In this short space we cannot give complete cultural instructions for all the 
different kinds of bulbs, but there are a few basic facts. which is understood, 
will enable any one to have success—most of the time. We will be glad to send 
a booklet on growing bulbs if you ask for it with your order. 
SOIL. Nothing fancy is needed, just good garden soil reasonably 
well supplied with plant food. We always add Vigoro or similar 
fertilizer before spading up the ground, which should be prepared 
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 moisture 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 bulbs if you go easy on the foliage. The 
plant needs its green leaves to feed the bulb for next year. Re- 
member! 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.
