RIGHT IN YOUR OWN HOME . . . 
IN SCHLING’S PREPARED BULB FIBER 
And no need of ugly pots, either! Use a bowl 
of your favorite color blending with the furnish¬ 
ing scheme of the room. This will lend an addi¬ 
tional charm to your plant—you will enjoy it 
so much more. 
Our Bulb Fiber is a complete substitute for 
soil scientifically prepared for use in receptacles 
without drainage. It is clean and odorless; no 
saucers necessary; no fear of staining the wood¬ 
work or table coverings. This Fiber is cleverly 
impregnated with plant-food in such a manner 
that it becomes available gradually but con¬ 
tinually, as required by the plant to assure 
steady and vigorous growth. 
Prices of Schling’s Prepared Bulb Fiber: 
Qt. 25c., y 2 peck 75c., peck $1.35, bus. $5.00 
Directions for Using Bulb Fiber —Wet the 
Fiber thoroughly until it has absorbed all the 
water it can hold. This is best done in a pail or 
pan. Then squeeze out nearly all the water and 
it will be just right for planting. Fill the bowl 
three-fourths full, or to within a few inches of 
the top, according to the size of the bulb. Press 
down gently (never pack it down), set bulbs at 
the proper distance, and fill up with Fiber. Press 
it gently around the bulbs but don’t pack it down. 
All bulbs except Freesias, Callas, and Lilies- 
of-the-Valley should be kept in a dark place to 
develop roots before sprouting. Hyacinths, 
Daffodils, and Tulips require from four to six Paperwhite Narcissus 
weeks; Paper-white and Soleil d’Or Narcissi and 
Chinese Lilies from two to three weeks. By bringing in a few bowls at intervals and making 
additional plantings one may enjoy blooming plants all through the winter months.
