PRE-COOLED NARCISSUS FOR 
CHRISTMAS FLOWERING 
These bulbs have been undergoing a cooling treatment and 
should be potted up immediately on receipt and placed in a 
cool cellar for proper root-action which is completed much 
more quickly than untreated bulbs. They should never be 
placed in heat until the bud appears in the crown. 
Order should be placed before July 10 to allow time 
for precooling. CASE LOTS ONLY

DAFFODILS FOR NATURALIZING 
There is no more enchanting picture in spring than a natural 
planting of Daffodils, so arranged in groups that the in¬ 
dividuality of each species may be maintained. An irregular 
massing should be made where the grouping is dense in the 
center with a thinning out toward the edges like a summer 
cloud. 
We have made most satisfactory arrangements with an 
extensive grower of Narcissus in the northwestern area of the 
State of Washington, a section renowned for growing sturdy 
Daffodils, to supply us with a quantity of bulbs of certain 
varieties that are most adaptable for naturalizing purposes. 
Practically any soil has been found suitable but when 
planted under trees and in woodlands, the leaves of the trees 
should not be removed, as taking away this natural food will 
not only injure your trees but also will prevent the Daffodils 
from producing as they should. 
Plant 8 inches deep but avoid places where water may 
collect as they like drainage. 
Plant them before October 15 or shortly thereafter. Place 
your order early as the demand is increasing for these bulbs at 
this special low price.

Planting Table for Beds of Bulbs 
A circular bed 6 feet in diameter, with bulbs 6 inches apart, 
requires 110 bulbs; 5 inches, apart, requires 160 bulbs; 4 inches 
apart, 300 bulbs. 
Depth at Which Bulbs Should Be Planted 
Many of our customers are frequently puzzled to know the 
proper depth and distance apart at which bulbs should be planted. 
The accompanying diagram conveys the information 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.
