SPRING PLANTED BULBS AND TUBERS 
Spring Planted Bulbs and Tubers include Cannas, Dahlias and Gladiolus, 
and they cannot be treated as other bulbs as frost is fatal to the tubers. Dig 
them up in the Fall before the ground freezes and after they have been thor- 
oughly dried and cleaned, store them where they will not dry out in a cool 
cellar in shallow boxes. Plant them in Spring as soon as danger of frost 
has passed. 
Cannas should be planted about 2 
plenty of water during Summer. 
Dahlias should be planted not closer than 18 inches apart and 6 inches 
deep, laid flat, eyes and sprouts up. 
Gladiolus. Plant Gladiolus 2 to 4 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, 
in rich soil in a sunny place. 
Lilies. The most desirable soil for Lilies is a loose, sandy loam which will 
be enriched by top dressing of manure and should be well drained. Plant 
Lilies in groups about 6 inches deep and 8 to 12 inches apart. Never allow 
manure to come into direct contact with the root bulbs. They may be left 
in the ground from year to year. 
feet apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Give 

HOW TO PLANT CANNAS 
Prepare a bed 18 inches deep. If soil is stony or of poor quality, remove old 
soil and replace with a mixture of three-quarters rich garden loam and one- 
qui arter Sphagnum Peat Moss. Plant the bulbs 18 inches apart each way and 
3 to 4 inches deep about May Ist to 15th. However, the bulbs may be planted 
in pots about the Ist of April and then transplanted outdoors in May about 
Tomato planting time. In planting in pots divide the rootstocks so there will 
be one or two healthy buds. Cannas need plenty of water during the Summer. 
A 2-inch mulch i Sphagnum Peat Moss will help conserve moisture during 
the . hot test months.

NUMBER OF PLANTS FOR AN OVAL BED 
Assuming that the bed is a perfect oval, add the breadth and length of the bed and 
divide by 2. This result is exactly the same as though the bed is round and the above 
table for round beds should then be used. 
Example: An oval bed is 9 x 7 feet. 
Add 9+7=16, divide by 2=8 
Use the table for a round bed 8 feet in diameter,
