CARTER^S CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 
** indicate such Hyacinths and Pohjanthus Narcissus as are most proper for 
forcing either in pots, glasses or moss ; those marked with * succeed best in pots ; 
all are proper for the open borders. 
The Amarytlidace<e [page 9) are chiefly greenhouse or stove plants ; the hardy 
kinds are designated. The IridaceiB are proper for the greenhouse or framey but 
they succeed very well in the open boj ders with a little protection. 
September, October and November are the best months for general planting. 
Iris and Fritillaries do not keep well aid of the ground, and should be planted as 
soon as received, any time during the months of September and October ; hut they, 
as well as other hardy bulbs, may be planted much later. 
Ladies and Gentlemen are respectfully informed, that if the choice of the Hya^ 
cinths, tVc. is left to J. Carter, he will guarantee their giving entire satisfaction.

J. Carter requests to be informed whether the Hyacinths are intended for water, 
pots, or the open borders ; also whether double or sinyle Hyacinths are preferred, 
or part of each. If the selection is left to him, he generally sends two-thirds double 
and one-third single, which will he found to give greater variety. Hyacinths may 
be arranged with much more effect when there are duplicates or triplicates of the 
same kind.
