Here is the Way We Plant Tulip Bulbs 
The earth is spaded to a depth of 12 inches firmed down and raked 
smooth. The bulbs are placed on top of the ground, about 6 inches 
apart, at the spot where they are to be planted. Better effects are ob- 
tained where at least 6 bulbs of a variety are planted together. A trowel 
digs out a hole 6 inches deep in which the bulb is set and the hole 
filled in with earth. Spring-flowering bulbs 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. Spread a 
good fertilizer on the surface of the ground after the bulbs have been 
set, using 5 pounds to each 100 square feet. It is not at all necessary 
to take Tulip bulbs out of the ground each year. Plant them 8 inches 
deep and never move them.
