Tulips will grow in almost any soil unless there is too much moisture. The bulbs should be planted about six inches apart and covered up to the depth of four inches. The best season for planting is in October. .\s a protection against severe frost, a layer of leaves about six inches deep, with a foot of stable manure added, will be effective. This covering should of course be removed early in spring. In planting, the usual underlying handful of sand will be found, as a protection against rot, as ser\iceable to Tulip bulbs as to any others.
