How to Plant 
bio Bs and TUBERS 
SPRING FLOWERING BULBS are planted in fall. 
It is best to plant as soon as the bulbs arrive at the nur- 
sery, usually from late September or October 1, de- 
pending on the variety. They may be safely planted up 
into December, but late planting is less satisfactory. 
Give bulbs a place in which sun is available at least 
part of the day. They prefer a rich well-spaded soil in 
which a quantity of bone meal has been well worked in. 
During the growing season and flowering, give them 
plenty of water. After blooming allow to grow on nat- 
urally until the leaves brown at the tips, at which time 
bulbs may be removed. This growing builds up buds 
for the next year. Bulbs can be left in the ground if 
desired, in which event cut off the tops after leaves 
start browning. 
Depth of planting, unless too shallow, is not critical. 
Usually bulbs may be set deeper in sandy soil than indi- 
cated, and possibly shallower in heavy soil. Give plenty 
of water to all bulbs. Lilies need drainage, especially 
it soil is heavy. Ranunculus and Anemones can take 
plenty of water after growth starts.
