Fairfax Roses — The Aristocrats of Rosedom 
BULBS FOR FALL 
PLANTING 
These can be supplied 
only during the months 
of September, October 
and November, and 
should be planted only 
at that time. 
Garden Culture. — 
Bulbs may be planted 
from September to De- 
cember, in any good, 
vrell drained garden soil, 
which has previously 
been well enriched and 
dug from 12 to 18 
inches. The beds should 
be raised several inches 
above the surrounding 
ground, to prevent lodg- 
ments of water which 
causes bulbs to rot. 
Bulbs should be set 6 
inches apart and 6 inches 
deep. Before the ground 
freezes, cover the bed 
with material, such as 
leaves, straw, pine 
branches, etc., to a depth 
of 4 inches. Do not un- 
cover too early in 
Spring. 
Hyacinths in Pots. — 
It is important in the 
pot culture of Hyacinths 
to have rich, light soil. 
If the bulbs are to be 
potted singly, 5-inch 
pots are the proper size. 
Cover the hole in the 
pot with a piece of broken pot, and over 
this place a layer of moss, which will keep 
the soil from clogging the drainage thus 
provided. Break off any offsets which ap- 
pear at the base of the bulbs, and, in 
potting, place each bulb so that its top shall 
be^ half an inch below the surface of the 
soil, and an inch below the rim of the pot. 
Use a 5-inch pot for single bulb or four in 
a 6-inch pot. Give a good watering and set 
away in a cool place, covering them with 
about 3 to 5 inches of coal ashes or sand. 
Let them remain here for eight or ten 
weeks, bringing them to the light as re- 
quired.
