BULB 

 CATALOGUE 



1903 



A BULB is a small sealed packet affording infinite delight and satisfaction. Where 

 for the little invested can you obtain more exquisite beauty and fragrance than 

 develop in a Tulip, a Hyacinth or Narcissus ? 



The lesser joys of inanimate objects, pretty pictures and fine furnishings, fade 

 into the background when one can v^atch with quickening interest the magic of springing 

 leaf and unfolding bud ; and like life's other best things, these blessings are for all. None 

 so poor that he cannot have a flower in his window — none so rich that his palace is not 

 made grander by nature's beautiful gifts. Your home may be brightened and cheered 

 each season by the freshness and fragrance of these marvelous flowers. 



They are valued the more on account of their timeliness. Bulbs may be had in 

 their most perfect bloom indoors when without, nature shows no evidences of plant 

 life whatever. 



To aid those unfamiliar with the few cultural directions necessary to insure success 

 we have prepared the chart below. Ordinarily good garden soil and sufficient moisture 

 are the only other requisites. 



Failures result not infrequently from planting bulbs of low grade. We import and 

 offer for sale only the best obtainable. 



Bulbs indoors do not require such deep planting as indicated in the diagram below, 

 there being no danger from frost to guard against. Cultural directions for bulbs in the 

 house are given in the pages following in connection with the various varieties.
