HOW TO GROW BULBS.... 
GENERAL: Dig soil deeply, adding peat generousiy. If manure is used it should be thoroughly 
rotted and placed below the point where bulbs are set, or added as a mulch after planting. Do 
not cut foliage until bulbs are completely ripened. 
DAFFODILS: See accompanying chart for depth. Plant from late September to December. Water 
thoroughly after planting if soil is dry. Water for a month after blooming, then allow to dry. 
Remove foliage when dry and cultivate top soil. Mulch with peat if bulbs are in full sun. Bulbs 
may be left in ground three to five years or more, or until crowded. Plant 8-12 inches apart. 


TULIPS: See chart for planting depth. Loose, well-drained soil is essential. Place handful of 
clean sand under each bulb as planted. Do not allow soil to dry out, especially after growth 
shows above soil surface. Do not plant too early. Late October to early December is best. In 
shaded gardens bulbs may remain in soil but in sunny gardens, dig bulbs as soon as foliage is 
ripe, dry carefully in shade and store in ventilated containers. Plant 6-8 inches apart. 
DUTCH IRIS: Plant 3 inches deep in any good soil. Leave 5 or 6 blades of foliage when cutting 
blooms for indoor use. Bulbs may be dug and divided each year or left in soil. Plant 6-8 in. apart.

Bulbs may be left in soil for several years or dug each year after foliage is ripened, and stored 
in dry, ventilated containers. Plant 6-8 inches apart.
