HOW TO HANDLE BULBS WHEN THROUGH BLOOMING 
Spring flowering bulbs can be left in the ground after blooming provided they are in an isolated place where 
they can remain dry throughout the summer, but in most gardens the space is too limited to warrant this as con¬ 
tinuation of bloom is desired. If this is the case, it is advisable to lift up the bulbs carefully after they are through 
bloom, preferably a few weeks later, and transplant them close together in any convenient corner of the garden; give 
them one good watering and let them remain until the foliage has died down completely, at which time the bulbs 
will be fully ripened and can be dug up and stored away in shallow trays in a cool, airy place until the proper time 
to set them out again. Never cut off the foliage when green as this will weaken the bulbs and often prevent them 
from blooming. If bulbs are left in the ground after the blooming season, where other plants are growing, they may 
rot or fail to bloom the following season as they will not have the proper rest. 
PREPARED BULB FIBRE 
This material is very popular for growing bulbs in, and is especially adapted for use in the home, being clean 
and odorless. 
It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of plants. 
Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted in the same way as if soil were used. 
A special feature of this material is that Bulbs can be grown in it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other receptacles 
without drainage. After watering, the jardinieres or dishes should be turned on side to allow any surplus water to 
drain off. 
The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted in soil. 
Fibre comes moist (postage additional): 1 lb., 15c; 2 lbs., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 25 lbs., $2.25. 
NON-WARRANTY 
Most of the failures with seeds and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as unfavorable 
weather, too deep or too shallow planting, slugs, etc.; therefore, Hallawell Seed Co. gives no warranty, express or 
implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, etc., they send out, 
and will be in no way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these terms they are 
to be returned at once.
