POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS (Bunch Flowered). 
The Polyanthus Narcissus are general favorites for indoor culture, succeeding equally 
well planted in soil or in water. They can readily be brought into bloom in six weeks from 
the time of planting. 
For water culture all that is necessary is to place the bulbs in a bowl with a few 
pebbles to support them, or better use a small quantity of prepared fibre instead of the 
pebbles. Set the bowl in a light window at once. 
The same treatment may be followed for pot culture in soil. 
Paper White Grandiflora—Particularly adapted for pot or water culture indoors. The flow- 
ers are pure white, and are produced freely in large trusses, requiring very little atten- 
tion. The flowers last a long time and are very fragrant. Extra Selected Bulbs. Each 
6c; doz., 60c; 100, $4.00. 
Grand Soleil d’or—Rich golden yellow, grows well in water or fibre. Extra large bulbs. 
Each 15c; doz., $1.50. 
FIBRE FOR GROWING BULBS IN BOWLS, ETC. 
The bulbs should be surrounded by the fibre in non-porous dishes and kept wet. 
Price per packet, enough for a 6 inch bowl, 15c; for 9 inch bowl, 25c by mail. 
DUTCH HYACINTHS. 
Ready for shipment in September. 
Pot Culture—For winter blooming in the house use rich sandy loam, 
planting one bulb in a 5-inch pot, three bulbs in a 6-inch pot, six bulbs 
in an 8-inch pot or pan, water thoroughly and put away in a cool, dark 
place until well rooted, and bring into the light after an inch or more of 
top growth has been made. 
Grown in Fibre—Treat as recommended for pot culture. 
Grown in Glasses—Place the bulb in the glass so it just touches the water, 
and keep in the dark until the roots reach the bottom, and an inch or more of 
top growth made. Single varieties are best for water. 
Outdoor Culture—Plant in moderately rich soil, placing the bulbs 4 inches 
deep and 5 to 6 inches apart, and cover with litter during winter.
