HOW TO PLANT TULIPS 
Tulip bulbs are planted in the fall and early 
winter. The general rule is to set them 4 to 6 inches 
deep, and about 5 to 8 inches apart. However, they 
can be planted as deep as 10 to 12 inches if you care 
to go to that much trouble. The deeper you plant 
them the better they will do, particularly when you 
intend to leave the bulbs in the ground for several 
years. An average good garden soil with some 
commercial fertilizer worked in it before planting, 
will produce excellent blooms. It is not necessary 
to dig up the bulbs every year. They may be left 
in the ground as long as they bloom well. However, 
many gardeners do follow the practice of digging 
the bulbs after they have bloomed and the foliage 
starts to turn yellow, storing them during the sum- 
mer and replanting them in the fall.
