Plan ting Instructions 
LULIES 
Any ordinary garden soil is suitable for Tulips, providing it is in good condition 
and well drained. If the soil is heavy, mix with sand or plant the bulbs in a layer of 
sand. If the soil needs enriching, use WELL ROTTED or dehydrated cattle manure or 
any good garden fertilizer, being careful to follow instructions on the containers of 
the fertilizers. Work the fertilizer through the soil, or spread it over the top, allowing 
it to soak during the winter months. 
Plant from October first until the ground is frozen and no longer workable. We 
will ship your bulbs in plenty of time for planting. In southern United States the 
planting time extends into December and January. We suggest that you refrigerate 
the bulbs in areas where freezing temperatures are not experienced. Four to eight 
weeks before planting, place the bulbs in your refrigerator. This allows the bulb to 
form a good root system which is essential to produce a sturdy plant. 
When the ground is frozen solid, not before, cover with a thin layer of straw or 
hay. In the spring keep the soil loose and clean. After the flowers are through 
blooming, remove the seed pods. Allow the foliage and stem to turn brown before you 
lift the bulbs. Dry the bulbs inside, such as garage, shed, etc. When dry, store in a 
cool, dry place, making sure that no sand remains. Prevent moulding by storing them 
in thin layers in open crates, or onion and orange sacks. Remove roots and loose hulls 
before planting again in the fall. 
Botanical Tulips may be left in the ground for years if they appear to have found 
conditions to their liking. This depands greatly upon the place they are grown, and 
your results obtained from previous experience.
