PLANTING
Tuf p And NdrCissuS Bulbs
For Next Spring

Washington, D. c., Sept. 4-If you
would have rich beds of tulips or give
the beds or the corners of your lawns
beautiful spring-like yellow or white
glow of narcissus, daffodil and jonquil,
you must begin to think of the early
spring appearance of your garden in
the fall, for the bulbs of these two
flowers must be planted in the fall
before the ground is frozen. In fact,
this work should be undertaken as
soon as or before an early frost has
begun to make the annual flowers in
| the beds look weakened. In dealing
with narcissus, which is the family to
which the daffodil and jonquil belong
it might be well to think of trying to
naturalize the narcissus to grow and
blossum on the lawn much as do the
wild flowers. How to plant and handle
the bulbs as well as the best method
of getting them to become spring resi-
dents of grassy corners, are described
in the following directions issued by
the bulb specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
These bulbs should be planted in
light, rich soil that has been dug to
a depth of at least 10 inches. The
tulip bulbs should be set 5 inches
apart and inches deep and the mar
cissus bulbs about 10 inches apart
and 5 inches deep.
If they are to be grown in pots or
window boxes, light, rich soil should
be used. Place l to inches of Gin
ders or broken pots in the bottoms
of the pots or boxes to insure good
drainage. After planting, place the
pots or boxes out of doors and cover
them with about inches of ashes or
sand; or they may be placed in
dark, cool room or cellar for few
weeks until the bulbs have formed
quantity of roots. They may then be
brought into the light and heat for
towering. Keep the soil well moist
ened from time of planting, but avoid
overmoistening, for if kept too wet
the bulbs will decay.
Lifting and Dividing
Tulip and narcissus plants are per-
ennial, and if given proper care and
grown under suitable soil and climatic
conditions will increase and multiply
from year to year. The bulbs may
remain in the ground two or three
years, or until the clumps begin to
crowd. After blossoming in the spring,
from six to eight weeks should elapse
to allow the foliage to die partially
down, when the bulbs may be lifted
with a spade or fork. Shake the soil
from the roots and store the bulbs in
cool, shady place where they will
ripen and cure. When the old leaves
and roots are thoroughly dry they may
be easily rubbed off and the clusters of
bulbs divided. The bulbs may then
be planted in the same manner as the
original bulbs. In this way the stock
may be increased in few years.
