1896 Bulb Catalogue 



OTTR SEED WAEEHOUSE "A," 300x120 FEET 



'HERE are no flowers which will give either the expert or the inexperienced 

 planter more pleasure and satisfaction than the Winter and Spring flowering 

 bulbs. The requisites for their culture are so simple and easily understood 

 that any one can have splendid success with them 



by following the cultural directions given herein. When 



grown indoors a succession of bloom may be had through- 

 out the Winter, and a home which has a window 



filled with hyacinths, tulips, lihes, narcissus, etc., 



will be made cheerful by the bright colors 



and delicate fragrance of their splendid 



flowers. Many of the bulbs when planted 



outdoors bloom very early in the Spring 



when all other plants are still in their 



Winter sleep, and, coming at such a time, 



they are doubly welcome. Hitherto some: 



bulbs were so costly as to prevent manyi 



from purchasing them, but we are now off- 1 



ering bulbs of the highest quality at prices ■■ 



within the reach of all. Tulips especially?^ 



are now so cheap that any one may have a ' 



gorgeous bed of them at a very small outlay. 



All the bulbs must be started early enough 



to form abundant root before severe freez- 

 ing weather in the Autumn. Again, all 



these bulbs are more or less injured by long 



exposure to the air and do much better if 



put into the ground early. We, therefore, our seed warehouse " b,- 85x14o feet. 



earnestly recommend all who would enjoy these beautiful flowers to make their 



selections without delay. For pot and glass culture we recommend buying named 



varieties of all sorts of bulbs, as they give better satisfaction^ Olir bulk m frOfB
