The one good reason against too early planting is that 
warm fall rains may start growth. Then bulbs will not come 
through the winter nearly as well as when dormant. Good 
planting time is about three to four weeks ahead of the 
first expected freeze. 
Keeping Bulbs and Plants Until Ready To Set 
vee will likely receive your bulbs early, if you order them 
with perennial plants, which should be planted early. 
Naturally, neither you nor the nursery likes to divide your 
order. In that case, plant the perennials at once, and hold 
the bulbs until later. Avoid storing the bulbs where air cur- 
rents can get at them, to avoid drying out. Simply open the 
box or container, and put it in a cool dark place. Also open 
any paper bags at the top. 
Planting Arrangements 
IN? all people like the same types of display; hence this 
little chapter. You may like to plant your Tulips, etc. 
in beds. Others may prefer borders, and some may plant 
under shrubbery. 
One of the nicest of all displays is the border, either in front 
of shrubbery, or at the edge of perennial plantings. Dig a 
trench, then set the bulbs. Borders give more display for 
your money than a bed. 
Beds do present a variety of possibilities, however. You can 
have a round bed solidly planted to Tulips of all one color, 
or you can have a main color bordered with something dif- 
ferent, according to individual taste. Beds may be greatly 
varied. 
; Under Shrubbery 
5 Pais many people overlook the fine possibilities of this 
method. ‘There are two reasons for planting under shrub- 
bery: 
(1) Many people can find room for Tulips, Hyacinths and 
Narcissi under shrubbery, who would not have room other- 
wise. 
(2) The method is exceedingly beautiful, especially with 
Tulips.

Tulips will bloom at about the time that the buds of your 
shrubs first develop green, partly opened leaves, and the ef- 
fect of the Tulips among these delicate green color spots is 
wonderfully amazing. One sets off the other beautifully, and 
so we urge again: do not overlook under-shrubbery plant- 
ing.
