DEPTH AT WHICH BULBS SHOULD 
BE PLANTED 
Many of our customers are frequently 
puzzled to know the proper depth and dis¬ 
tance apart at which bulbs should be planted. 
The accompanying diagram conveys the in¬ 
formation much more clearly and briefly than 
we could describe it. The chart will bear 
careful study. Outdoor planting should be 
done early in the fall to secure healthy plants, 
vigorous foliage and beautiful flowers.
