Tulips 
TULIP CULTURE 
Tulips should be planted during October 
or early November in most parts of the 
country. In the south best results are obtained 
by placing the bulbs in the home refrigerator, 
food storage compartment (not freezing) for 
6 weeks and planting them early in De. 
cember. 
Good drainage is essential and a sunny 
location is best, though tulips will bloom in 
partial shade. It has been recommended to 
plant bulbs about 5 in. deep, but it is be- 
coming more popular to plant about 9 or 10 
in. deep. The bulbs will not split so much 
and for this reason better blooms will be 
produced for several years. 
Prepare the soil about 6 in. below the 
bulbs using bone meal as fertilzer. While 
moles rarely molest the bulbs if planted 
this deep, mixing benzine hexychloride in the 
soil around the bulbs is a good precaution. 
Our tulip prices are all for the extra large 
(12 cm. and up) bulbs. They will give you 
wonderful blooms. 
EARLY FLOWERING TULIPS 
These early tulips come in single and 
double, and are about 8 or 10 inches high. 
They are fine for border planting, and for 
pots, or window boxes, and are also used 
for rock gardens. The doubles are very 
showy, and resemble very double roses.
