sttvk msmmmmtmf lets get growing tips provided for wise planting of tulib bulbs by marjorie mason hogue correspondent s the bright colors of the spring bulb dis plays in retail outlets are very tempting how easy it is to select bulbs by simply choosing your favorite colors here are some tips for wise bulb buying look for the necessary information on the package or box if you are choosing from a bulk bin for correct garden placement you must know the height to which the plant will grow take care this may be list- ed in cm or inches another important fac tor is the bloom time and unfortunately the information provided is not very spe cific the terms very early early midsea son and late will only allow you to plan a succession of bloom the actual blooming date depends on many factors air tem perature soil type sand warms more quickly than clay nearness to warmth of house foundation placement of garden bulbs on a sunny slope will bloom before those in a shady corner but generally these nonspecific terms mean very early late march to april early midapril to early may midseason first half of may late season latter half of may and early june some gardeners choose only early blooming bulbs so that the bulb foliage has ripened and may be removed when its time to plant annuals others have mas tered the art of combining later bloomers in the perennial border to provde early color and then their maturing foliage will be camouflaged by tall perennials bulbs can vary greatly in price new varieties or unusual bulbs are more expensive size is another factor topsize tulips are referred to as 12 these are usually sold in bulk the smaller ll12s are generally packaged and offered at a lesser price narcissus are sold as dn- 3 or single nose bulbs dn2 has two bulbs joined at the base the smaller of the two is called the daughter bulb and may only produce leaves in its first year dn1 bulbs have three or more noses and produce at least two maybe three blooms with bulbs bigger is better the best bulbs are those that feel firm and heavy in comparison to their size dont be concerned about slight nicks or imperfections in the outer skin groupings of the same variety are generally more effective than mixes larger gardens require bigger groups eg five tulips may be suitable in a small garden but a clump of 15 might be needed for effect in a bigger spaceyou
