TULIPS - How Many Bulbs to Order for Beds of a Specific Size 
Below we give the number of bulbs needed to plant a circular bed of the dimensions stated. Plant outside rows 
first, placing the bulbs 3 inches from edge of bed. It is advisable to plant the outer rows more closely than those 
toward the center.

To arrive at the number of bulbs required for an oval bed, add the length and breadth and divide by two, using 
the result as the diameter in above table. A bed 6 feet wide by 8 feet long will require the same number of bulbs as 
a round bed 7 feet in diameter. (6 + 8 = 14; divided by 2 gives 7.)
