TTREESIAS ARE EASY TO GROW 
and everyone should have several pots 
of these deliciously fragrant flowers whose 
scent will spread through the house. 
Our bulbs are dug late, are thoroughly 
ripened, and should not be planted before 
late September or early October. 
Plant them close together in good pot¬ 
ting soil, water well, and store the pots 
outside until real cold weather "'hen they 
should be placed in a sunny window or 
the conservatory. Light feedings of S. & 
W. Bulb Fertilizer will greatly increase 
the size of the flowers and enrich their 
colors.
