RANUNCULUS 
In none of the bulbs is there greater difference in quality of the different 
strains. We believe that exacting selection and expert growing has made these 
Tecolote Giants the best stra n on the market. If given a decent chance the 
flowers will be of the largest size, fully double and the stems tall and strong.

Last year I ordered and re-

The anemones bring a profusion of 
color and brightness to the garden

can be planted in early spring.

BULB PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
In this short space we cannot give complete cultural instruc- 
tions for all the different kinds of bulbs, but there are a few 
basic facts, which if understood, will enable any one to have suc- 
cess—most of the time. We will be glad to send a booklet on 
growing bulbs is you ask for it with your order. 
SOIL. Nothing fancy is needed, just good garden soil reason- 
ably well supplied with plant food. We always add V goro or simi- 
lar fertilizer before spading up the ground, which should be pre- 
pared deeply, 15 inches or more. Organic manures in moderation 
are good if applied at least a year in advance. 
MOISTURE. The bulbs should have ample mo’sture from the 
time they are planted until they ripen off. Water should never 
stand over the bulbs—especially important with tulips. 
CUTTING FLOWERS. Naturally you want to cut many of 
the blossoms. That is one of the main reasons for growing the 
bulbs. It does little harm to the bulb if you go easy on the foliage. 
The plant needs its green leaves to feed the bulb for next year. 
Remember! The bulbs make almost all of their new bulb growth 
between the time of flowering and the ripening of the foliage. 
SEED FORMATION. Always remove the wilted flowers or seed 
pods. If the bulb is allowed to form seed, it doesn’t work so hard 
at growing bulbs for next year. This is especially true with tulips. 
DIGGING TIME. Dig bulbs when the foliage is turning yellow 
and becoming lifeless. Do not wait until it is dry and dead. Never 
expose the bulbs to bright sunshine but take them immediately to 
a cool place out of the sun and wind.
