IT’S EASY TO GROW BULBS THIS WAY! 
The simple planting chart above shows average planting depths and spacing for hardy bulbs. In 
cases when you have a light, friable soil, Tulip bulbs may be planted deeper, so that they will give more 
years of bloom before they need be divided. 
Exceptions to the depths shown in the chart should be made in the case of Lilium auratum and L. candi- 
dum, which, unlike other Lilies, should be planted only 2 to 3 inches deep. 
After blooming, bulbs should be left undisturbed until the foliage has turned yellow. It is not necessary 
to dig bulbs up after blooming. 
A good application of coarse bonemeal is beneficial when applied to soil before planting in the fall. 
Sacco Plant Food (4-12-4), when applied in the spring after bulbs have grown 2 to 3 inches, will encourage 
a stronger stem and larger, brighter flower. 
BOTONONE 
Mysterious loss of bulbs? It is most likely due to an 
underground attack of insects and harmful bacteria. 
For comprehensive protection of the entire plant, 
including roots as well as foliage, Botonone has proved 
most effective. Soak bulbs in double strength Botonone 
solution (one ounce to the gallon) for an hour before 
planting. Pt. $2.00; gal. $12.00. 
BONEMEAL, Raw 
Use when preparing soil for bulbs. 100 Ibs. $8.00.
