HOW TO GROW TULIPS 
Outdoors: Tulips do well in any good garden soil and can be planted 
anytime in the Autumn: before the ground is closed by frost. Plant 
4 to 5 in. deep and 5 to 6 in. apart each way. 
Pot Culture: Plant the bulbs as early as possible, as upon the slow 
growth of the flower bud depends the success of the forcing. Plant 
b bulbs to a 6 in. pot in any good friable soil, allowing the tips of 
the bulbs to show above the soil. Water and place in a cold frame 
or heel-in in the garden covering the pots with ashes or soil and 
allow eight to ten weeks to force root development. Bring pots 
indoors as required and set in a cool, dark cellar. Never allow the 
@ Yo gy ‘ bulbs to dry out. When an inch or more of top growth is made bring 
ay a ; up to the light of a cool window, and subject them to gentle forcing. 
Never in a dry, warm atmosphere at the start.
