HOLLAND, OR FALL BULBS 



These we have in stock in September and October. They are mostly imported from Hol- 

 land and arrive in this country during September. October is the best month to plant them 

 and they will give you beautiful flowers in April and May. When other flowers are scarce 

 and so much more they \\'ill be appreciated. Orders can be sent in during spring and summer 

 and will be filled as soon as bulbs are received. At prices quoted bulbs are sent by mail, 

 prepaid. 



Culture. Fall bulbs can be planted outdoors till ground freezes up. Select a sunny place 

 of rich mellow soil, where water will not stand. Plant Hyacinth and Tulip bulbs from 5 to 

 6 inches apart and from 4 to 5 Inches deep. They can be left in the bed for 2 to 3 years or 

 taken up every summer after tops have died. Cover with manure or leaves after ground 

 freezes up. 



Narcissus ought to be planted 10 to 12 Inches apart and 6 inches deep; they can be planted 

 in any place and be left in the ground as they increase in beauty every year. 



Scilla and Crocus, plant about 3 inches apart and- also that deep. Crocus do well planted in 

 the grass. 



House Culture. Use the largest bulbs for this purpose, the 4 or 5 Inch pots are large 

 enough. Use good rich mellow sandy soil, set bulb deep enough to cover with dirt, give a 

 good soaking and set pots in a cool dark place for 4 to 6 weeks, so bulbs can make a good 

 root growth, water occasionally if dry. When brought into the window they should be 

 kept near the light, but not in full sunshine for any length of time. A cool temperature 

 suits bulbs best.
