PREPARED BUTLB FIBRE 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs in, and is especially adapted 

 for use in the home, being clean and odorless, and as it is light in weight, can be sent 

 to a distance at small expense. 



It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of bulbous plants. 



Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted in the same 

 way as if soil were used. A special feature of this material is that bulbs can be grown 

 in it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other non porous receptacles without drainage. In 

 such cases it is necessary to put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom of each receptacle 

 to take up any impurities, and after watering, the jardinieres or dishes should be turned 

 on their side to allow any surplus water to drain cff. 



The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted in soil.
