SAVE THIS CHART 



It shows the depths at 

 which different bulbs 

 should be planted. 



Depth to Plant 



Let this chart of the Master Gardener guide you in planting bulbs this fall. A 

 general rule, he says, is to plant them at a depth equal to twice their diameter. 



HOW TO PLANT 



OUTDOOR CULTURE— Plant the bulbs as 

 soon after September as possible to enable the 

 roots to make good growth before the cold 

 weather sets in. They can, however, be planted 

 from September until the ground becomes 

 frozen. They require a moderately rich soil, 

 or else apply Loma, Vigoro, Sheep Manure or 

 Bone Meal. How far apart and how deep to 

 plant the different bulbs is shown in the ac- 

 companying chart. When the ground freezes, 

 cover with 3 or 4 inches of leaves or dry litter. 

 Rake off after frost. 



INDOOR CULTURE— Plant hyacinths, tulips 

 and narcissus in a sandy soil. Give a good 

 soaking after planting and water once or twice 



a week during the time the bulb makes root. 

 After planting keep in a dark place in the 

 house and keep a paper bag over the pot until 

 the sprout is about three inches long. They 

 may then be brought to the light and bag 

 removed. 



GROWING PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS IN 

 WATER — Place a dozen bulbs in a shallow 

 bowl, cover with small stones and keep filled 

 with water. Place a few small pieces of char- 

 coal in the bottom of the bowl to keep the 

 water from fouling. Keep in a moderately 

 temperate room. They require no care, no at- 

 tention. They keep on growing and produce 

 a beautiful flowering plant in about six weeks.
