Dutch and French Bulbs for Fall Planting 
Do you want flowers in your home during the winter? Do you want 
beautiful flowers in the open ground long before roses and the other 
flowers come? If so, plant bulbs this fall. 
White Roman Hyacinths 
FLORISTS 7 QUALITY BULBS 
Every bulb sold by us is what is termed in the bulb trade as “Florists’ Qual¬ 
ity,” which is a recognized higher quality, higher priced line of bulbs than what 
is generally known in the trade as “Seedsmen’s Quality.” The usual “Seeds¬ 
men’s Quality” is grown to sell at lower prices. We handle “Florists’ Quality” 
only, and if you buy from ns you get the best in bulbs as in everything else. 
Dutch Hvacinths Th ® Dutc ? Hyacinths are very popular and in early 
VUlVll njavmuia spring a bed of them presents a showy and beauti¬ 
ful sight long before other flowers appear. For pot culture (single bulbs in a four- 
inch pot) they are superb and last for two or three weeks. You will make no mis¬ 
take, if you are a lover of flowers, in planting a few Dutch Hyacinths this fall.

SINGLE AND DOUBLE TULIPS 
For the northern half of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, all of 
Oklahoma and Arkansas and the higher lands of the Carolinas, tulips will be found 
very desirable. In the southern half of the states named, also Florida, they are 
seldom found satisfactory.

in full bloom.

Chinese Sacred Lilies I 
among the Chinese, who have a very pretty fable concerning its origin. The bulbs 
should be placed three to six in a shallow dish, partially filled with pebbles or small 
stones as shown in the Illustration at bottom of this page. Bulbs should be placed 
in an upright position, partially supported by the stones. The water should not 
more than half cover the bulbs. Water should be changed every two days, as they 
do not do so well in stagnant water. The bulbs will also thrive if planted in pots of 
earth and watered liberally. Under proper conditions the blossoms are produced 
abundantly, but care must be taken not to keep the bulbs in an overheated room. A 
cool, sunny window suits them best, and the curious oriental appearance of the bulbs 
their peculiar but vigorous habits of growth, and the ease with which they are grown 
make this beautiful Narcissus one of the most desirable of bulbs for window culture.
