Holland Bulbs. 
Cheer for 
Early Spring time. 
j. 10 one can wisely overlook the merit of the early Spring flowering bulbous plants such 
|\| as the Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocuses, Snowdrops, etc., etc. By their use 
' we can lend beauty and cheer to our gardens for the weeks before most sorts of 
vegetation awake from their winter sleep. Hardly has King Frost released his grip on 
the ground, when the Snowdrop and Crocus appear in all their dainty beauty, soon 
followed by the Tulip, Hyacinth and Narcissus, and the garden where these bulbs are 
freely used has no dull time in early spring, but can be rich in its own beautiful coloring. 
Planting time. The bulbs should be planted in October and November so as to get 
well rooted before cold weather. Plant from one to four inches below the surface 
according to size of bulb. 
Tor forcing Tndoors. Bulbs should be planted in pots, pans or boxes, and plunged 
in or covered with several inches of soil in open ground until earth begins to freeze, 
then place in cool greenhouse, cellar or room where the temperature is low. They 
should be watered enough to keep the earth from getting dry Bulbs so treated can be 
brought into the light at any time after Christmas and before Easter and they will 
quickly come into bloom.
