Tulip bulbs increase by splitting; daffodil bulbs increase by sending out
offshoots. The big growers, such as arboretums with those magnificent tulip
displays, dig those bulbs up after bloom and discard them. Each year they
plant newly purchased bulbs. I don't know how the Dutch propogate tulips for
sale.
