J. M. THQRBURN ^ CO. S CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



Lachenalia ready in September 



Very pretty, spring-flowering, greenhouse bulbous plants of elegant habit and with brightly colored flowers. 

 They should be grown in pots, four to six bulbs in a s-inch pot, in a compost of two parts loam, two parts leaf- 

 mold and one part each of peat, sand and well-rotted cow manure. Apply but little water until growth is some- 

 what advanced, but give more freely as the foliage develops; give them plenty of light and air and keep near the 

 glass to insure sturdy growth. Lachenalias are also excellent subjects for hanging baskets.

Nerine ready m October and November 



Very beautiful greenhouse bulbous plants succeeding best in pots in light 

 soil — say a compost of loam, leaf-mold and sand. Frequent repotting is not 

 advisable, but an annual top-dressing of new soil before the flowering season 

 is recommended. During the growing season they succeed best in a frame with 

 some bottom heat. After the leaves die, they should be kept quite dry in a 

 cool place until they begin to grow again.
