HULSEBOSCH' SEED & BULB COMPANY — HILLEGOM & NEW-YORK 
TOPICS ON GROWING 
1. For Forcing buy nothing but the very best quality of bulbs. 
2. Mention to our salesmen whether you need the bulbs for 
„indoor forcing", „outdoor planting" or „counter sale". 
3. Unpack bulbs immediately upon arrival and before 
planting keep same in a dry cool place for a few days. 
Avoid draught as bulbs are very sensitive. 
4. Do not use soil in which bulbs have been grown before 
or soil on which the used bulbs of previous years have 
been left to decay. All the vitality in this soil has dis¬ 
appeared and our experience has often shown the most 
disastrous results when this soil is used for bulbs again. 
5. Avoid the use of fresh manure, also new pots or pans 
or bulb-cellars next to boiler-rooms. When bulbs are 
planted in flats be certain to have sufficient drainage. 
6. Do not take bulbs inside for forcing unless they are 
well rooted and the buds far enough advanced. 
7. Avoid the watering of bulbs towards the evening and 
keep a steady temperature as much as possible. 
0. Take care of good ventilation in bulb-cellars and in 
the greenhouses.
