DAFFODIL CULTURE 
Daffodils thrive in any well-drained gar- 
den soil. They should be planted about 10 
in. deep for the large bulbs, but the varieties 
which make small bulbs of course should not 
go in quite so deep. The soil should be 
prepared 6 in. below the bulbs—mix bone 
meal into the soil, but do not let any manure 
come in contact with the bulbs. 
Daffodils look best planted in groups or 
drifts, with the bulbs placed 4 to 6 in. apart. 
They should be planted in early Sept. and 
in cold climates a mulch of leaves or straw 
after the ground has frozen is a good pro- 
tection. The bulbs should be dug. and divided 
every 2 or 3 years; digging the bulbs when 
the foliage is turning yellow, and lays on the 
ground. They may be replanted at once, or 
kept in storage until fall. Do not dig them 
in the fall. 
Daffodils used for naturalizing in the grass 
or under trees need not be disturbed for 
years. 
Do not water daffodils in 
when they are dormant. 
Varieties listed here are numbered (1 to 6)
