New Bulbs 
A flower long dreamed of is now a reality — a Pink Freesia — the result of vision and the hybrid- 
izer's art, and years of care; they are new and rare and charmingly pretty. Another hybrid Freesia 
a deep yellow one, is also new and exceptionally fragrant. Then there is a new race of Irises The 
Dutch Iris, very early, fine and large. Beside these there is the Begonia Cristata or Crested Begonia 
also new Darwin Tulips, Scilla Campanulata, and white Watsonias, all listed by us this year for the 
first time. 
We have not raised our prices on Bulbs or Seeds on account of the European War. Tndeed, Dar- 
win Tulips are lower in spite of the extra freights, and should he planted by everyone. Be sure to get 
Morse's Bulbs on account of their fine flowering qualities. The}' are the best which can be had. Our 
beautiful bulb beds at the Panama Pacific International Exposition were awarded the Gold Medal 
The same high cpiality bulbs we now offer you.

Morse's Prepared Bulb Fibre 
_ Spring flowering bulbs can be grown in Morse Prepared Fibre right in the house and flower better than if growing in 
ordinary pots. The fibre will retain moisture longer and more evenly, and supply all plant food. No 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 char- 
coal in the fibre. Hyacinths do well, also early Tulips, Freesias, Narcissus, Crocus, Jonquils, Snowflakes, Allium, Spanish 
Iris, etc., flower freely. Fibre comes moist. (Postage additional.) Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 45c; 25 lbs., $2.00.

GENERAL CULTURAL DIRECTIONS FOR BULBS 
... Outdoor planting should be done early in the fall to secure healthy plants, vigorous foliage and beau- 
titul flowers. Set the bulbs so that there is earth above them to their own depth. This is a good rule. 
Do not overcrowd; 3 to 4 inches apart for small bulbs such as Crocus, Snowdrops, Ranunculus, etc.; 6-7 
inches for Anemones, Jonquils, Tulips, Iris Freesias; 7-9 inches for Hvacinths and Narcissus; IS to 27 
inches for Lilies.
