CARRARA and hardiness.

In bordering a bed it is recommended that they be staggered 6 to 8 inches apart.

To enhance a flower border, groups of 6 to 12 tulips of one variety are very effective.

A large bed is best planted in triangu- lar wedges of 25 to 100 bulbs each, arranged so that they make a continu- ous pattern.

Plant bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep and if soil is heavy, the addition of some sand and bonemeal will help the growth and bloom ability of the bulbs.
