LARGE SELECTED BULBS 



One of the earliest spring-flowering bulbs. They produce fine effects, if 

 planted promiscuously throughout the lawn or in shrubbery, especially if 

 combined with Scilla Sibirica, snowdrops or any of the early-flowering bulbs. 

 Plant 2 inches deep, and at the same time you plant other varieties of bulbs 

 outdoors. Six or more bulbs may be planted in a pot or pan, placed in a 

 cool situation, and when leaves appear they may be taken indoors. The 

 Mammoth bulbs may also be flowered in bowls in water with pebbles or 

 may be grown in moss in balls, baskets, etc.

 mail, postage on 4 lbs.; for Mammoth bulbs, add postage on 6 lbs.

 mass of beautiful, delicately rose-colored, fragrant (lowers in September. Simply 

 place the bulbs without earth or water on a mantel, table or desk, and in a very 

 short time they will produce their large, crocus-like flowers. When the flowers 

 are faded, the bulbs can be planted in the garden, and in the fall you can again 

 dig them up and flower them as before, or if left undisturbed they will bloom in 

 the fall year after year. Large bulbs, 10 cts. each, SI per doz. 



Bornmulleri. Immense, rich rosy lilac flowers; early blooming. Fine for flower- 

 ing in vases, pots or water. 15 cts. each, SI. 50 per doz.
