MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND TUBERS. 



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

 bulbs is Umited to Hyacinths, 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. Their culture cannot by 

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

 well to the sun, and shghtly protected during winter ; while those which require in-door treatment should 

 be grown in well-drained pots, in a mixture of leaf soil, loam, jieat, and silver 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 

 beauty; whilst 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 feiu of these are now ready to send out, but a large number of 

 them being still in growth, it will be the 1st November before they can be despatched.
