LATE FLOWERING or SHOW 

 TULIPS. 



This magnificent class of Tulips is suitable 

 only for outdoor cultivation. They come into 

 bloom after the earlier Tulips have done and 

 thereby greatly prolong the season of these 

 handsome flowers until late in May. They are 

 much taller than the other sorts and are posi- 

 tively gorgeous in color and marking, creating 

 a wonderfully effective and brilliant display.

flowering and should be used largely in all bed- parrot tulip.

LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



One of the earliest and most popular of Spring flow- 

 ers, neat, dwarf and compact, flowers attractive and 

 bright in color. The Crocus is admirable for planting 

 in clumps in the grass of the lawn or in borders; also 

 fine for edging. They should be planted as early as 

 possible and placed two or three inches apart and three 

 inches deep. They are so cheap that they should be 

 used plentifully about the place, in odd corners, wood- 

 land walks and shady nooks, where they will be charm- 

 ingly effective. They maybe bloomed in pots with the 

 greatest ease, in the manner directed for Hyacinths. 



If to be sent by mail add 15c. per 100 for postage.

Convallaria majalis. 



One of the sweetest and 

 most charming of all 

 plants. Delicate, bell- 

 shaped, pure white, de- 

 liciously fragrant flow- 

 ers, borne in gracefully 

 drooping racemes early 

 in the Spring. Prefers 

 rich, deep soil and partial 

 shade. It can be readily 

 forced and is well adapt- 

 ed to pot culture. For 

 this purpose use only the 

 buds or pips putting 

 them in well drained pots 

 with a layer of moss at 

 the bottom and filling 

 the pots with a sandy soil in which some moss is mixed 

 to retain moisture. Cover the pips about half an inch 

 and set the pots away in a dark, warm room for a 

 couple of weeks watering occasionally with lukewarm 

 water to keep the soil moist. Then bring to the light 

 and keep in a warm moist place. By thus bringing 

 them in at intervals a succession of bloom may be se- 

 cured. Autumn is the best season in which to plant in 

 open ground
