GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :-— 
1. Buy nothing but the very best quality bulbs. 
2. Unpack bulbs immediately upon arrival, and before 
planting keep in a dry cool place for a few days. Avoid 
draughts as bulbs are very sensitive to same. 
3. When growing inside, do not use soil in which bulbs 
have been grown before. 
4. Avoid the use of fresh manure, also new pots or pans. 
Be sure to provide sufficient drainage. 
5. Bone-meal is the best and safest fertilizer. Work a 
little into the soil around the bulb, but do not let it 
come into contact with the bulb. 
6. Do not cut off foliage close to ground when picking 
bloom. Leave at least two leaves, preferably more, so 
that the bulb may ripen properly. When foliage has 
“‘yellowed’’ is the proper time to remove it. 
7. Do not plant crocus, scilla, etc., where the lawn will 
be mowed in early spring.
