RENNIFS SUPERB BULBS 



HYACINTH— LADY DERBY 



To succeed with bulbs it is necessary to begin right, by getting sound bulbs of 

 good size, and we would warn intending purchasers against buying cheap, under- 

 sized bulbs and expect the fine results obtained from such as we offer. Our sources 

 of supply are the best in this country and abroad, the leading growers of the world 

 having for years supplied us with their choicest stock. 



To the lover of flowers there is no class of plants so much prized as those which 

 are produced from bulbs. The reason is easily found, because within the bulbs are 

 stored all the future glory of leaves and flowers, only requiring the simplest culture 

 to develop them in their highest perfection. Success is, therefore, the rule. 



A FEW CULTURAL HINTS 



WHEN TO PLANT. — To the beginner we would emphasize the fact that 

 Autumn and not Spri.vgtime is the time to plant ail kinds of spring-flowering bulbs. 

 The larger part of the bulbs offered in our Catalogue are ready to ship by the second 

 week in September, and the sooner they are planted after that the greater will be 

 the measure of success, more particularly those for indoor culture; therefore 

 ORDER EARLY, A few sorts, which are noted in the Catalogue, do not mature 

 until October and November, and are forwarded as soon as ready.

 they lengtlicn the season of bloom of the regular early flowering

MINIATURE HYACINTHS 



ALSO CALLED "DUTCH ROMANS" 



These little Hyacinths are excellent for growing in pots, pans 

 or bo.xes; they bloom very freely; offcn producing 3 or 4 spikes. 

 They are equally desirable for culture out-doors; they should be 

 planted closer together than the " Dutch Hyacinths." Culture is 

 the same as recommended for the Roman Hyacinths, and they 

 come into bloom after the Roman Hyacinths are exhausted.
