PLANT ROEDING’S QUALITY MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 
>t Buy Top-Size Bulbs 
for the BEST Results 
Don't be confused by offers of “blooming size”’ 
bulbs at ‘bargain prices.’ It takes two dozen 
small bulbs planted 6 inches apart to approach 
the effect of only a dozen top-size bulbs planted 
1 foot apart. Large bulbs cannot be crowded, 
They grow naturally into large bushy plants 
with more and larger flowers. Twelve years’ 
experience planting bulbs in our Bulb Gardens 
at Niles have shown that we save money by 
planting the best.

earlier than their larger cousins, beginning in

HOW T0 SUCCEED WITH 
ANEMONES and RANUNCULUS 
Rainy winters impress the necessity for 
good drainage in beds planted to anem- 
ones and ranunculus. They will not grow 
in soil saturated from heavy rainfall, but 
{will reward us with countless flowers if we 
are careful in planting. Raise the soil level 
_in beds devoted to these flowers so that 
when planted the bulbs will be above the 
surface level of surrounding terrain. Soak 
bulbs for one hour before planting; plant 
Oct.-Dec. at depth of 2 to 3 inches, with 
small “prongs” down.
