PICARDY 
We pay all postage and warrant the safe arrival of 
the bulbs. When received, plant them five inches deep 
in a sunny bed of rich, porous garden soil and mulch 
the bed with well decayed stable litter; this will pro¬ 
mote a vigorous growth and bloom and keep the soil 
moist during a moderate drouth. Cultivate often, espe¬ 
cially after each rain. Choose yours.
