TEK/l-iTS. 



Our Terms are strictly Cash with the Order. 



As we are compelled to advance the money for this class of goods, and as our profits on them 

 are very small, we must request our friends to ask no indulgence from us in the way of^time, but 

 enclose draft with the order. 



Remittances may be made by P. 0. Order, Draft on Neic York, or by Registered Litter, the two 

 former being safest. 



Any person may make a selection rf Bulbs at Catalogue Pri':e\ and we will send them by Mail, 

 POST PAID, or by Exjjress, charges p::i2 paid, ivhichever way is the cheapest for us. Th's rule applies 

 hoiceier only to those who remit at Catalogue .^.utes. and only to Bulbs, and Seeds by the pound and 

 under. Grass Seeds and Clover, Wire Work, Hyacinth Giases and the larger Plants, must be sent 

 by Freight or Express, at the expense of the purchaser. Wiiere any discount is alloned, the party 

 ordering pays the Express charges. We must decline to fill orders c. o. D , as the cost of coilectin-g 

 return charges is quite an unnecessary item of expense, and the prices being given in our Caialcgue, 

 ive can conceive of no necessity to warrant goods being so sent. 



TO djUBS.— We make the following discounts on Bulbs from Catalogue Prices, to parties 

 who may desire to form a club— the purchaser in all cases paying Express charges: 

 10 per cent. Discount on all i^urchases of from $10 to $15.

 imder five dozen, at regular Catalogue Prices. 



j^° Om- customers will please bear in mind that we do not pre-pay the charges on our Hya- 

 cinth Glasses, nor guarantee their safe arrival; we will pack them carefully in boxes, charging 

 nothing for packages, and deliver to the Express Company, when our responsibihty ceases. We 

 cannot send Gkisses by Mail. 



HYACINTHS. 



At the head of our list we place the Hyacinth, the most universally admired of all bulbous 

 roots, not only for its perfect and chaste flower, but for its delicate and fragrant perfume. 

 Out-Door Cvilture.— The culture is very simple, and if a 



little care be taken in mak- 

 ing the beds and setting the 



bulbs, a failure is almost im- 



possib'-e. The ground should 



consist of sandy loam and 



thoroughh' decomposed cow 



or horse manure, to which 



may be added, with much 



benefit, where it can be ob- 

 tained, a quantitj' of leaf 



mould. Avoid a stiff, clayey, 



or cold, wet soil, and see 



that the beds have proper 



drainage. 



After forming the beds of 



proper dimensions, set the 



bulbs six inches apart, and 

 four deep; the proper time for planting is in October or November. Before very severe weather 

 comes on, it is necessarj- to cover the beds with straw, leaves or manure, to protect them from the 

 severe cold during Winter. This covering can be removed in March, and the result is certain. In 

 the arrangement of colors, each person maj^ be supposed to have a choice of his own, but if the 

 beds be small, a separate color in each will be found to produce a pleasing effect; if large, a row 

 or two of white all aroimd the bed, then a row of red, another of rose, another of yellow, and the 

 center of blue, will produce a good combination of colors. They should commence flowering the 

 last of March, and if both early and late bulbs are used, a constant succession of bloom will be kept 

 up for a long period. As soon as the flowers fade and the leaves die away, the bulb should be 

 lifted and allowed to remain a week or two until perfectly diy, and after removing the decayed 

 stems and leaves, will be ready to pack awasy for Autumn use. 



Pot Culture, in House.— To grow them in pots, in the house, during the Winter, the bulb 

 should be firmly pressed down in the soil un& it is nearly covered, when it should be thoroughly 



DOUBLE.
