BUIST’S BULBS BLOOM

NARCISSUS, PAPER-WHITE GRANDIFLORA 
Chinese Sacred Narcissi 
Flowers in clusters very similar to those of the 
Paper-White Narcissus, but the cups within the petals 
are yellow. Planted in pots or bowls, in soil or in 
water with pebbles, they bloom in from six to eight 
weeks. Plant bulbs at intervals of ten days up to 
Christmas. 10 cts. each, $1.00 per doz. 
Freesia 
The justly popular Freesias are greatly prized for 
the delightful fragrance of their delicately colored 
flowers, which, when cut, will remain in good condi¬ 
tion for a long time in water. They are easily grown 
or forced in good loamy soil, with an admixture of 
leaf-mold and sand, in a frame or green-house, and are 
excellent for window culture in Winter. For the 
information of all not acquainted with these bulbs, 
we may say that they are quite small, but produce 
large blooms in comparison to their size.

Jonquils 
These are small-flowering types of Narcissus, and prized 
for the fragrant blooms and the ease with which they may 
be grown. Liberal planting should be made outdoors in 
groups of twenty-five or more, or the bulbs may be scat¬ 
tered among the shrubbery, in the hardy border, or natural¬ 
ized in the grass. 
Campernelle Rugulosus. The largest and finest of all Jon¬ 
quils; a handsome flower; color pure yellow; very fra¬ 
grant. 3 for 20 cts., 7 5 cts. per doz., $5.50 per 100.

Polyanthus Narcissus 
The flowers of this class of Narcissi are deliciously 
sweet-scented. They are of the easiest culture, producing 
flowers very freely on long stems, bearing from six to a 
dozen blooms each. In the South they are hardy. Plant the 
bulbs so that they almost touch each other in soil, fibre, 
or in bowls filled with pebbles and water and store them 
in a cool, dark place for three to four weeks until they are 
well rooted, when they should be brought to the light. To 
be flowered successfully, they should not be moved into a 
warm room until the buds are about to open, as excessive 
heat will blight the buds. Successive plantings give flowers 
from Christmas until Easter. 
If growing these bulbs in water, larger and stronger 
blooms will be had if planted after November 1st. 
Paper White Grandiflora. Pure white blooms. The favor¬ 
ite as a decoration for the dining room during the cold 
winter months, when flowers are scarce.
