In our Illustrated Album ot Bulbous Roots (see Notice, page 2) will be found figured most of the following 



MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND TUBERS. 



There are no doubt many persons who peruse our Catalogue whose practical knowledge of flowering 

 bulbs is limited to llyacintlis, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi, Gladioli, Lilies, and perhaps a few others more 

 or less popular. In addition to these, however, there is a vast number of other bulbous and tuberous- 

 rooted plants (the following being merely a selection), of which nothing can exceed the brilliancy, the 

 beauty, and the variety of their flowers, or the elegance and effectiveness of their foliage, and one or 

 other of which at nearly every season of the year is an object of atti'action. Then- culture cannot by 

 any means be considered difficult, most of the hardier varieties requiring a light porous soil, laying 

 \\-ell to the sun, and slightly protected during winter ; while those which require in-door ti-eatment should 

 be grown in well-drained pots, in a mixture of leaf soil, loam, peat, and sUver sand. 



Those who can make it convenient to call at our warehouse, can, through the medium of our 

 Illustrated Album of Bulbous Roots, make themselves acquainted with these interesting forms of floral 

 lioauty; while for those living at a distance we shall be happy to make a selection of the roots 

 suitable to the accommodation they may possess, at the prices enumerated, including only the bulbs and 

 roots in this section of our Catalogue. A Jew of these are now ready to send out, but a large number of 

 them being still in growth, it will be November before they can be despatched.
