BU LBS are among the grandest of all our garden flowers and must always be planted in the Fall. 
All flower lovers want buibs. No other flowers are so easy to grow and sure to bloom. 
Our lovely Easter Lilies, Freesias, White Narsissus, Hyacinths, Sacred 
Lilies, Giant Cyclamen, &e. 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 splendid 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 n> 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 open ground should 
be planted as early as convenient, from September to January—the earlier the better. 
SOIL REGUIRED.—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 our 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. 
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 proportion 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. 
AFTER POTTING.—WWater 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. Bulbs do not require much heat— 
an upstairs room suits them nicely. Water only when the suface 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. 
TREATMENT AFTER BLOOMING.—When pot bulbs are done blooming they can be set away in any cool, dry place 
and leit 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 matured, may be lifted and dried off, and then treated exactly like those 
from pots.
