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 

 require a moderately rich soil. For best results, 

 apply Loma, Vigoro, Sheep Manure or Bone-Meal. 

 How far apart and how deep to plant the different 

 bulbs is shown in the accompanying chart. 



Indoor Culture. Plant hyacinths, tulips and 

 narcissus in a sandy soil. For forcing, bulbs should 

 be planted from September until November, the 

 earlier they are potted the better. After they are 

 potted they may be set outdoors and covered with a 

 few inches of soil until freezing weather then brought 

 into a cool cellar and watered occasionally. If not 



possible to set them outdoors tliey may be placed in 

 a cool cellar, covered with soil and watered regularly. 

 When the roots are well developed the bulbs may be 

 brought into a cool room where they will flower very 

 quickly. 



Growing Paper-White Narcissus in Water. 

 Place a dozen bulbs in a shallow bowl, cover with 

 small stones and keep fdled with water. Place a few- 

 small pieces of charcoal in the bottom of the bowl to 

 keep the water from fouling. Keep in a moderately 

 temperate room. They require no care, no attention. 

 They keep on growing and produce beautiful flowers 

 in about six weeks. Plant bulbs at two-week inter- 

 vals for a succession of blooms.
