| Where to Plant 
| Daffodils « Crocus 
It is wise to order your bulbs early, 
when there is the widest selection 
from which to choose your favorite 
varieties and colors. 
When the bulbs arrive, open the 
bags so air can circulate around them; 
or put in open baskets or boxes and 
keep in a cool place. Daffodils should 
be planted as early as possible; other 
bulbs from October 15 until frost 
hardens the ground. 
Easy to Plant, Easy to Grow 
Imported Holland Bulbs require no 
special soil, and will flower beautifully 
even in a new home garden. 
The best way to prepare the ground 
for beds or borders is to take out the 
top 5 or 6 in. of soil, loosen the soil 
below, and level off. Set your bulbs in 
place according to varieties and cover 
with the top soil which was removed. 
Where this 1s inconvenient, loosen the 
top soil to a depth of 6 in. or more 
before digging the holes for the bulbs. 
After the blooming season has fin- 
ished, the bulbs may be lifted and 
stored for replanting the next fall, or 
they can be left in the ground and 
plants of summer flowers set in between 
them. Do not remove the bulbs until 
the foliage has dried down. 
You can always depend on Imported 
Holland Bulbs, and even a dozen in 
your garden will bring you far more 
enjoyment than a hundred undersized 
“bargain’’ bulbs.
