HOW MANY BULBS TO ORDER 
FOR BEDS OF A SPECIFIC SIZE 
Below we give the number of bulbs needed to plant a circu- 
lar bed of dimensions as stated. Plant outside rows first, and 
place three inches from edge of bed. 
Diameter 6 in. 8 in. | 12 in. | Diameter = 6 in. 8 in. 12 in.

To arrive at the number of bulbs required for an oval bed, add 
the length and breadth and divide by two using the result as the 
diameter in above table. A bed 6 feet wide by 8 feet long will 
require the same number of bulbs as a round bed 7 feet in dia- 
meter. (6 + 8 = 14; divided by 2 gives 7.) 
Should we be sold out of the varieties ordered, may we 
substitute similar or better ones (at no extra cost to you)?
