HYACINTHS AND TULIPS. 
We frequently have orders for these bulbs in the Spring, and would here 
remind our customers that Fall is the best time to get them. We grow sever- 
al thousand in our greenhouses that flower in February and March, and can 
be sent in bloom by Express at 20 cents each. When our bulbs are through 
flowering they are of but little account to us, not being good enough to grow 
in pots another year. They are, however, good enough to set out in the 
ground or another year’s flowering, and for this purpose we will sell them 
cheap. Our selection, per dozen, 30 cents; per 100, $2.00. Tulips, 25 
cents per dozen ; $1.50 per 100. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
We could publish a book larger than this Catalogue if we inserted all the 
complimentary letters we received last year. This year we do not publish 
any, but our patrons may be assured our efforts will continually be to please 
all who have dealings with u«. 
Evergreen Lodge Lawn Grass Mixture. 
Nothing is pleasanter about a house than a good lawn, and nothing is 
more easily made and kept in order by a little well-directed care. To get 
grass seed up quickly and evenly, the surface must be mellow, so that it will 
not bake after a rain. If the soil is clayey, after sowing the grass seed, 
cover the surface with a light coating of manure, which may remain, except 
a little of the coarsest. Four bushels of grass seed for an acre are required 
to make a good lawn in a short time ; for small plats, five quarts to six square 
rods, or about one quart to a square rod should be sown. Sow grass seed 
for lawns as early as possible in the Spring, so as to give seed the benefit of 
early Spring rains. Late sowing is seldom successful. It is better to wait 
until September than to sow alter warm weather has commenced. The best 
single kind is Kentucky blue grass. To four bushels of this (per acre) add 
white clover and sweet vernal grass, about two pounds of each, and this 
will make an excellent lawn. Our preparation of lawn grass contains blue 
grass, white clover and sweet vernal grass and other very choice and fine 
lawn grasses, and i , we think, the very best preparation possible ior our hot 
and dry Summers, as we have been long making experiments to ascertain 
this fact. Finest prepared, per bushel, $3.00; per peck, $t.oo.
