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. 
MIRACLE-GRO 
Contains special soluble forms of vital food elements that are 
say absorbed through the leaves of living plants. Nitrogen 
5%; phosphoric acid, 30%; potash 15%. 114 Ibs. $2.25. 
KRILIUM, MONSANTO’S 
A new synthetetic organic chemical (a finely ground, grayish 
white powder) which can be mixed with the soil to improve its 
structure. A substitute for natural humus, such as manure, peat 
and compost, which is scarce in silt and clay soils of poor struc- 
ture. 2 to 5 pounds of Krilium should be well mixed with the top 
3 to 6 inches of soil per 100 square feet. 5 Ibs. $6.95. 
BOTONONE 
Mysterious loss of bulbs? It is most likely due to an under- 
ground attack of insects and harmful bacteria. For compre- 
hensive 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.
