Plant Bulbs NOW... 
for SPRING AND SUMMER FLOWERS 
Many popular garden flowers come from bulbs, which require very little care once 
they are planted. They greatly enhance the spring garden, making charming accents 
or gay splashes of color according to how and where they are planted. 
Ranunculus, Anemones, Daffodils, Tulips and Hyacinths are the favorites for mass 
planting for the bright colors and gaiety of their flowers. They are most effective 
in good size beds with the bulbs set close together. Planted in beds 2 to 3 feet wide 
they are particularly effective when lining the walk or flower beds. 
Considering the ease of handling, bulbs provide the least expensive flowers for the 
home or garden. Plant them early and freely and be sure to cheer up your home and 
TULIPS 
Cultural Directions. The ideal bulb for showy mass color effect in the spring. Per- 
fectly hardy. When properly planted and cared for the bulbs will last for years. 
They require a deep, rich, well drained soil. Plant 5 or 6 inches deep. They cannot 
stand watering during the summer, and for best results they should be lifted after 
the foliage has died down. Dust with sulphur, store until October, when they should 
be replanted.

AS BULB COVER 
Startling colorful cover can 
be easily had to bulb beds 
which may appear bare for 
quite a while after planting. 
After planting the bulbs, 
rake the surface smooth and 3 
hand-cast seeds of low grow- 
ing annuals such as Virgi- 
nian Stock (very showy), 
Linaria, Alyssum, Baby 
Blue Eyes (Nemophila). All 
of these are easy to grow, 
germinate quickly and 
cause no harm to the bulbs. 3
