Miscellaneous BULBS & ROOTS 
We are offering in this section a great variety of 
different bulbs and roots which are of the greatest 
importance to every florist. You will find many in¬ 
teresting new kinds besides the old favorites. Particu¬ 
larly interesting are Colchicum and the Autumn Flower¬ 
ing Crocus because planted now they will produce 
flowers within a month or two. Sternbergia also is 
another fall flowering bulb which is comparatively little 
known. Every grower should give the lesser known 
bulbs a trial including both the kinds that are grown 
in the greenhouse or in frames and the hardy kinds 
which bloom outdoors during early spring.

shaded position or in the gritty crevices of a deep 
rock garden pocket. They bear their showy blooms 
on stiff slender stems 8 to 15 inches long which makes 
them valuable for cutting. Some varieties in this

others produce long trumpets with the petal tips 
flaring at the ends. Plant them early in the fall out¬ 
doors as they are hardy. 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100.
