Cultural Notes on Daffodils 
New bulbs are rarely ready before late September. Plant as 
early as possible for best results, although late planting is satis- 
factory. All varieties are hardy; in northern climates a mulch 
is assurance against freezing. 
Plant bulbs so that tip is covered 3 to 4 inches. Use Bone 
Meal or Superphosphate, avoid all manures when planting, and 
top dress the plantings in early March with commercial fertilizer. 
For long stems water the beds copiously whenever possible. 
For naturalizing effects plant bulbs irregularly. Cast the bulbs 
and plant in the position that they have fallen.
