SPECIAL NOTICES. 
I. Quality —When the Bulba in Holland are in flower, we annually make a professional visit to the 
principal "bulb farms" to inspect the crops, and our supply of Dutch-grown bulbs is drawn from 
the healthiest " stocks ” of the most reliable growers ; we can therefore recommend them with 
the utmost confidence, and feel sure that if the bulbs receive proper cultural treatment they will give 
great satisfaction. Simple and practical cultural directions head each family of bulos, etc., in the 
following pages.

XI. Our Collection of Daffodils has been described in the Journal of Horticulture of May 14th, 1891, as 
“ a great national or international museum of Daffodils”, embracing not less than 500 species 
and varieties. These Daffodils are all perfectly hardy, remaining uninjured in the open ground, 
during the most severe winters ; out of doors the different varieties maintain a succession ot bloom 
from February to end of May, and are more decorative and useful for cutting than any other hardy 
spring flowers. Daffodils are valuable for pot-culture (three to five bulbs in a 4 or <^inch pot) 
cultural treatment and general management same as for the Hyacinth, to secure fine flowers and 
a constant succession from early in January. For full particulars and special directions as to culture, 
see our Daffodil Catalogue, /ra on application.
