Hints on Growing Daffodils 
Like all other bulbs, narcissi-daffodils repay us for giving 
them the proper care by producing more and better flowers 
Start with good bulbs; this almost guarantees flowers for the 
first year. See that the soil is well prepared. This means deep 
digging and plenty of plant food, especially phosphates and 
potash. Early planting is advisable. September is the best 
month for most parts of the country. Cover the tops of the 
bulbs about 4 inches, and in cold climates mulch well after 
the ground has frozen. It is a mistake to leave the bulbs too 
many years without resetting them. They become crowded and 
fail to bloom. About every third year, dig the bulbs when the 
tops have ripened. Store in a cool, airy place and reset in the 
fall. Never move the bulbs before or during blooming time as 
it will injure their growth very severely.

Growing Tulips 
Tulips are not difficult to grow in most parts of the country 
but observance of the following points will help you to produce 
better blooms and bulbs: Deep preparation of the soil, good 
drainage, an ample supply of plant food, plenty of water from 
planting time until the bulbs are ripe. In poor soils the addi- 
tion of peat moss and a complete plant food will be of great 
benefit. Cover the bulbs about 4 inches and in the very cold 
climates mulch well after the ground has frozen. Lift the 
bulbs each year when the leaves have turned yellow and store 
in a dry place out of the sun and wind. 
In warmer parts of the country such as southern California 
late planting is necessary. December first is early enough. 
Unless you have a cool place for the bulbs it is better to order 
early but let us keep them until planting time.
