bicolor trumpets and still very scarce. $2.00 each, $20 per dozen.

perianth with deep golden yellow trumpet. $1.70 per dozen, $12 per 100.

best-known Bicolors. $1.50 per dozen, $10 per 100.

trumpet. Not recommended for outdoor planting, but especially fine 
for forcing. $1.70 per dozen, $12 per 100. 
Bulb Planting Don’ts. It is just as important to know what not to do as it 
is to know how to do it. For instance, do not plant bulbs while the soil is too 
wet. If after digging you pick up a handful of soil and it crumbles easily through 
your fingers, well and good. If the soil forms a ball when being squeezed, it is 
too wet. Soil dug when too wet bakes and becomes hard, forming anything but 
a congenial bed for bulbs. Most planters set bulbs too deep. Read the cultural 
directions under the various chapter headings. Where planting 4 inches deep is 
suggested, bear in mind that that means 4 inches of soil measuring from the bot¬ 
tom of the trench. Too shallow planting is just as dangerous as planting too deep.
