3 QUEEN OF THE PINKS INNOCENCE
Our bulbs are grown in Holland and shipped to us directly
from our grower. We offer only top size bulbs and varieties
which have proven as the best in their class for color, form TULIP PLANTING

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.
