GENEVA, NEW YORK 
BULBS AND BULBOUS FLOWERING ROOTS 
The classes and varieties of Bulbs^are so numerous that limited space does not admit of our enumerating them 
in this catalogue. Suffice it to say, we can supply anything in the bulbous line possessing merit, and will be pleased 
to answer all queries regarding same. 
SUMMER AND AUTUMN FLOWERING BULBS THAT REQUIRE 
TAKING UP IN THE FALL, AND TO BE KEPT IN 
A DRY CELLAR FROM FREEZING 
GLADIOLUS 
These handsome, stately flowers are universally 
popular. They are robust, erect of growth, with 
green sword-shaped leaves, and splendid flower scapes 
rising from two to three feet in height. They are of a 
variety of colors, such as orange, scarlet and vermillion 
tints upon yellow and orange grounds, with various 
shades from white and rosy blush and salmon rose tints 
to a salmon red and nankeen. 
TUBEROSE 
The Tuberose is noted for its delicate beauty 
and exquisite fragrance; the flowers are pure white 
very double and wax-like, and borne on stems two or 
three feet high. 
BULBS THAT SHOULD BE PLANTED IN THE F.ALL 
LILIES 
The lilies should have a place in every garden as 
they are entirely hardy, require little or no care and 
make a grand display; after planting they require very 
little care, and should not be disturbed for several 
years, as established plants bloom more freelj"- than if 
taken up annually. 
CROCUS 
These are delicate and tasteful in form and varied 
and gay in color. Until the flowering of the Hyacinth 
and through the most changeable and unpleasant of 
the spring weather the garden depends almost alone 
upon the Crocus for its brightness. Plant the bulbs 
in autumn about three inches apart and cover with two 
inches of soil. Cover in fall with a little straw or coarse 
manure to keep the bulbs from being thrown out by 
frost. 
HYACINTHS 
Among all the bulbs used for winter flowers, the Hyacinth stands foremost. Flowers may be produced by placing 
the bulbs in a glass filled with water or placed injpots or boxes in soil. Double blue, with various shades; double red 
with various shades; double white; single blue, various shades; single red, various shades; single white.
