Xhe Conard & Jones Company, "West Grove, F»a. 



F^l If 1^ ^ ^^^ among the grandest of all our garden flowers and must always be planted in the 

 ^-^^*^ L^LJ*^ Fall. All flower lovers want bulbs. No other flowers are so easy to grow and sure 

 to bloom. Our lovely Easter Lilies, Freesias, Wliite Narcissus, Hyacintlis, Sacred Lilies Qiant 

 Cyclamen, &c., are the finest flowers there are for Winter flowering in the house and conservatory, and 

 for early Spring blooming in beds and borders in the open ground there is nothing finer than our splen- 

 did Dutch Hyacinths, Gorgeous Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Iris, Japan Lilies, &c., which are the 

 earliest to bloom as well as the sweetest and most beautiful flowers of their season, and being entirely 

 hardy they should be planted at once in the open ground, where they are to remain. They require no 

 protection, though a light covering of well rotted manure or garden litter is always desirable when 

 convenient. 



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 September to 

 January — the earlier the better. 



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 wher- 

 ever they are to remain. 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 sur- 

 prise 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, some- 

 times several in one pot : larger ones need room in propor- 

 tion to their size. Do not plant too deep : one inch is about 

 right for house culture, but large bulbs in open ground 

 should go a little deeper. 



Soil Required— Any good soil that is suitable for other How- 

 ers will grow fine bulbs. Old well rotted manure is the best 

 fertilizer, but when this cannot be had, we can send you our 

 Improved Plant Food (a highly concentrated fertilizer, 

 specially prepared for plants and flowers). Bv mail or ex- 

 press, 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 tine 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 matured, may be lifted and dried off, and then 

 treated exactly like those for pots. 



The Conard & Jones Co.'.s Hardy Bulbs for Fall Plant- 

 ing are grown and specially selected for us by the best 

 growers in Europe and can always be depended on to give 

 best results and entire satisfactio'n in every waj-— they are 

 not surpassed by any.
