TULIPS 
Our Large Tulip bulbs are ‘’TOP 
SIZE” or 12 centimeters (47s inches) 
in circumference. Our Second Size is 
11 centimeters in circumference, or 
the commonly advertised ‘’First Size’’. 
Best results are to be had by using 
soil that Tulips have not been grown 
in for at least two years. Growing more 
than two years in the same soil eventu- 
ally leads to failure. Do not use ma- 
nure. If the soil needs fertility, mix 
bone meal with it at the rate of about 
three handfuls to the square yard. Plant 
5 inches deep and at least 6 inches 
apart. In very severe climates a mulch 
of peat moss or leaves will be beneficial. This should be applied 
after the first freeze, and should not be over one inch deep. 
INDOOR CULTURE—Follow directions for Daffodils, making 
sure that the flower bud can be felt in the green tips before bring- 
ing the pots into a temperature of about 60 degrees. If in doubt, 
wait a little longer.
