Wayside Gardens Bulb Forcing Fiber 
Roman Hyacinths, 5 or 6 in a bowl, 
make a very charming table deco' 
ration, and if potted early in Sep¬ 
tember may easily be had in bloom 
by middle of December; if a num¬ 
ber are potted at the date men' 
tioned, a succession of these charm' 
ing flowers may be had until the 
middle of January by bringing a 
bowl into warmth, say every 2 
weeks. 
Freesias are delightful flowers. If 
potted in September or early in 
October, keeping in a cool frame 
till well rooted, they may be had in 
bloom early in February. They re' 
quire plenty of light, otherwise 
they become “drawn” and do not 
flower well. Must be grown very 
cool, about 55°, and the bulbs must 
never be exposed to frost before 
bringing into the house. 
Paper-White Narcissi, Soleil d’Or 
Narcissi. These, if planted from 
early in September to the middle 
or end of October, will bloom from 
about the middle of December to 
the middle of January. Grow much 
stronger in our fibre than they do 
in pebbles. The flowers also last 
much longer, 
Poetaz Laurens Koster, Poetaz Klondike. Charming speci' 
mens for house decoration grown in bulb fiber in bowls. 
They are deliciously perfumed and specially recom' 
mended. Should be grown in the same manner as Roman 
Hyacinths. 
TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
King Alfred. The merit of this variety is that it blooms 
early, and by planting in the beginning of October it 
may be had in bloom from about January onwards. It 
has a very bright yellow flower, which is thrown well 
above the abundant foliage. 
Golden Spur does wonderfully well treated in the same way. 
Emperor always makes a handsome display, but as the bulbs 
are large it is desirable to have a large and deep bowl 
. to put them in. 
Madame de Graaff is strongly recommended for growing in 
bowls. It opens with a pale yellow trumpet, but goes a 
creamy white with age. One of the most charming of 
all white Daffodils. 
Van Waveren’s Giant, Victoria, Olympia, are favorite va- 
rieties. They always do well. 
SHORT-CUP DAFFODILS 
Lord Kitchener is a favorite at a moderate price. A cer¬ 
tain bloomer, very floriferous, generally throwing 2 and 
very often 3 flowers from each bulb. 
Campemelle Rugulosus with its rushlike foliage and pretty 
yellow starlike flowers like a large Jonquil generally 2 or 
3 on a stem. Always does well and cannot be too strongly 
recommended. 
Barri Conspicuus with its lovely rich 
orange cup,- generally give 2 or 3 
flowers from a first size bulb. 
White Lady, another charming va' 
riety, does well. We do not advise 
the very expensive varieties, as one 
can derive quite as much pleasure 
from the best of the ordinary ones. 
Hyacinths do wonderfully well in 
this fiber. First si^e bulbs or sec- 
ond si 2 ;e bulbs in a‘bowl make a 
charming display. All the varieties 
offered in our catalog may be used. 
Do not plant Mixed Hyacinths; 
they never look so well as all one 
variety, owing to their not bloom' 
ing together. 
SINGLE EARLY TULIPS 
Special care is required to see that 
they do not get dry at the roots be' 
cause if this happens the pores of the 
roots close up and flowers fail.

very lasting. 
De Wet. Beautiful shade of copper. 
Mon Tresor. Large, pure golden yel' 
low. 
Brilliant Star. Bright vermilion'scar- 
let.

base. : i,. 
Prince of Austria. A beautiful orange'scarlet which grows 
tall and is most' effective. 
DOUBLE EARLY TULIPS 
Murillo. Delicate rose'pink, flushed white. 
Mr. Van der Hoef. Beautiful golden yellow. 
Peach Blossom. Bright rose'pink. 
Coiironne d’Or. Rich golden yellow, shaded copper. 
Tea Rose. Saffron'yellow. Nearly all Early Tulips do well 
in Bulb Fiber if care is only taken to keep the roots thor' 
oughly moist, particularly when the flower bud is showing. 
LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY and DIELYTRA SPECTABILIS 
(Bleeding Heart) are easy subjects and having such grace' 
ful flowers are strongly recommended. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA CHIONODOXA 
SNOWDROPS IRIS RETICULATA 
CROCUSES (Except Yellow)
