AUTUMN EDITION, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



Dingee Superior Hyacinths 



Our Hyacinth Bulbs are the very cream of the stock grown by our specialists in Holland, 

 and are guaranteed to be large, solid, healthy bulbs, which will be sure to bloom profusely 

 for you next spring and fill your garden with a foretaste of the glory of the coming sum- 

 mer. The varieties here listed are the very best of all the long list produced in Holland, 

 selected with scrupulous care with the desire to offer our friends the very best of their 

 kind. 



Indoor Culture. Plant in pots or boxes, using ordinary garden soil, any time from Sep- 

 tember to February. Plant about two inches deep. Water thoroughly and put away in a 

 dark, cool place until signs of growth commence, then bring into the^ light and heat. For 

 holiday blooming, pot early in September, and for a succession of bloom, plant at intervals 

 of about two weeks. To grow in water, place the bulbs in glasses and fill with clean water; 

 leave them in a dark, cool cellar until the glass is well filled with roots, then bring to the 

 light. 



Open-Ground Culture. Select a warm, sunny location. Ordinary garden soil enriched 

 with well-rotted stable manure, spaded to a depth of 12 inches, will suffice. Plant the 

 bulbs 5 inches deep and 6 or 7 inches apart. Set out any time from September until severe 

 freezing weather. While not required, it is better to give winter protection. Large exhi- 

 bition-size bulbs, 15c each, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100, postage paid.
