eos USE THE CHART-—How to Plant Bulbs 
OUTDOOR CULTURE. Plant the bulbs as soon after September as pos- 
sible, tc enable the roots to make good growth before the cold weather sets in. 
They require a moderately rich soil. For best results, apply mineralized 
Loma, Vigoro, Sheep Manure or Bone Meal. 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 out- 
doors and covered with a few inches of soil until freezing weather, then brought 
doors they may be placed in a cool cellar, covered with soil and watered regu- 
larly. 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 filled with water. 
into a cool cellar and watered occasionally. If not possible to set them out- 
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 keep on 
growing and produce beautiful flowers in about six weeks. Plant bulbs at 
two-week intervals for a succession of blooms.
