Garden Time

1t is now time TO make plans
for planting and to make SCIcc-
tons OF spring Towering bulbs.
They may be planted any time in
September. October or November.
There are many kinds to choose
from including tulips, daffodils.
crocuS. hyacinthS and Dutch iris.
OF these, there are many varieties
and q vide range of colorS to suit
the fancy of any individual gard
crcr. BY selecting your varieties
you may extend the blooming sea-
son ever period of several weeks.
That is especially true OF daffodilS.
In sandy or loose soils bulbs
may be planted a little deeper
than in tight clay soils. DaffodilS
(narcisSD should be planted six to
seven inches deep in sandy loan.
tulips and Dutch iris about five
inches deep, hyacinthS about five
10 SIX inches and crocuS about two
inches. Any good garden fertilizer
may be used. 1t should be put into
the soil where the bulbs are 10 be
planted but must not come into
contact with the bulbs
There are many different types
of narciSSi-Commonly called daft
fodilS or jonquilS. Some have small
flat flowers. other have very large
flowers with large yellow or white
trumpctS. Be sure to plant some
of the Golden Harvest" variety.
II is one of the best of the early
mammoth yellowS. "BcerShcba"
and "Roxanne' are popular large
whites, and Twink" is a good
double lowered variety.
The Darwin type of tulip is
probably the best for the average
gardener because of its long stems
and wide range of colors. How
ever. some Of the other types give
excellent results for the person
who wants something different.
Dutch iris should be planted in
September or early October. The
leaves will come out before winter
sets in but this is natural so do
not be alarmed. They will with
stand our winters with very little
damage.
