 flowers can be obtained. For early flowers they can be started in 

 February or March, in the greenhouse or hot-bed ; and for a succession 

 they can be planted at intervals as late as August. For flowering in 

 the open borders, they can be planted about the first of May ; they will 

 then bloom in September. We grow upwards of 50,000 of these roots, 

 and are in a position to supply the finest bulbs.
