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, Sheep Manure or Bone Meal. How far 

 apart and how deep to plant the different bulbs is shown in the 

 accompanying 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 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 a beautiful flowering plant in 

 about six weeks.
