Plant Tulips and Daffodils this 
fall for a blaze of beautiful 
color in your garden next spring. 
Your spring garden is not complete without 
the radiant beauty of these gloriously colored 
spring flowers, with their rich clear colors, that 
add a bold brilliance to your landscape. 
They make a wonderful display when massed 
in large beds, and beautiful color patches are 
provided when planted in clumps of a dozen or 
more bulbs here and there along the border of 
shrubbery and among perennials or in the rock 
garden, and a bizarre effect not surpassed by any 
other flower may be had by planting Tulips in 
mixed colors. 
Tulips and Daffodils or Narcissus will grow 
and bloom to perfection in any good garden soil 
that has been thoroughly loosened by deep spad¬ 
ing. But for the very largest and finest blooms 
it will be best to enrich the soil with some kind 
of fertilizer. Steamed bone meal is an ideal fer¬ 
tilizer for bulbs. Apply about two double hand¬ 
fuls to the square yard and if possible, mix with 
the soil a good supply of leaf mold or old rotted 
manure. 
In regions where the ground freezes some kind 
of mulch should be provided. Right after the 
first heavy frosts or before winter sets in, cover 
the ground with 2 or 3 inches of leaves or straw 
or any other light cover to prevent the ground 
from alternate thawing and freezing which is 
injurious to bulbs. 
In the spring after danger of hard frosts are 
over, remove this cover carefully so as not to 
break the tops or leaves of the new growth. 
Plant 4 to 6 inches deep by 5 to 8 inches apart 
each way. . 
Note —• Daffodils or Narcissi and the Lilies 
should be planted in September or early October 
for best blooming results next spring. 
Tulips are best planted in late October or 
November for best blooms in spring. Tulips if 
planted too early may make a top growth this 
fall, which if frozen will check the growth and 
consequently the stems will be shorter and the 
blooms smaller.
