Hyacinths. 
Among the bulbs used for Winter flowers, the Hyacinth stands foremost on 
the list. Twq methods are employed in flowering the Hyacinth in Winter, one 
in glasses filled with water, the other in pots or boxes of soil. Double and single 
varieties can be supplied. 
Jonquils. 
Pretty varieties of the Narcissus, having a very agreeable fragrance ; adapted to 
either pots or out-door culture. The bulbs being small, six or eig: jay be put 
in a six-inch pot. 
Polyanthus Narcissus. 
Beautiful early Spring flowers, produced in large clusters of white and yellow. 
Quite fragrant, making them very valuable as parlor or conservative ornaments. 
Tulips. 
Owing to the late Spring frost, bedding plants cannot safely be planted before the 
early Spring flowering bulbs are through blooming. Without these bulbs, for 
one or two months of beautiful Spring weather, our gardens would present a bare 
appearance, We know of nothing that for the amount of money invested will 
give a more gorgeous show during early Spring, and there is nothing more easily 
grown than the Tulip. They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be planted 
during October and November.
