Hfaw te Plant Tulip 
and HAyacinth Bulbs 
PLANTING TIME—In California do not 
plant your tulip and hyacinth bulbs before 
the end of October. You may expect good 
results from bulbs planted up to January 
Ist. 
LOCATION — Tulips and hyacinths can 
stand full sun, but the blooms will last 
longer if exposed only to morning sun. 
SOIL PREPARATION — Raised beds — 
& to 8 inches above ground level — insure 
good drainage and give the best results. 
Spade your soil well, to a depth of 18 
inches. 
FERTILIZER—To enrich soil use a generous 
amount of well-rotted cow manure, or any 
of the commercial fertilizers. To loosen a 
rich and heavy soil, use peatmoss or coarse 
sand. 
SPACING OF BULBS — Space your bulbs 
first. When interplanting with pansies, vi- 
olas, or forget-me-nots, 12 inches, other- 
wise 5 or 6 inches. 
DEPTH—Plant bulbs at equal depth 5" or 
6". The general rule is to plant all bulbs 
2'/, times the diameter of the bulb. 
PLANTING — Push Balbe firmly into the 
soil — release trowel and cover. 
WATERING — In California water once 
every week until the rains start.
