Although there is hardly a spot in the garden where 
some type of Tulips could not be planted, we believe, 
in order to prevent unnecessary failures, or if only just 
to compare notes, we do well to give a general outline. 
It should be understood thoroughly that Tulips will 
not be happy in damp, low spots and will have a hard 
time in exposed, wind swept positions. Both conditions 
can be remedied, one by proper drainage, the other by 
screening in early Spring. 
If nothing else, most gardens, no matter how small, 
usually have a herbaceous border or foundation planting. 
The herbaceous border lends itself, better than any 
other place, for a collection of Tulips, planted in groups 
of one dozen bulbs toward the front, in combination 
with Daffodils. 
Amongst the evergreens in a foundation planting, 
Tulips may be tucked away in nooks in small quanities, 
depending upon the available space on either side of the 
Now the lusty Spring 1s seen; 
Golden yellow, gaudy blue, 
Daintily invite the view.
