THIS ILLUSTRATION IS COPIED FROM " POPULAR GARDENING. 



Whether grown in pots or boxes in the house during Win- 

 ter, or planted in the open ground for early Spring bloom, no 

 class of flowering plants are easier to grow and surer to bloom 

 than those produced from bulbs ; the simplest culture being 

 rewarde i by vigorous growth and abundant and lovely flow- 

 ers. The great majority of bulbs and roots we offer at this 

 season, planted in the open ground, are entirely hardy any- 

 where in the United States, and if desired can be left undis- 

 turbed; they will then become naturalized and require no 

 more attention than so much grass, and will increase in size 

 and beauty each year. Nearly all the varieties offered can 

 be grown and flowered in pots or boxes in the house during 

 the Winter months, and for this purpose no flowers can be 

 more accommodating. Whether indoors or out, the quality 

 of soil necessary is not at all important; any good, ordinary 

 soil will do. If there is any choice, however, a light, loamy 

 soil, fertilized with old, thoroughly decomposed manure, is 

 best. 



Included with the description of each class are brief cul- 

 tural directions ; but, as the care, use and beauty of flowering 



plants is such an inexhaustible subject, we invariably wish for 

 more space than our Catalogues can afford. We are there- 

 fore glad to announce that the Autumn numbers of our 

 Floral Monthly, "SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS," 

 will be especially devoted to the use and culture of all the 

 different classes of bulbs suitable for Autumn planting. A 

 few of the subjects to be plainly and fully written up are : 

 Novelties and Specialties in Fall Bulbs, Hyacinths, Tulips, 

 Narcissus, Daffodils, '1 he True Easter Lily, Chinese Sacred 

 Lilies, California Bulbs, Freesias, Ixias, Oxalis, Poppy Ane- 

 mones, etc. 



Subscribers whose subscriptions expire with the Fall num- 

 bers should be careful to renew promptly, so as to get the full 

 benefit of the subject. New subscribers, to have the same, 

 should begin their subscription with the September number. 

 For premium offers, etc., see second page of cover.
