Selected Bulbs For Fall Planting 
HOW TO GROW BULBS 
When planting bulbs in the garden, loosen up the soil well. If it is wet or heavy, put 
a handful of sand beneath the bulb for drainage. Bonemeal mixed with the soil or put on 
the earth over the bulb will assure you of extra-fine flowers. F'or outdoor planting we 
recommend putting out bulbs in October and November. 
Hyacinths, T’ulips, Narcissus, and similar large bulbs should be plaanted from 4 to 6 
inches deep: smaller bulbs, such as Crocuses, 3 inches deep. Most bulbous flowers’ bloom in 
March and April when planted in the fall. 
There is nothing more beautiful for house-culture than a bowl of sweet-s’cented Paper- 
White Narcissus, California Freesia, or Chinese Sacred Lilies. These bulbs can be started 
indoors in pots’ or soil, pebbles, or bulb fibre. Van Antwerp’s Prepared Bulb Fibre is a 
complete substitute for soil, scientifically prepared for use in receptables without drainage. 
It is clean and odorless: no saucers necess’ary: no fear of staining the woodwork or table 
coverings. And bulbs really grow better in it than in soil, for it absorbs and holds moisture 
evenly, and on account of its’ fluffiness allows the roots to penetrate freey.
