HOLLAND OR FALL BULBS 



These we have in stock in September and Oc- 

 tober. They are mostly importeed from Holland 

 and arrive in this country during September. Oc- 

 tober is the best month to plant them and they 

 will give you beautiful flowers in April and May. 

 When other flowers are scarce and so much more 

 they will be appreciated. Orders can be sent in 

 during the spring and summer and will be filled as 

 soon as bulbs are received. 



CULTURE. Fall bulbs can be planted outdoors 

 till ground freezes up. Select a sunny place of 

 rich mellow soil, where water will not stand. 

 Plant Hyacinth and Tulip bulbs from 5 to 6 

 inches apart and from 4 to 5 inches deep. They 

 can be left in the bed for 2 to 3 years or taken 

 up every summer after tops have died. Cover 

 with manure or leaves after ground freezes up. 



Narcissus ought to be planted 10 to 12 inches 

 apart and 6 inches deep ; they can be planted in 

 any place and be left in the ground as they in- 

 crease in beauty every year. 



HOUSE CULTURE. Use the largest bulbs for 

 this purpose, the 4 or 5 in. pot are large enough. 

 Use good rich mellow sandy soil, set bulb deep 

 enough to cover with dirt, give a good soaking 

 and set pot in a cool dark place for 4 to 6 weeks, 

 so bulbs can make jsl good root growth, water oc- 

 casionally if dry. When brought into the win- 

 dow they should be kept near the light, but not 

 in full sunshine for any length of time. A cool 

 temperature suits bulbs best.
