 Holland, selected with scrupulous care with 

 the desire to offer our friends the very best

Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, 

 using ordinary garden soil, any time from 

 September to February. Plant about two 

 inches deep. "Water thoroughly and put away 

 in a dark, cool place until signs of growth 

 commence, then bring into the light and heat. 

 For holiday blooming, pot early in September, 

 and for a succession of bloom, plant at in- 

 tervals of about two weeks. To grow in 

 water, place the bulbs in glasses and fill with 

 clean water; leave them in a dark, cool cellar 

 until the glass is well filled with roots, then 

 bring to the light. 



Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny 

 location. Ordinary garden soil, enriched with 

 well-rotted stable manure, spaded to a depth 

 of 12 inches, will suffice. Plant the bulbs 5 

 inches deep and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out 

 any time from September until severe freez- 

 ing weather. While not required, it is better 

 to give winter protection. Large exhibition- 

 size bulbs, 15 ots. eacb, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 

 per 100, postage paid.

Philadelphia, Penna., Aug. 4, 1912. 

 Dear Sirs: — I am in receipt of the Roses you sent me by mail, and am pleased to say that they 

 arrived in fine order, looking fresh and strong. I write to say that your generosity is greatly 

 appreciated and that I shall take pleasure in recommending "The Dingee & Conard Co." as one 

 with whom it is both safe and pleasant to do business with. 



Yours very truly, GEORGE L. BISHOP.
