Finely ground bone meal is the only safe fertilizer for bulbs 
and should be used freely. Apply a liberal application to the 
soil and mix it in thoroughly before planting the bulbs. Bone 
meal is slow to disintegrate, therefore long lasting; a won- 
derful invigorator, produces healthy growth, larger and 
better flowers. No danger of causing rot or burning.
