A Few Suggestions 
for Growing 
Daffodils 
They will thrive in any 
well drained garden soil. 
Prepare the soil deeply, 12 
inches or more is best. I’lant 
at least G inches deep, extra 
large bulbs are better plant¬ 
ed 7 or 8 inches deep. (Some 
varieties make larger bulbs 
than others.) No manure 
should come in contact with 
the bulb. If the soil needs 
fertility, use bone meal at 
the rate of one-fifth pound 
to the squai'e yard. This 
should be thoroughly mixed 
with the soil under the bulb. 
A mulch of straw or leaves 
will be beneficial in very 
severe climates. If the mulch 
is applied after the first 
freeze, it will prevent thaw¬ 
ing and heaving.
