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 moistnre. Single and double 

 50c. per dozen.

 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 till January; 20 

 cents each.

 Tuberoses. Double Flowering. They 

 are ornamental for the gerden, and very

 grance. Plant during the spring months. 

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