PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Bulbs are easy to grow. Children love them and should be en- 
couraged to have their own beds. 
Plant in well drained soil. Bulbs feel at home in any well-drain- 
ed soil, and will flower beautifully even in a new home garden. 
Plant before frost hardens the ground. The period usually ex- 
tends from October 1 to the middle of November. 
Plant at the right depth. 
Tulips and Daffodils—Plant 7” deep, 6” apart. 
Crocus, Grape Hyacinth, Glory of the Snow, Snowdrops— 
Plant 3” deep, 3” apart. 
Scilla—Plant 5” deep, 3” apart. 
Bulbs can be grown anyplace. There is a place in every garden 
for imported Holland bulbs, whether they be in groups, borders or 
mass plantings. 
In winter cover the surface. In districts where the soil is bound 
to freeze up, bulb should be covered with leaves or straw immediately 
after the surface of the soil is frozen. Remove this mulch in early 
spring. 
In spring keep free from weeds. Spring flowers that grow from 
bulbs appreciate having the surface soil about them loosened from 
time to time and kept free from weeds. 
Remove flowers when petals begin to drop. When bulbs are to 
be left in the ground for flowering the next season, foliage should 
not be removed until it has dried down. 
PLANT A VARIETY OF BULBS 
Tulips alone are lovely, but an assortment of each of the follow- 
ing spring bulbs assures one of 2 to 3 months of vivid, striking color. 
Each season varies, hence the blossom dates are only approximations 
and change from year to year, as much as 6 weeks.
