Culture. Bulbs should be planted 5 to 6 
Inches deep and not less than 5 inches apart. 
One-half inch of sand at base of bulbs will 
amply repay the trouble by the provision for 
drainage during wet weather. For forcing, 
bulbs should be planted as soon as received, 
and the flowers appear to better advantage 
if pots a trifle deeper than the ordinary bulb- 
pans are used. We recommend what are 
termed azalea-pots for this purpose. A tem- 
perature of 55 to 60 degrees is recommended, 
for if allowed to ‘‘come gently,” larger flowers 
and longer stems may be had.

drainage than cold weather. Our suggestion 
is to make sure of a well-drained Jocation for 
success with Tulips.
