Winter 8 Early Spring-Flowering Bulbs 
FOR CULTURE IN VASES AND BOWLS 
In Barr’s New Peat-fibre Mixture 
A charming effect can be obtained by growing spring-flowering bulbs in fancy vases 
and bowls, with or without drainage holes, by simply using our specially prepared Peat- 
fibre, Shell and Charcoal Mixture (31. 6 d. per bushel, ir. per peck, ready for use) ■ 
the mixture is light, clean, and nice to handle, and remains sweet (an important matter 
where the vases have no drainage holes) ; indeed, it is in every way preferable for growing 
bulbs in fancy bowls and vases for indoor decoration, being not only cleaner but a 
warmer and better moisture-holding medium. 
We recommend for culture in bowls or vases the following: — Roman and Italian 
Hyacinths, Daffodils, Polyanthus and Poetaz Narcissi, Early Single and May-flowering 
Tulips, Chlonodoxas, Freeslas, Fritillarias, Irises Alata and Reticulata, Musearl 
Azureum, and Jonquils.
