Planting and Cultivating a BULB GARDEN 
If the bed selected is not thor- 
oughly 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 bulb 
fertilizer. Never mix in manure just 
before 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 compost mulch. 
The beds should be given a soak- 
ing irrigation every two weeks for 
medium heavy soil and every week 
for sandy soil, unless of course rains 
supplement watering. If bulbs have 
been left in the ground from the 
previous season, put on a thick ma- 
SOIL LEVEL in nortHERN STATES, OR HEAVY SOILS, REDUCE DEPTHS INSICATED BY ONE-QUARTER.
