Bowls, Jardinets, Glasses, etc. In the case of glasses, half fill with the Fibre Mixture, and add water 
till no more can be absorbed. Place the bulb so as to rest the base on the [neparation, and tie 
down with brown paper, leaving an opening in the centre of the jiaper for the shoot. When the 
bulb has well rooted the paper may be removed ; care must be taken that the material in the glass 
is kept moist. The same remarks apply to bulbs grown in bowls, etc. : they must be kept in place 
till they have rooted. Our Fibre Mixture is sent out ready for use. Per bushel 1/6 ; per peck 1/6

TWO USEFUL TOOLS FOR DAFFODIL PLANTING. 
Barr’s Special Bulb Planter, specially designed for phinting Daffodils and other bulbs in 
grass. This tool cuts and lifts a clean circular piece of turf, which is released from the cup when 
the second hole is made, and lies ready at hand to fill in the holes when the bulbs have 
been put in, it being only necessary to remove a little of 
the soil from the bottom of the sod. A time must be 
c hosen for planting when the grotinil has become soft- 
ened after early Autumn rains, and not when in a hard 
and baked condition, as it is then impossible to use this, 
or indeed any other tool with success. By the use of 
Bark’s Special Bulb Planter a large number of 
bulbs may be i>lanted in a very short time, and without the least disturbance of the sward. The length 
of the tool is 38 inches over all, weight about 3j lbs. The cup is manufactured from high-class hardened 
steel anil always carries a keen cutting edge. 
Supplied in 3 sizes of cup To cut out a circular hole 2 inches diameterj
