Tila: Again fo Say ; 
When the war cut off shipments of Holland bulbs, it eliminated our only

shade.

“Cultural Instructions, BULBS” 
GENERAL: Dig deeply, adding peat or compost. Manure, if used, should be thoroughly 
rotted and placed well below bulbs or added as mulch after planting. Do not cut foliage 
until bulbs are completely ripened.

TULIPS. See page 6. 
DUTCH IRIS: Plant October-December. Leave 5 or 6 blades of foliage when cutting blooms. 
Bulbs may be divided each year or left in soil. 
RANUNCULUS AND ANEMONES: Soak bulbs for one hour before planting. Plant from 
October to December in well-drained soil. Keep moderately moist while new growth is start- 
ing. Plant with sharp prongs down: concave surface is the top. 
FREESIAS, TRITONIAS, BABIANAS, SPARAXIS, AND BABY GLADIOLI: Plant as early 
as bulbs can be obtained, in light, well-drained soil in full sun. Keep soil moderately moist. 
Bulbs may be left in soil or dug each year after foliage ripens.
