Bulbs That Should Be Planted in the Fall 
Some of the daintiest and most beautiful of our flowers are found in this class. As a general 
thing, the spring-blooming bulbs are delightfully fragrant. The classes and varieties are so numerous 
that it is impossible for us to name them all in the limits of this Catalogue. We list below a few of the 
standard kinds and shall be glad to supply, on request, information in regard to other bulbs for fall 
planting. 
LILIES 
Entirely hardy, require little or no care, and make a grand display. Lilies should not be disturbed 
for several years, as established plants bloom more freely than those that are taken up annually. 
We can furnish all the leading varieties. 
CROCUSES 
Delicate and tasteful in form and varied and gay in color. Until the flowering of the hyacinth, 
and through the most changeable and unpleasant of the spring weather, the garden depends almost 
wholly upon the Crocus for its brightness. 
HYACINTHS 
The Hyacinth stands foremost among all the bulbs used for winter and spring flowers. Their 
splendid and striking beauty is too well known for them to require special description, and their 
ease of culture is generally understood. 
TULIPS 
Another favorite of the winter and spring planting bulbs, especially noted for the showiness of 
the blooms, which are produced in a striking assortment of colors.
