2 Bulbs for Fall Planting 
Imported Dutch Bulbs 
Reports from our producer in Holland indicate that the 
bulb crop this year will be of unusually fine quality due to 
ideal growing conditions. Holland being still on the gold 
standard, American prices must continue at the comparative 
high rates necessary last year, although you will note a slight 
reduction on standard varieties all down the line. Owing to 
persisting financial unrest and inadequacy in our own coun¬ 
try, we elect to be conservative in our offerings, without undue 
advertising expense which would have to be paid for by our 
customers.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Soil Any good, thoroughly drained soil will grow bulbs well. 
If it should be in a heavy clay, it would be best to add 
sand and well-rotted manure to make it loose. The surface of 
beds should be slightly raised at center so that water will run 
off quickly, and not cause them to rot. A winter mulch of 
brush-weighted leaves is important. 
Removal of Bulbs After Flowering Tulip and 
H y a c i n th 
bulbs may be left undisturbed from year to year, but this 
course creates deterioration in size and quality of bloom. 
After the second or third year, it is better to buy fresh bulbs. 
However, they may be continued indefinitely if carefully dug 
a month after flowering, dried off, trimmed, wrapped in paper, 
and stored in a dry, cool place against the next fall’s planting 
season.

Treatment of Bulbs in Pots For early flowers, most 
bulbs should be potted 
in September; and for succession, at intervals up to December. 
4 -inch pots for Tulips, 5-inch for Hyacinths and Narcissi. An 
8 -inch pot with three to five bulbs is excellent. Use fine 
grained, rich, loamy soil. Store these filled pots in coolness 
and darkness, until (about two months) the roots are well 
developed ; then bring in to the light, and give plenty of water. 
Hyacinths 
Hyacinths are at once the bulkiest and most refined flowers 
of the spring-flowering bulbs. Severely formal in character, 
uniformed like soldiers on parade, a massed alignment in the 
border is boldly impressive; yet a single pot or glass, or one 
cut bloom is a complete bouquet, expressing perfection in col¬ 
oring and exquisiteness of perfume. Our entire Hyacinth 
supply is personally selected by one expert grower in Holland 
and could not be obtained in better quality.
