during these winter months. 
Full directions for the management of Hya¬ 
cinths for winter blooming have been so frequent 
ly given in periodicals, and catalogues devoted to 
horticulture, that we will omit them here.

blue or yellow colors, 20 cents each, by mail 
post paid.

colors single, and four double,) $1.50 by mail 
post paid. 
TULIPS. 
The Tulip is the most celebrated, popular, bril¬ 
liant and showy of spring flowers; and not simp¬ 
ly in effect alone, as many of the choice kinds 
DOUBLE TULIP. 
have a delicacy of penciling and richness of 
tinting which excel all other plants. 
They are of easy culture, both for window 
and the open garden. They will thrive in almost 
any soil, a sandy soil enriched with well rotted 
cow manure is, however, preferable; and being 
perfectly hardy, they can well claim a promi¬ 
nent rank among hardy bulbs. 
EARLY DWARF DUC VAN THOLL TULIPS. 
The Hue Van Tholls are admired for their 
neat dwarf habit of growth, and brilliant colors. 
They are the earliest of all Tulips, and are espe¬ 
cially adapted for pot culture, for winter bloom¬ 
ing. The best effect is produced by planting 
in large pots, six, twelve, or more bulbs of 
mixed or different colors. They can also be 
highly recommended for early flowers out of 
doors, and produce a pretty effect when planted 
in masses. 
Our collection consists of crimson, rose, scarlet 
Vermillion, white, yellow and striped. 
Price, mixed bulbs, each 5 cents. Per dozen 
50 cents, by mail post paid. 
EARLY FLOWERING DOUBLE TULIPS. 
These can also be forced in pots, or they are 
a real ornament for the garden, as their large,, 
early, fine colored flowers and dwarf habit, make 
them very desirable for bedding. 
Price, mixed colors, each, 8 cents; per dozen, 
75 cents. 
THE CROCUS. 
As one of the earliest ornaments of the flower 
garden, the Crocus is a universal favorite; being 
neat, dwarf and compact, and varied in all the 
essential shades of color for producing harmony 
of effect. It is particularly adapted to planting 
near the edge of flower gardens etc., so as not to 
require removal, or in forming lines or edges 
which after blooming may be removed. Like 
Tulips they should be planted at any time dur¬ 
ing the fall, before the ground freezes, plac¬ 
ing the bulbs about two inches deep. They 
may be in groups of separate colors, or in blend¬ 
ed varieties; They will improve several years 
if not disturbed. 
We offer yellow, white, striped, blue and 
purple, separate or mixed, at 25 cents per dozen, 
or $1.50 per 100, post paid by mail. 
NARCISSUS. 
The various classes of Narcissus are very at¬ 
tractive aud showy flowers, producing on a tall 
stem large clusters of white and yellow cup shap¬ 
ed blossoms, and are particularly admired for 
their sweet jasmine perfume. They contrast fine¬ 
ly with the Hyacinth and Crocus for garden, pot 
or window culture, and require the same treat¬ 
ment. 
Prices: single, mixed, 5 cents each, 50 cents, 
per dozen. Double mixed, 8 cents each, 90 cents 
per dozen.
