DATED BULBS FOR NATURALIZING 
Due to the ever increasing interest in and demand for 
Naturalizing bulbs, we have selected these listed below, all 
of which are especially suited for this purpose; that is, 
planting in clumps, under trees, and in the grass where 
they will thrive year after year with no need for cultivation. 
For the most effective plantings we strongly advise only 
one variety per drift rather than a mixture which tends 
to produce a ragged appearance. However a succession of 
blooms may be obtained by noting the number (approximate 
week of bloom) in front of the varieties listed below. Thus, 
starting with Trumpet Major on Winter’s fringe and ending 
with Albus Plenus in Tulip time you may have twelve 
weeks of continuous bloom. 
We will gladly send you a beautiful and balanced collec 
tion of our choice to see you through the season; 12 BULBS 
EACH OF 15 OF THE VARIETIES LISTED BELOW FOR 
$12.00, or 5 BULBS EACH OF 15 VARIETIES FOR $7.50, or 
you may order from the list @ 5 bulbs for .50, 12 bulbs for 
$1.00

Planting Instructions for Daffodils 
The main requirement for success is a well drained 
soil. They are not happy where water will stand a day or 
two after rains. Any good garden soil is ideal. Cow manure 
mixed in the soil, at, or preferably before, planting time 
will produce blooms and bulbs of unbelievable size. Bone 
meal is the, only safe substitute to use at planting time. 
A top dressing of stable manure during the winter months 
is always helpful, also serving as a mulch. Wait at least 
a month after bulbs are planted before applying the top 
dressing, this allows the root system to develop. The roots 
are active all winter taking in and storing up nourish- 
ment. In the Northern States, plant deep enough so the 
neck of the bulb is covered by 4 or 5 inches of earth after 
the ground has settled. In the Middle Atlantic States 3 
or 4 inches is desirable; while in the Southern. States 2 or 
3 inches is sufficient. For large blooms, bulbs should be 
dug, divided and replanted every 2 to 4 years, otherwise 
they become overcrowded. For show flowers, select a 
sheltered well protected spot. This is especially important 
with some of the new highly rated red cups.
