That bulbs can be successfully
grown in Seward has been demon
, strated by E. E. Chamberlin, at his
I ranch in the northern part of town.
I Last fall Mr. Chamberlin received a
I
shipment of bulbs from Holland,
which lie set out as soon as received.
The shipment comprised 125 each of
Japanese, Siberian and German Iris,
400 tulips, 125 dafodils, 125 crocus,
and 40 peony roots. The bulbs were
received late, and were plated in soil
; frozen two inches deep at the time.
They wintered excellently and not a
bulb was lost. The tulips will be
in bloom some time this month, and
the others later in the year.
Mr. Chamberlin states that his
planting was in the nature of an ex
