OF BULBS AND FLOWERING 

 ROOTS FOR FALL PLANTING 



We invite special attention the collections of bulbs offered on the cover page opposite, both for 

 indoor and outdoor cultivation. They contain only sorts that will insure satisfactioji. 



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. The cultural directions found under the respective headings 

 are worthy of careful attention. 



Our bulbs are all selected, coming from the best growers, 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. We often receive orders with either the name or the address of the sendee 

 omitted. As we can do nothing with such orders, the customer thinks his order is being neglected. We 

 therefore beg our correspondents to be careful to write on each order their name and full address. 



ORDERS should be sent as soon as possible after receipt of this Catalogue. The bulbs will be sent 

 in proper time for planting. They are ready from August 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.
