HOW TO GROW GORGEOUS LONG STEMMED TULIPS 
Select only the largest size firm bulbs. Do not plant until 
ground is cool—November is about the best time. Plant in 
sun or half-shade. Spade up and fertilize the soil, with bone 
meal, not manure, to a depth of 12 inches. Plant bulbs at 
least 6 inches deep; in light soil, they can be 8 inches deep. 
Cover with a mulch of peat moss, manure or leaf mold, and 
give bed a thorough, deep soaking right after bulbs are 
planted. In place of a mulch, a ground cover of low growing 
annuals may be planted, that will bloom through the winter 
and continue until after tulip flowering time. Water only 
lightly, to keep surface from drying out, until tulip leaves 
appear above ground—then keep bed constantly moist, soak- 
ing it more thoroughly and oftener than most other flowers. 
Water must soak down at least six or eight inches to reach 
bulbs. Tulips require lots of water for long stemmed blooms. 


HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
Plant Lily bulbs in well prepared soil mixed with 
leaf mold, in a half-shaded situation that has very good 
drainage. Use no manure in the soil. Set bulbs on a 
layer of sand, and from 3 to 8 inches deep, depending 
on the size of the bulbs. Plant three times as deep as 
the diameter of the bulb. Apply bone meal or liquid 
fertilizer several times in spring.
