Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulbs and Plants for Fall Planting, 1920 The length of the flower-stem is indicated by figures; the time of blooming by letters (e. Early; L, late), so that you can select varieties of the same height and time of blooming. Culture Outdoors. Any good garden soil, prepared by spading to a depth of 12 inches, is suita ble. Plant the bulbs 5 inches apart and about 4 inches deep. The soil must be equally placed over the bulbs, so they will come up at the same time. Firm the earth well about the bulbs and mulch the beds during the winter. Culture in Pots. Place six to eight bulbs in a 6-inch pot; set in a cool, dark place for a period of six to eight weeks. If you have a number of pots, take them from the dark room at intervals, so they bloom at different times.
