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 ‘s 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 crowns, and large roots come 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 breaking through 
the ground. It is not at all necessary to take Tulip bulbs out of the 
ground each year. Many bulb gardeners plant them 8 inches deep and 
never move them. 
ALL COLORS MIXED. Well balanced mixture of all the above colors. 
We assemble this mixture from the better named kinds, right here in 
our warehouse. $1.25 for 12; $2.45 for 25; $9.25 for 100
