And How To Grow Them 
or five inches deeper than planned for plant- 
ing depth. Then fill the trench with clean, 
loose sand, until the level of the sand is at 
the proper planting depth below the normal 
surface of the soil. Very fine gravel or cinders 
will do in place of sand, but peat moss is 
forbidden. 
Proper planting depth is four to five times 
the diameter of the bulb, unless your soil is 
heavy. In that case, four times the diameter 
is about right. And, while you are at it, you 
might as well provide another important 
factor: fertility. After digging the trench, add 
a layer of good fertilizing material, such as 
well-rotted stable manure. Next, on top of 
the fertilizer, add a layer of sand, or other 
separating material, and then set your bulbs 
on top of the sand. 
The old reliable stable manure is one of the 
best of fertilizers, but do not place it next to 
the bulbs. Plant as above outlined, when 
stable manure or other animal fertilizers are 
used. Spread it about two inches deep. 
In any event, do not use fresh stable manure, 
as it will generate heat, which will severely 
damage the bulbs, in spite of a separating 
layer of sand. Let’s emphasize this again: do 
not use fresh manure in the trench.
