GARDENING. 



Jan. 75, 



Bulbs, poor success with. J. S , Prince- 

 ville, 111., writes: "I bought quite a num- 

 ber of bulbs from a seed firm last spring 

 and planted them, but not one ever came 

 up. Does Fuller's book treat on bulbs? 

 I want to get a book on them." .4ns. 

 No, Fuller's works are on trees and fruits. 

 It is .\llen's book that treats on bulbs; 

 you can get it from the publisher of Gar- 

 dening, at the Chicago oflfice. But if you 

 tell us what bulbs you want to get we 

 can give you the straight truth about 

 them and how to grow them as well as 

 any book published. 



You PUBLISH a most excellent journal, 

 which it is both a pleasure and a benefit 

 to read. 0. Clute,
