FARQUHAR'S BULBS FOR NATURALIZATION. 



In Rock Gardens, Woodlands, Wild Gardens, Shrubberies, Etc. 



THE increasing practice of planting bulbs extensively in the Rock Garden, Woodlands, Wild Garden and among Grass produces an effect 

 which is nearer to nature than any other style of gardening. 



Daffodils, Snowdrops, Crocuses, Scillas, Chionodoxas, etc., growing amid such surroundings have a charm that is not to be found in the 

 more conventional beds and borders of the cultivated garden. The following bulbous plants are especially suitable for natural plantations and 

 when once planted hold their own and increase with little or no further care. Varieties preceded by a * are particularly adapted to the Rock Garden. 

 A full description of the following varieties will be found in the body of the catalogue.

CULTURE OF HYACINTHS. 



Hyacinths in Pots. It is important in the pot culture of the Hyacinth to have rich, light soU — if possible, a compost of one-third de- 

 cayed turf, one-third old, rotten cow mamu-e, and the remainder equal parts of sharp sand and leaf-mould. This compost should be rnade 

 a few weeks before being used. If the bulbs are to be potted singly, pots five inches in diameter are the proper size, and the special Hyacinth 

 pots which are about two inches deeper than ordinary pots, are preferable. For drainage, cover the hole in the pot with a piece of broken 

 pot, and over this place a layer of moss. Break off any offsets which appear at the base of the bulbs, and in potting jjlace each bulb so that its 

 top shall be half an inch below the surface of the soil and an inch below the rim of the pot. The soil should be of usual natural moisture, 

 and should be pressed moderately firm. The filled pots may be placed in a cold frame where there is protection from frost, and well watered. 

 An excellent plan is to place them on a bed of moist, sifted coal ashes, covering the pots to a depth of six inches with the same material. When 

 well rooted, which will be in about six weeks, the bulbs may be brought indoors and forced. For the first two or three weeks they should be 

 kept in a temperature not exceeding 50 degrees. Success in forcing depends much on their having strong roots before being brought to the 

 light. The top grows rapidly, and unless the roots are started much in advance they are unable to nourish the plant, and failure results. _ Hyacinths 

 for early use may be potted in September or October; late planting is not advisable, as the bulbs deteriorate; when desired for late use, it is better 

 to pot them in October and keep them in a cold frame above freezing until it is desired to force them into bloom. 



To obtain dwarf foliage and fine flower spikes. Hyacinths when being forced should have planty of manure-water, fresh air, and should be 

 kept very near the glass. The blooms last much longer if shaded from the sun. 



FARQUHAR'S SELECTED NAMED BEDDING AND FORCING HYACINTHS. 



// by Parcel Post add postage at zone rates; weight per doz., 2 lbs. 



This highly decorative class of Hyacinths is of unsurpassed excellence for producing fine color effects in public parks and private grounds. 

 Being of distinct and decided shades, of almost uniform height, and blooming at the same time, they admit of the most artistic grouping. They 

 are also very desirable for forcing singly in pots or grouped in bulb pans.

These are well developed, sound flowering bulbs, superior in size and strength to the Mixed Hyacinths usually offered. They are 



specially adapted for groups in borders and informal beds, where they will give a brilliant display of very handsome flowers and on account of their 



low price are also extensively forced for winter-blooming and cutting. Care is exercised to include only sorts which bloom at the same time and 

 are of nearly uniform height.
