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 Bolgiano's 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.
