BEDDING, POMPON, AND ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
Customers, in ordering, will find it convenient to use the Order Sheet which accompanies 
the current year’s Catalogue, as it is only necessary to fill in the Marginal Numbers and 
the quantities. The Order Sheet is an Index to the Catalogue, and, taken in conjunction, 
it simplifies making out the order. 
N.B. — The Marginal Numbers in the Catalogue are annually changed; therefore, if the order 
is taken from a previous year's Catalogue, the date should be specified. Failing this 
notification, the order will be executed from the current Catalogue.

during October, November, and December. The bulbs should be potted 3 to 6 in a pot in August, 
September, and October. When the bulbs ate well rooted they should be forced gently, and watered

are mounted on wire, and are much prized in small bouquets and buttonholes. (Nos. 647 & 660).
