Imported TULIPS 
HOW TO PLANT TULIPS AND HYACINTHS: Bulbs should be bought when 
they are first available (ours come in September and October) and subjected 
to a pre-cooling period in the refrigerator in a temperature of 40 to 45 
degrees for a period of 4 to 8 weeks prior to planting. Do not plant in the 
open before December Ist. The size of the bulb has a definite bearing on 
the size of the flower that will be produced. With most varieties, bulbs 114 
inches in diameter will make the best showing the first year. Prepare the 
soil thoroughly by spading it deeply and enriching it with bonemeal or Peat 
Moss fortified with Vigoro, the complete plant food. Do not use a location 
used for Tulips the year before. Tulips and hyacinths are really northern 
bulbs and lie dormant during extreme cold weather. This coldness is actually 
beneficial to the bulb and that’s why we urge you to pre-cool them before 
planting. Bulbs which have not thus been pre-cooled and planted late will 
usually not produce the best resuts.
