Colorful “Julie for Your Spring Garden 
Today there is greater magic than ever in Tulips and even more gorgeous and beautiful colors 
packed away in the sleek brown bulbs. To work this new magic, think of the gayest flower colors 
and the prettiest combinations you ever yearned for. 
Tulips require a period of cold while dormant and resting between shows. That means you 
must plant before freezing weather, then get your great display tn the spring—weeks of color if 
you know your Tulips and plant early and late ones, and a lot of middle-betweens. 
Where do you want Tulips in April? In May? Decide that, and we can tell you what to plant. 
For protection from moles and mice, surround bulbs with a 12-inch strip of -inch mesh 
galvanized wire, leaving 2 to 3 inches above ground.
