How to use them for 
BEST EFFECTS 
In general, bulbs require no especially fertile soil, but it should be deeply dug to 
afford good drainage. Buy good bulbs, for quality means more than quantity. Order 
early and plant early. Plant in masses. A better effect is obtained by using a hundred 
bulbs of one variety than by ten patches of ten different varieties. Choose colors 
with care, and rather than risk clashes of coloring, separate the colors by white and 
cream varieties. Lift Tulips annually, other bulbs when necessary, but do not disturb 
Scillas or Snowdrops, any more than you must. Do not use manure at planting time. 
Bone meal and well-decayed cow manure are excellent. Water indoor-grown bulbs 
regularly. 
Bulbs always appear best in masses against a background of shrubs or evergreens, 
where the brilliant colors of the bulbs stand out in all their beauty. Short-stemmed 
sorts should, of course, be planted in front of the longer-stemmed ones, with the very 
short ones at the margins of the bed.
