With The Dagta Ctatf tmtet Cftit) Spring-Dlooming Bulbs Reward Minimum Effort Mon., June 4, 1962 The Ncwj-Revi'ew, Roseburg, Ore. 11 21 Roseburg Area Students Win Oregon State Degrees Bulbs are such obliging little lawn, if you want to keep them. things Some one once said of; However, they are so cheap somei o! them "AU you do is plant them cover them, and forget them till they remind you by blooming in the spring." Needs Few Because they are so obliging, we are sometimes apt to neglect them in the few essential needs to make them do their best. Just see that they are happy in a well-drained, sunny location. Feed them after the blossoms have faded in order to have well-developed blooms for the ensuing year and protect them from their few enemies. This past winter has shown us the value of early-blooming bulbs for spring color. While the camel lias and other blooming trees and shrubs lost all, or nearly all of their flowers due to the extremely cold weather, the crocuses, daffo dils, snowdrops, etc., performed right on schedule Treat For Fly One enemy the Narcissus fam-1 and Animals ily, which includes daffodils and i mals or birds jonquils, does have is the Narcis sus fly. Napthalene flakes scatter ed on the ground around your plants will usually repel them. If this is the year you are dividing your daffodils (it should be done as soon as the clumps are too crowded and bloom diminishes) the bulbs may be replanted in soil treated with a repellant which will protect them for a couple of years. Never use animal manures around your bulbs unless it is very thoroughly decomposed and mixed with soil. Bonemeal is the best fertilizer to use, about one pound to every 20 square feet. A 4-12-4 chemical fertilizer may be applied in April or May, using three pounds to 100 square feet. Keep the sun from drying the bulbs while they are out of the ground and get them back as soon as possible. They start to make roots almost as soon as the foliage wilts and the best dividing time is short. Blooming success the fol lowing season depends much upon transplanting as soon as the foli age withers. Another enemy is the mole, or gopher, and, if you cannot catch the little fellow, choice bulbs may be planted in wire mesh baskets, sunk in the ground. Cur Bulbs The main thing to remember is to let the foliage ripen naturally, until it is dry and yellow. If you don't like the sight of the drying leaves, they may be braided and laid flat on the ground where they will be partially concealed by oth er plants. Or the whole plant may be lifted, with as much soil as possible adhering, and heeled in in an inconspicuous corner. Snowdrops will bloom in semi shade and like sandy soil. The bed can be mulched with animal manures in the fall, as can scil las. Do not cut off the tops of the crocus with the lawn-mower, it they have been naturalized in the r-'ople prefer to do this and buy- new bulbs each year. Follow these few suggestions and your bulbs will reward you with in creasing beauty through the years.
