( VAN BELLE Variety is Spice of Life How true this is, especially in the spring when the bulbs that are planted poke their heads through the soil, first the small bulbs such as the Crocus, Scillas, Eranthüs and Gallanthus and then on to the Hyacinths with their distinct fragrance. This is followed by the early blooming tulips and daffodils, and then later on for a massive show of the brilliant colored Darwin tulips. Planning is half the battle, and is double the fun. First of all, find out where you need a good splash of color and what color will blend in the best or give you a striking contrast. Select the bulbs for height as well as color, then plant the shorter ones at the front and taller ones at the back so they won't be hidden, then plan the color scheme. Practically all the bulbs sold come from Holland, with a few from Ireland and Japan. The bulbs this year will be slightly lower priced than last year since the currency exchange is in our favor, but the crop this year is slightly lower in the top size bulbs since the weather has been too hot and they did not firm up as well as in other years. When buying bulbs you should buy only top size bulbs so that you will get good results for several years. Tulips are graded into several different sizes with the size called top size being the best. Daffodils are graded into what is called single noses or double nose, which means that the double nose will likely have at least two to three flowers on one bulb. The minor or smaller bulbs are graded into three different sizes, and are measured for size, so that the top size of a crocus bulb is 10 to 11 cm. Most bulbs can be planted during the month of September, September, October, and November, although one year we had a lot of tulips left over and we planted them the week before Christmas and then covered them with a layer of peat moss and they came through the winter in tip top condition with an excellent show the following following spring. I feel the best time to plant is starting now with the small bulbs going in first, to get them established before the heavy frost starts and then onto the Hyacinths, then the daffodils and then the tulips. So, the planting will be done as the bulbs flower, the early flowering ones go in first and then the later flowering ones can be left to the last. The soil where the bulbs are to be planted should be a • regular garden soil, never in a clay soil, so that the water can drain through easily and no water will stand on top. Otherwise Otherwise you will get a lot of rot in the bulbs. It's easier to dig out the area where the bulbs are to be planted, especially where you are going to plant a group of 10 or more bulbs. Then loosen up the soil at the bottom of the dug out area and sprinkle some bone meal or bulb food on the bottom. Place the bulbs with the right side up, so that you can form a nice pattern for the bulbs. It is wise to set the bulbs in firmly so the soil will not disturb them when filling in. Next week more on planting bulbs. Until then, happy gardening. 1 12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, October 6,1982 Section Two Senior Chef Cookbook Available Cookbooks designed with senior citizens in mind will be availabe by the middle of the month from Community Care.
