PREPARED HOLLAND FIBER 



For Growing Bulbs in Vases, Bowls, Jardinieres, etc., without Drainage 



By using this Fiber instead of potting soil, when growing bulbs indoors, no drainage is required in the receptacle in which the bulbs 

 are planted. Consequently carpet, furniture, etc., will not be soiled by the Fiber or water coming through the base of the receptacle. 



This Fiber is carefully prepared for us in Holland, is clean and free from any odor, and contains sufficient plant nutrition for the bulbs 

 until they have bloomed. 



Wonderful success has been obtained by planting in this Fiber such bulbs as Dutch and Roman Hyacinths; Paper-White, Chinese and 

 other Narcissi; Tulips, Freesias, Crocuses, etc. 



Bulbs are planted in similar manner as we direct for planting bulbs in soil. It is not desirable, however, to press the Fiber too firmly, 

 otherwise the roots do not penetrate freely, and the bulbs may push themselves upward out of the Fiber. Once planted, they require but 

 little attention, only they must be kept moist, but on no account must it be sodden or too wet. The Fiber should never be permitted to 

 become dry; if so, the pores of the roots close up, and failure is likely to result. Until the bulbs have sprouted about i inch, they should 

 be kept in a dark, cool but airy cellar, room or pantry, then brought to the light, preferably where cool, but above the freezing-point. Bulb 

 Fiber can also be used advantageously for planting bulbs in pots, as the Fiber does not dry out so readily as soil.
