BULBS TO PLANT IN EARLY SPRING Among these are: _Tuberoses_ Plant in May, and again in June and July, in order to have a continuation of bloom of these powerfully fragrant and beautiful white flowers. _Gladiolus_ These bulbs are planted in May and June at two weeks intervals, in order to have blooms from July to October. They like rich soil, and powdered sheep manure, which is sold by the pound, is a good substitute for rotted stable manure. They like the sunny places. The bulbs of both tuberoses and gladiolus should be taken out of the ground in the Fall after the foliage becomes yellow. The stems are cut off and the bulbs dried on an airy shelf, or any place which is neither very warm nor very cold. They are set in the ground again in the Spring. Cannas and dahlias grow from fleshy roots and are planted in the Spring also. They are lifted and dried in the Fall.

If they are managed in the right way, you may have blooms from Christmas on. Do not attempt to have over a half dozen pots the first year. Bulbs may be grown indoors in pots or in prepared fibre, which may be bought of a dealer.
