It is the general custom to plant
tulips in geometrical carpet beds, with
the colors arranged in patterns, but the
most artistic planting is in c1umps in
the mixed borders or at the edge Of the
shrubbery clumps against the founda-
tions. All one kind of blubs, but in as
sorted colors should be used in each
clumps but the clumps can be agree
ably varied, as they cannot be in formal
beds. Some of the large single late
varieties, especially the scarlet, are
very desirable and the Jarrol and double
varieties make effective groups. Bulb
plants are easily cultivated indoors,
especially if one has cool basement or
storeroom in which to root them. They
may be planted as late as January.
To obtain satisfactory results the
bulbs must be started from six weeks
to two months before the time desired
for blooming. In this work rich soil
is needed; one made of well-rotted sod
or rich garden soil with one-fourth to
one-half its bulk of decomposed stable
manure and a little sand will give good
growth. " - --.' NJ - 49, ., " ''"
The pots should be of good size. If
several bulbs are desired in one pot,
larger sizes must be used. The shallow
bulb pot or pan, much wider than deep,
is largely used for tulips. The narcis-
sus, crocus, freesia and Roman hyacinth
make a better showing of flowers if
planted closely, from two to four inches
apart, according to sizes, in boxes or
earthen pans. The hyacinth is the larg-
, est Of the bulbs, and should be given
more space-a single bulb in a four-inch
pot, three bulbs in fve-inch pot, five
in a six-inch pot, or in other words,
there should be about three inches be-
tween every two bulbs. -.
Perfect drainage must be provided,
as bulbs require an abundance of wa
