J. M. THORBURN & CO. -CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



TUUPS. coadnued 



bottom of the bulb is deep enouffh. and a distance of 5 or 6 inches between the balbs is safBcient. They 

 may be planted in October and November, before the ground freezes. A little a&nd around each bulb is 

 generally recommended, but in light, sandy soil this may be dispensed with. For pot culture, a comftost 

 of two parts loam to one part light manure, with some sand intermixed, is suitable. From three to five 

 bulbs, according to size, in a 5 -inch pot. are very effective. The pot« should be buried until the bulbs 

 are well rooted, in the manner recommf-nded for hyacinths. Most of the varieties named below are 

 equally well adapted for pot culture or the open border. 



A. B and C indicate season of flowering. A and B may be planted to flower aboat the same time in the open 

 ground ; C Lowers later.
