FLOWERING 
BULBS 
For Fall Planting 
They are not only certain to bloom abundantly, but are the easiest cared for of all flowers The bulbs 
can be potted any time from September to the middle of December, though the earlier the better. For 
the proper depth of planting and distance apart, follow the chart shown above. After planting, water 
well and place the pots or boxes in a cool, dark cellar, or similar place for four or five weeks. This treat- 
ment is to develope a strong growth of roots, which is very necessary to secure vigorous flower stalks, 
during this period; if the soil shows signs of dryness, it should be watered, when the shoots begin to show 
signs of life, bring into a light, sunny window, water frequently and give plenty of fresh air. Only moder- 
ate heat is required, avoid a high and close temperature.
