should be planted. 



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 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. 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 

 beautiful flowers in about six weeks.
