HOW TO GROW 
GORGEOUS, LONG-STEMMED TULIPS 
Select only the largest size firm bulbs, as offered by Paul J. Howard’s. 
Plant in sun or semi-shade. 
Spade up and fertilize the soil to a depth of 12 inches. 
Plant bulbs at least six inches deep. In light soil, they can be eight 
inches deep. 

. Cover with a mulch of peat moss, manure or leaf mold, and give bed 
a thorough soaking right after bulbs are planted. In place of a mulch, 
a cover of low growing annuals may be planted, that will bloom 
through the winter and continue until after tulip-flowering time. 
Water only lightly, to keep surface from drying out, until tulip leaves 
appear above ground,—then
