How To Grow Good // Glad$ // 
In the spring, spade your garden to a depth of at least 12 
inches, and when danger from freezing is past. Plant the bulbs in 
rows about 20 inches apart to admit free and intensive cultivation, 
and from 3 to 5 inches apart in the row, covering about 6 inches 
deep with light soil and 4 inches in heavy ground. Be sure that 
the covering soil is mellow. 
Fertilizing. If some good-rotted manure can be procured in 
the fall, give the garden a good coating and spade it under. Realiz¬ 
ing that such fertilizer is hard to obtain, we must take the next 
best choice and use the commercial fertilizers and in this we prefer 
sheep manure. After row or trench is made this fertilizer can 
be applied thickly in the bottom and mixed with the mellow earth, 
but we prefer setting the bulbs, then covering with 1 inch of earth 
and then applying the fertilizer before the row is filled. This 
allows the fertilizing properties to soak down to the roots where 
it is needed. After growth has started another application on each 
side of the row and thoroughly worked into the soil is of much 
benefit; in fact, this top-dressing can be applied several times dur¬ 
ing the growing season. Before flower spikes appear, a good top¬ 
dressing of super phosphate and potash worked in, will greatly 
benefit the flowers. Growing flowers should have a constant supply 
of moisture at all times.
