During Winter and Spring 



In addition to the bulbs listed on these two pages there are quite a number of hardy varieties 

 which also may be grown indoors during the winter months. Bulbs of Colchicum or Meadow 

 Saffron purchased early in the fall may be placed in a saucer where they will bloom without any 

 water being added. After flowering they may be planted outdoors. The Fall-Flowering Crocus, 

 Speciosus and Zonatus, also are splendid for indoor culture in a cool room. The two Iris listed 

 on page 21 also may be grown cool indoors for spring blooming. 



The Blue Roman 

 Hyacinth 

 Virginia 



This newer Hyacinth is splendid for in- 

 door growing in the house. It resembles 

 the popular early White French-Roman 

 Hyacinths but the individual bells are 

 considerably larger. They are a lovely rich 

 deep blue color. The individual flower 

 spikes also are much stronger and some- 

 what taller. Like the White French- 

 Roman kind it produces several flower 

 spikes per bulb. It may be grown for 

 blooming in the house for Christmas or 

 any time thereafter. A cool temperature 

 is essential to its success.

Early White French-Roman Hyacinths 



Early White French - 

 Roman Hyacinths 



These are more tender than the Dutch 

 Hyacinths and are not suited to outdoor 

 planting in the North. Their greatest 

 value is for growing in the house during 

 the winter time. Anyone who has avail- 

 able a cool room will succeed with them as 

 they are easy to grow. The loosely 

 formed, dehcately perfumed flower spikes 

 will give a wonderful display from Novem- 

 ber until April if succession plantings are 

 made a week to 10 days apart. They may 

 be grown in either soil or bulb fiber. Each 

 bulb produces several showy flower spikes.

Paper -White 

 Narcissus 



Every flower lover needs these lovely

Nerine sarniensis 



Guernsey Lily

 winter months. They produce beautiful

 which in the sunlight appears as if sprinkled 

 with gold dust. Distinctly one of the best 

 winter flowering bulbs requiring a cool, 

 well-lighted room. In mild climates they 

 may be grown outdoors. Supply plenti- 

 fully with water until after flowering. The 

 foliage develops after the bulbs have

 variety has created a sensation with its 

 large rich golden yellow flowers which 

 will keep for an exceptionally long time 

 after cutting. It is a splendid pot plant 

 for growing indoors during the winter 

 months, carrying large, cup-shaped, 

 golden flowers in clusters arranged on a 

 strong stem. Must be grown cool. 3 

 for 60c; 12 for $2.00; 100 for $14.00.

 same splendid characteristics as the 

 preceding variety, though they are 

 larger and grow somewhat taller. Grown 

 in a cool, well-lighted position they will 

 bloom from April until July. The color 

 of the flowers shades from rich orange- 

 red to bright yellow. 3 for 60c; 12 for
