HOLLAND OR FALL BULBS 



These we have in stock in September and October. They arc mostly imported from Holland and 

 arrive in this countrj' during September. October 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 spring and summer and will be filled as soon as bulbs are re- 

 ceived. At prices quoted bulbs are sent by mail, prepaid. 



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 

 r> 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 

 Hp every ,';iininier after t(>i)s have (lied. Cover with' manure or jeaves after ground freezes up. 



Narcissus ought to be planted 10 to 12 inches apart and 5 inches deep; they can be planted in 

 any place and be left in the ground as they increase in beauty every year. 



Scilla and Crocus, plant about 3 inches apart and also that deep. Crocus do well planted in the 

 grass. 



House Culture. Use the largest bulbs for this purpose, the 4 or 5 inch pots 



are large enough. Use good rich mellow sandy soil, set bulb deep enough to cover with dirt, give a 

 good soaking and set pots in a cool dark place for i to 6 weeks, so bulbs can make a good 

 root growth, water occasionally if dry. When brought into the window they should be kept near the 

 liprht. but not in full sunshine for any length of time. A cool temperature suits bulbs best.
