SPECIAL NOTICES. 
I Quality.—' When the Bulbs 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 plants in the 
following pages. 
II Experimental Grounds and Nursery, Long Dltton, a few minutes from Surbiton Station, S.W.R.

brilliancy of the bulb fields surpasses description. From August to April one variety or another o.' 
our unique collection of rare Species of Crocus may be seen in flower, and in September and October 
there is a gay display of beautiful varieties of Meadow Saffrons.

X Daffodil Catalogue. — The great importance now attached to Daffodils for forcing, and as cut flowers, 
and for out-door decoration in beds, borders, and to naturalize in grass, has made it necessary to 
devote a special Catalogue to these, to which we have added short lists from our well-known collec- 
tions of Irises Paeonles— Double and Single, Christmas Roses, Lenten Roses, Lilies, Michaelmas 
Daisies, Perennial Sunflowers, Phloxes, Day-Lilies, Plantaln-LUles, and a few other beautiful 
Hardy Herbaceous Plants. 
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. They are all perfectly hardy, remaining uninjured in the open ground, during the 
most severe winters ; out of doors the different varieties maintain a succession of 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 5-inch pot), cultural treatment 
and general management same as for the Hyacinth, to secure a constant succession of flowers from 
early in January. For full particulars and special directions as to culture, see our Daffodil Catalogue,.
