come from 
bulbs that have large root growth, and large root growth comes from 
proper feeding. Any complete plant food is good, spreading it on the 
ground after the bulbs have all been set, using 5 Ibs. to each 100 square 
feet. We finish up with a smooth raking for it will be too late to do this 
in the spring when the Tulips are breaking through the ground.
