If the bed selected is not thoroughly 
moist, it should be well soaked. Then as 
soon as it is tillable, dig the soil deeply, 
mixing in some well rotted compost, peat 
or leaf mold and some commercial buib 
fertilizer. Never mix in manure just be- 
fore planting, but rather use it as a top 
mulch after the bulbs are in the ground. 
Plant bulbs according to depth chart, 
and firm the soil around them. Level off 
the bed and apply a light manure or com- 
post mulch. 
The beds should be given a soaking irri- 
gation every two weeks for medium heavy 
soil and every week for sandy soil, unless

Planting and Cultivating a BULB GARDEN 
nure top mulch and start soaking the beds 
every two weeks beginning in September. 
Unless soil is exceptionally fertile the 
bed should be fertilized with any standard 
commercial plant food about every three 
weeks. A light application, about 1 lb. per 
25 square feet of bed, cultivated into the 
soil just before an irrigation. 
Spray your bulb garden every two 
weeks with a good insecticide and fungi- 
cide combined. Also keep the snails, sow- 
bugs and cut worms under control with a 
poison bait. 
After flowering, continue to give the 
bed the best of care. Keep it growing as 
long as you can, because the flowers for 
the next season are determined by the 
care you give your bulbs at this time.
