A Few Suggestions for Growing 
Daffodils 
They will thrive in any well drained garden 
soil. Prepare the soil deeply, 12 inches or more 
is best. Plant at least 6 inches deep, extra large 
bulbs are better planted 7 or 8 inches deep. 
(Some varieties make larger bulbs than others.) 
No manure should come in contact with the 
bulb. If the soil needs fertility, use bone meal 
at the rate of one-fifth pound to the square 
yard. This should be thoroughly mixed with 
the soil under the bulb. 
A mulch of straw or leaves will be beneficial 
in very severe climates. If the mulch is applied 
after the first freeze, it will prevent thawing 
and heaving.
