ICHOLSON’S DAFFODILS. 
FOR AUTUMN PLANTING 
are ef 
The arrival of Spring is truly heralded by daffodil blooms. They thrive in any well-drained, loamy soil, to which compost and bone 
meal should be added every year. Fresh manure should never be used. Plant in early Fall, especially Poeticus types. The more vigorous, 
larger varieties may be planted as late as December, but better results come from earlier plantings. The average covering of soil for most 
sorts is three to four inches from the top of the bulb. Set them at a uniform depth, otherwise they may flower irregularly. Daffodils planted 
in clusters in the foreground of shrubbery or plamted in woodlands so as to naturalize with the surroundings, will increase in beauty and 
number without special care and become permanently established. ALL BULB PRICES ARE POSTPAID.
