SPRINGTIME IN DECEMBER 
HAVE FLOWERS IN BLOOM DURING THE LONG WINTER 
All gardeners plan to have flowers 
continuously from April to Octo¬ 
ber; bulbs, perennials, annuals, 
shrubs, or what-not. ALWAYS 
flowers in bloom. 
It is just as easy, perhaps easier, 
for you to have flowers in your 
home from November through 
March by using our Bulb Fiber and 
making plantings of flowering bulbs 
every few weeks. There is a sur¬ 
prising variety of bulbs that do well 
indoors. And, with Bulb Fiber to 
take the place of soil, your success 
is assured. It contains complete 
plant food that becomes available 
as needed for steady growth. 
Deep, ugly, planting pots aren’t 
necessary, and forget about sauc¬ 
ers, too, as no drainage is needed. 
Use your favorite decorative bowl. 
AMARYLLIS 
Schling’s Bulb Fiber is clean and 
odorless. Simply wet it in a pail or 
pan until it absorbs all the water 
it will hold. Then, squeeze out 
nearly all of the water and fill the 
bowl three-fourths full of the moist 
Fiber, or to within several inches 
of top (according to size of bulb). 
Press down gently (do not pack 
tightly), set bulbs and fill up with 
fiber. Again press gently but do 
not pack.

To assure continuous bloom through¬ 
out the winter, plant every three 
weeks. These bulbs are kept dormant 
on ice and must be planted as soon as 
thawed out. Therefore, order only 
sufficient for each planting, as you 
cannot keep the bulbs.
