We’ve spared no pains 
to maintain the standard of our stock so that our customer can get from us the best to be obtained anywhere. 
Time to Plant—All Bulbs, whether for house culture 
and Winter bloom or for bedding out in the open ground, 
should be planted as early as convenient, from Septem- 
ber to January—the earlier the better. 
To have beautiful flowers in the early Spring you 
must plant bulbs in the Fall. Most of the bulbs in 
this catalog are ready to ship by the middle of Septem- 
ber, therefore, order early—you will find it is to your 
advantage. 
After Potting—Water thoroughly and set away in a 
cool, dark place two or three weeks to rest, and give 
the roots time to start; then take to the living room 
window or wherever they are to remain. One great 
secret of success with growing bulbs indoors is to have 
the root growth thoroughly established before the bulbs 
are brought to the light. Bulbs do not require much 
heat, an upstairs room suits them nicely. Water only | 
when the surface soil looks dry, but do not allow them 
to get dry at the bottom. They will soon begin to grow 
and bloom and then their lovely flowers and delightful 
fragrance will surprise and delight all who see them.

Bulbs for the House or Conservatory—Can be grown 
nicely in pots or boxes if care is taken to firm the earth 
well down on the roots, and provide good drainage at 
the bottom. Small bulbs can be set quite close together, 
sometimes several in one pot; larger ones need room 
in proportion to their size. Do not plant too deep; one 
inch is about right for house culture, but large buJbs in 
open ground should go 2to 3 inches deep according to 
size. Diagram below shows proper depth and distance 
apart to plant bulbs of different sizes. 
Soil Required—Any good soil that is suitable for other 
flowers will grow fine bulbs. Old well-rotted manure 
is the best fertilizer, but when this cannot be had, we 
can send you ‘‘ BONORA ”’ the improved Plant Food 
(a highly concentrated fertilizer, specially prepared 
for plants and flowers), by mail or express, at any 
time desired. See circular in this book. 
Treatment after Blooming—When pot bulbs are done 
blooming they can be set away in any cool, dry place 
and left a few weeks to mature, after which they may 
be shaken out of the soil and stored away until time 
to plant again in the Fall. They may not make as 
fine flowers the second season as the first, but will 
usually do quite well for two or three years. Bulbs 
in open ground, when done blooming and well ma- 
tured, may be lifted and dried off, and then treated 
exactly like those from pots.
