GENERAL CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR BULBS 
Outdoor planting should be done early in the fall to secure healthy plants, vigorous foliage and beautiful Mow- 
ers. Set the bulbs so that there is earth above them to their own depth. This is a good rule. Do not overcrowd; 
• i to 4 inches apart for small bulbs such as Crocus, Snowdrops, Ranunculus, etc.; 6-7 inches for Anemones, Jon- 
quils, Tulips, Iris, Freesias; 7-9 inches for Hyacinths and Narcissus; 18 to 27 inches for Lilies. 
Non-Warranty 
Most of the failures witli seeds, plants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our control, such as un- 
favorable weather, too deep and too shallow planting, slugs, etc., therefore C. C. Morse & Co. give no warranty, 
express or implied, as to description, purity, productiveness, or any other matter of any seeds, plants, bulbs, etc.. 
they send out, and will be in no way responsible for the crop; if the purchaser does not accept the goods on these 
terms they are to be returned to us at once. 
We wish to remind you of the few usual requests which help us so much in our business: 
Please Order Early 
The best time is just as soon as this catalogue reaches you. The bulbs may not have arrived by then, but your 
order will be given immediate attention, and be filled just as soon as the stock arrives. At the first of the season 
there are no sorts sold out, and, besides, the bulbs flower much better when planted early. 
Name and Address 
Please be sure to write plainly your full name and address, when sending us your order and remittance. Send 
also the name of the nearest express office, if bulbs are to come that way, when it differs from the postoffice. We 
send bulbs by express unless postage for the different sorts as shown in the catalogue accompanies the order. 
Morse's Bulbs are the very finest grade. 
Morse's Prepared Bulb Fibre 
Early flowering bulbs can lie grown in Morse Prepared Fibre right in tbe house and dower better 
than if growing in ordinary soil. 'The fibre will retain moisture longer and more evenly, and supply 
all plant food. Xo drainage is required for growing in this way; the fibre should be moist but not 
saturated, and if too much water should have been given; tip the bowl and empty same. Bowls are used 
for holding the fibre and growing the flowers. They always keep sweet on account of charcoal in the 
fibre. Hyacinths do well, also early Tulips, Freesias, Narcissus, Crocus, Jonquils, Snowfilakes, Allium, 
Spanish Iris, etc., (lower freely. Fibre comes moist. (Postage additional.) Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 45c; 25 lbs..

OUR PRICES plainly state whether postage is included, and if not what the weight of the bulbs is 
estimated to be. On our order sheet for bulbs is a column especially for weights, and these should be set 
down and added, and figured at zone rates as above table at the end of the sheet for the total shipment. 
This will make the figuring very simple. Should there be a slight difference between estimated weight and 
actual weight we will put in extra bulbs or seed.
