MAMMOTH 

 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 any of the early-flowering bulbs. Plant 2 inches deep, and at 

 the same time you plant other varieties 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.

GIANT (Autumnale majus). The bulbs possess the peculiarity of producing, 

 without soil or water, a mass of beautiful, delicately rose-colored, fragrant 

 flowers 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. Mammoth bulbs, 10 cts. 

 each, 3 for 25 cts., 90 cts. per doz.

 25 cts. for 3, 90 cts. per doz.

 in vases, pots or water. 15 cts. each, 25 cts. for 2, SI. 25 per doz.
