A FEW EARLY FLOWERS. 



The snowdrop is the earhest of all 

 spring flowers. Its drooping white blos- 

 soms flecked with green are exceedingly 

 pretty and graceful and make a beautiful 

 contrast planted with the lovely blue scilla 

 in beds or in the grass on the lawn. Fol- 

 lowing the snowdrop is the crocus. Its 

 flowers are lovely in form and of the 

 brightest and freshest colors, pure white, 

 golden yellow, purple, pink and varie- 

 gated. The crocus is entirely hardy and 

 likes a rich dry soil and sunny location. 

 The bulbs should be planted two inches 

 deep and two or three inches apart. Then 

 follows the hyacinth w^hich is esteemed 

 am^ong the most beautiful of all spring 

 flowering bulbs. The flower spikes are 

 regular in form and the colors are very, 

 bright and distinct. The bulbs are set so 

 that the tops will be three or four inches 

 under the surface and six inches apart. 

 Give a light covering of leaves or litter 

 during the winter. All of these flowers 

 are highly valued for their beauty and 

 fragrance.

L The bulbous plants that you mention are all 

 fine, but do you overlook the tulips ? Is there any 

 plant that gives more for the time, labor, and 

 money invested than the single tulip ? We refer 

 to the single earlier varieties.]

An Asthma Cure at Last. 



It gives us great pleasure to announce the dis- 

 covery of a positive cure for Asthma, in the wonder- 

 ful Kolo Plant, a new botanic product found on 

 the Congo River, West Africa. The cures wrought 

 by it in the worst cases, are really marvelous. 

 Sufferers of twenty to fifty years' standing have 

 been at once restored to health by the Kolo Plant. 

 Among others, many ministers of the gospel testify 

 to its wonderful powers. Rev. J. L. Combs, of 

 Martinsburg, West Va., was perhaps the worst 

 case, and was cured by the Kolo Plant after fifty 

 years' suffering. Mr. Alfred C. Lewis, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, Editor of the Farmer's Magazine, gives 

 similar testimony, as do many others. To prove 

 to you beyond doubt its wonderful curative power,' 

 the Kolo Importing Co., No. 1164 Broadway, New 

 York, will send a large case of the Kolo Compound 

 free by mail to every reader of The Floral World 

 who suffers from any form of Asthma. They only 

 ask in return that when cured yourself you will 

 tell your neighbors about it. You should surely 

 try it, as it costs you nothing.
