How To Grow Them 

How does the fertilizer benefit the bulbs under such circum- 
stances? Answer: The feeder roots of the bulb go down 
through the sand, reaching the fertilizer after passing 
through the separating layer. Then it will do no damage, 
but will serve as a nourishing ration for the bulb. Really, 
we recommend this method of using fertilizer in the trench 
in any eyent, as Dutch bulbs always respond beautifully to 
this extra feeding. 
But, if you really feel that your soil is sufficiently fertile, and 
if it is well-drained, you need not bother with a foreign 
material for drainage. Simply spade your soil and work it 
thoroughly to a depth of about 12 inches, then put part of 
the soil back in the trench, set your bulbs and fill in with 
the rest of the soil.

The drawing above shows how to first dig the trench, then 
fill in the fertilizer and separating soil, set the bulb, and 
finally fill in afterwards. 
Of course, if stable manure cannot be obtained, a good slow- 
acting commercial fertilizer, mixed directly into the soil, 
can be used. Coarse bone meal ise best for fall use, three to 
five pounds per hundred square feet of soil.
