Planting and Cultivating a 
BULB GARDEN 
If the bed selected is not thoroughly moist, it should 
be well soaked. Then as soon as it is tillable, dig the 
soil deeply, mixing in some well rotted compost, peat or 
leaf mold and some commercial bulb fertilizer. Never 
mix in manure just before planting, but rather use it as 
a top mulch after the bulbs are in the ground. 
Plant bulbs according to depth chart, and firm the 
soil around them. Level off the bed and apply a light 
manure or compost mulch. 
The beds should be given a soaking irrigation every 
two weeks for medium heavy soil and every week for 
sandy soil, unless of course rains supplement watering. 
If bulbs have been left in the ground from the previous 
season, put on a thick manure top mulch and start 
soaking beds every two weeks beginning in September. 
Unless soil is exceptionally fertile the bed should be 
fertilized with any standard commercial plant food about 
every three weeks. A light application about 1 lb. per 
25 square feet of bed, cultivated into the soil just before 
an irrigation. 
Spray your bulb garden every two weeks with a good 
insecticide and fungicide combined. Also keep the 
snails, sowbugs and cut worms under control with a 
poison bait. 
After flowering, continue to give the bed the best of 
care. Keep it growing as long as you can, because the 
flowers for the next season are determined by the care 
you give your bulbs at this time.
