A useful Tool for Bulb Planting, &c. 
The Special Bulb Planter specially designed for planting bulbs in grass. 
At every operation it lifts a clean circular little sod of grass, 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. A time must be chosen for planting when the ground has become 
softened 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 
The Special Bulb Planter a large quantity of bulbs may be planted 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 Hi lbs. The cup is 
manufactured from high-class hardened steel and always carries a keen cutting-edge. 
Supplied in 3 sizes of cup : — To cut out a circular hole 2 inches diameter I

General List of 
MISCELLANEOUS BULBS. 
We have placed the following list in alphabetical order so that any variety wanted may be the more readily found. Many uncommon 
and most beautiful species are offered to the notice of those in search of rare and lovely bulbous plants. 
N.B. — Orders which embrace late ripening bulbs will be executed in two parts — viz., the early ripened bulbs will be forwarded on 
receipt of order, the late ripened ones following on their arrival later in the season. 
Some rare varieties cannot perhaps be lifted until very late in the season, and may not reach us until the end of the year, or even early 
next year. We mention this in case any should not be received until late. But as the stocks of some are limited, orders should reach us 
early. 
AGAPANTHUS. 
An easy cultivated, valuable, and showy greenhouse decorative plant, throwing up immense trusses of beautiful flowers in Summer and 
Autumn. The white variety (Umbellatus albus) is a gem. Pot firmly in rich sandy soil.
