How to Fertilize Bulbs
Prof. Detjen recommends that if
the soil is fertile bulbs may need
no fertilizing except a little nitrog-
en- applied in the spring. In poor
er soil commercial fertilizer, such
as 5-10-5, may be worked into the
soil before planting, using about a
pound for each 25 square feet. Be-
cause animal manure or other or
ganic fertilizer applied at the time
of planting causes some bulbs to
rot, it is safer to work it in the
ground some months in advance,
Most of the hardy bulbs can be left
in the ground until they become
crowded, when they should be lift
ed and separated. Tulip bulbs will
benefit by frequent lifting and re-
setting, especially when growing in
the heavier soils.

PLANT BULBS
NOW FOR SPRING
Bulbs Should Be Planted AS
Early AS Possible in Fall
While Soil Is Warm
SAVES DISAPPOINTMENT

Spring-fowering bulbs should go
into the ground as early as possible
in the fall and while the soil is still
warm, reminds Prof. L. D. Detjen,
of the University of Delaware's
horticulture department. Planting
too late is a common mistake,
causing much disappointment and
misunderstanding in the spring.
The right time for planting bulbs
differs with the locality, says Prof.
Detjen. The very early Towering
kinds should be planted in late
August or early September so they
can establish fully-developed root
system before the soil is frozen.
Later blooming bulbs can be plant
ed somewhat later but while the
soil is still warm. Daffodils should
go underground in the period from
September to November. Tulips
can go in as late as mid-December.
Ordinarily in Delaware mulching
of bulbs is not necessary, but
where winters are severe and the
ground freezes deep bulbs need the
protection of mulch of hay, straw
or leaves, applied after the ground
is frozen, and removed when the
first growth appears above ground
in the spring. Before planting, the
soil should be dug and thoroughly
pulverized foot deep at least, and
deeper if the ground beneath is
hard and poorly drained. Depth
for planting depends on the size of
the bulb and the type of soil. Plant
ing should be deeper in light than
in heavy soil. In average garden
loan, rough guide is to plant at
a depth that is two or three times
the diameter of the bulb. The
depth is always measured from the
soil surface to the top of the bulb.
Crocus and snowdrops may be
planted about inches deep, bulb

15kx12-feet. Easements on two
sides give it cross ventilation. A
large wardrobe closet, equipped
with sliding doors, is built into
one interior wall.
Adjoining is a 12x12-foot bed
room which also has cross ven
tilation and generous closet space
The third bedroom is at the front
of the house and measures 11lsxe
feet.
The bathroom is arranged con-
veniently close to all three bed
rooms. To give daylight, ventila-
ton and privacy the architect
used a small easement fianked by
narrow strips of glass block. The
block brings in plenty of daylight
even when the window is COM
pletely shaded. Another advan-
tage is the blocks resistance to
the moisture and condensation
prevalent in every bathroom.
Exterior treatment of the house
is naturally finished redwood.
This type of siding is durable and
economical to maintain because
it requires no paint. Brick, stone
or shingle could be substituted
as desired. The plan is so YER
satile that these and many. other
notifications can be made to suit
taste or local conditions.

ACCIDENTS CAN
BE PREVENTED
According to Safety Councnl
Nearly All Home Accidents
Can Be Prevented
MAKE YOUR HOME SAFE

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, nearly all home acci-
dents can be prevented. Parents
and adults in every home have the
responsibility to see that safe con-
ditions are provided and maintain
ed and that safe practices are fol-
lowed. Mrs. William N. Cam, Vice
President for Home Safety of the
Delaware Safety Council, urges all
housewives to organize their home
against accidents. According to
Mrs. Cam, good housekeeping
means safe housekeeping because
it has been proven time and time
again that the safe home is the
orderly home. If you are prepared
to keep accidents out of your
home, you must be able to say yes
to the following ten prerequisites;
1. Do you keep stairways and
floors free of articles, such as toys,
brooms, and mops, over which per-
sons might fall?
2. Do you keep chairs and other
furniture away from walking spac-
es in rooms and halls?
8. Are closet doors and other in
side doors kept closed or left in
such a position that no one can run
into them?
4. Are pads or other devices pro-
vided to prevent rugs from slip
ping and causing falls?
5. Do you see that fioor-surfac-
ing material is properly applied
and well buffed to prevent slippery
spots?
6. Are grease, ice, and other slip
perry substances removed promptly
from floors, stairs, and walk
areas?
Z. Is your open fireplace fully en-
closed with tightly fitting
screen?
