anything but the very best bulbs that can be purchased. These bulbs are of the finest quality that come out of 
Holland, grown for us by men who have proved themselves for over a quarter of a century to be among the best 
growers in Holland. Early Single and Early Double Flowering Tulips are very easily forced into bloom during the winter.

Here Is the Way We Plant Tulip Bulbs 
Bone meal is spread on the ground where the bulbs are to be planted, 
using 10 pounds to each 100 square feet (10 x 10). The earth is then 
spaded to a depth of 12 inches, firmed down and raked smooth. The 
bulbs are then placed on top of the ground, about 6 inches apart, at the 
spot where they are to be planted. (Better effects are obtained where 
at least 6 bulbs of a variety are planted together. We keep them in 
groups of 25 to 50 of a kind.) A trowel digs out a hole 6 inches deep 
in which the bulb is set and the hole filled in with earth. The important 
item of food for the bulb comes next. Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissus, etc., 
make their roots right after they are set out in the fall. Large blooms 
come from bulbs that have large root growth, and large root growth 
comes from proper feeding. Any complete plant food is good, spreading 
it on the surface of the ground after the bulbs have all been set, using 
5 pounds to each 100 square feet. We finish up with a smooth raking 
for it will be too late to do this in the spring when the Tulips are break- 
ing through the ground. It is not at all necessary to take Tulips bulbs 
out of the ground each year. Many bulb gardeners plant them 8 inches 
deep and never move them.
