CATALOGUE OF 



Bulbs and Flowering Tloots for Fall T^lanting 



August 15, 1906 



THE growing of bulbs for winter and spring flowering is very interesting and very easy. If the 

 directions given in this Catalogue are observed, there need be no disappointment with the results. 

 Many of our most beautiful flowers are produced from bulbs, and they may be grown indoors in 

 the winter months, when flowers are most appreciated. By successive plantings a constant supply of 



flowers may be had from December till May. The finest outdoor displays of 

 the early spring months are also from bulbs planted in the autumn. There 

 is nothing more refreshing than the first Snowdrop of spring. It appears 

 before the snow is right off the ground, and is quickly followed by the 

 Chionodoxa, or " Glory-of-the-Snow," the bright and variously 

 colored Crocuses and Scillas and the lovely Daffodils. Then come 

 V ■ the gorgeous lawn displays of Hyacinths and Tulips. All these 



are produced from bulbs planted in the fall. 



We invite special attention to the collections of 

 bulbs offered on the second page of cover, both for 

 indoor and outdoor cultivation. They contain only 

 sorts that will insure satisfaction. The cultural direc- 

 tions found under the respective headings are also 

 worthy of careful attention. 



Our Bulbs are all selected, and from the best grow- 

 ers, and should not be confounded with the 

 cheap "case" bulbs sent to this country on 

 speculation and often sold at auction, and 

 otherwise, at very low prices. 



NAME and ADDRESS. \Ye often receive 

 orders with either the name or the address of 

 the sender omitted. As we can do nothing 

 with them, the customer thinks his order is 

 being neglected. We, therefore, beg our 

 correspondents to write on each order their 

 name and full address. 



ORDERS should be sent as soon as pos- 

 sible after receipt of this Catalogue. The 

 bulbs will be sent in proper time for plant- 

 ng. They are ready from September to 

 November, according to the time of ripen- 

 ing and the country from which they come. 

 Orders booked earliest are surest of being 

 filled as ordered. If left too late, the supply 

 of some of the varieties may be exhausted.
