Double Tulip. 



should be rather dry, and if planted in the 

 open ground, it will be well to have the 

 spot a little higher than the bed or border. 

 French Ranunculus, 25c. per dozen. 



Tulips. Double. and single Tulips thrive 

 better in a more Northern latitude than this, 

 but some years they flower well here, and 

 as they are cheap, a few flowering bulbs 

 will pay the small amount they cost. They 

 should not be planted later than December, 

 and placed very shallow in the ground; not 



more than one-third of the bulb should be 

 covered. When near flowering they require 

 a good deal of moisture.- Single and double

 house bulbs at the North, but here they are 

 hardy, and do well in the open ground- 

 There are two- varieties— the blue and the 

 white. They throw up a shoot, on the end 

 of which the flowers appear, forming a 

 truss. Plant from October til! January; 2C- 

 cents each. 



Lilium Auratuni. 



Tuberoses. Double Flowering. They 

 are ornamental for the garden, and very 

 valuable for making bouquets, on account 

 of their pure white color and great fra- 

 grance. Plant during the spring months. 

 Strong bulbs, 5c. each; 50c. per dozen.
