Planting Darwin Tulips in shallow flats is unwise, but setting the 
bulbs so deep, that the tips are invisible, ts the HEIGHT OF FOLLY. Some 
florists who know better, do not watch their help on this point. Very 
often the bulbs stand on less than ¥ inch of soil. Set your Tulip bulbs 
34 ABOVE the soil in the flats. Cover with a thin layer of ashes, then a 
layer of soil. Tulips rooted like that, can stand a days neglect or 
uneven watering later on in the greenhouse, for the roots have hold of 
a good ball of dirt. They force more easily and earlier for the warm 
air of the greenhouse plays directly on the bulbs. Try tt and compare 
results with your old method.
