TULIPS 
Surpassing 
Beauty 
this 
easy way 

Admired by everyone 
for brilliance of color and 
variety, beauty of shape 
and gorgeous display, the 
Tulip has also earned its 
place in your garden be- 
cause of its hardihood and 
resistance to all weather 
conditions. Once planted, 
the healthy Tulip bulb 
seems to defy all caprices 
of Nature, and to thrive 
under circumstances far 
too rigorous for less sturdy 
flowers. 
ALMOST ANY SOIL WILL 
DO. Practically any garden 
earth ordinarily used for other 
flowers is suitable for the Tulip. 
However, the bulbs should not 
be planted too often in 
same bed without fresh soil or 
without giving the bed a “‘rest’’ 
from Tulips now and then. 
There should, of course, be ade- 
quate DRAINAGE always. 
BULBS such as Tulips, Daf- 
fodils and Hyacinths, ae well as 
miscellaneous bulbs, must be 
planted in the fall. For Tulips 
there are two ways of planting, 
shallow for increase of bulbs, 
and deep for f pecmanengy When 
planting shallow, plant in Sep- 
tember, October or November, 
or later if ground is not frozen. 
When following the deep meth- 
od of planting, the bulbs may 
be planted any time after arrival 
of the bulbs.
