Depth at 
Which 
Bulbs 
Should be 
Planted. 
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. p'or the proper depth of 
planting and distance apart, follow the chan 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 treatment is to develop 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 frequent- 
ly and give plenty of fresh air. Only moderate heat is required, avoid a hi^h and close temperature. 
Please Bear in Mind '^^'•^^ ''" Sulbs offered in this catalogue must be secured and planted in the fall, they 
cannot be supplied in the spring.
