PUTTING BULBS IN GROUND
Should Be Given Ample Time to De.
velop Their Roots Before Severe
Cold Weather Sets In.

Bulbs should be put into the ground
as soon as they can be procured from
the dealer.
The impression prevails to a large
extent that bulbs can be planted any
time during the fall That is. that
It is safe to put them out any time be-
fore the ground freezes.
This Is a mistake, which grows out
OF a lack OF knowledge Of the plants
habits. A bulb makes an annual
growth OF roots during the fall. These
are the roots which support II next
spring, while II is blooming. Unless
this root-growth Is completed In the
fall, It will give crop OF inferior
flowers, as the incomplete work Of
autumn Will be taken up where It was
interrupted by cold weather, and car
rled on TO completion while the plant
is trying to produce a crop OF flowers.
This makes It attempt to do double
duty on a slender stock of vitality.
Late-planted bulbs, therefore, nearly
always give us inferior flowers. and of.
ten none at all.
This explains why It is advisable to
plant bulbs as early In fall as possible.
Give them ample time to develop
their roots before cold weather puts
an end to the work OF the season. II
you want them to give you fine flowers
next spring.
