may be placed in layers in boxes placed on the ground in a sunny 
exposure. Sprinkle over each layer a coating of sand. Layers may 
be four to six deep. Keep constantly moist but not soaking. As 
the young plants appear above ground, they should be carefully 
removed and planted in nursery rows 3 feet apart. A cloudy day is 
most suitable for this work.

The seed may bo planted in beds, during the winter or spring

germinate, which will be in about three or four weeks, according to 
the temperature. As soon as they crack and show the sprout they 
should be transplanted to the nursery rows, 4H to 5 feet apart and

BULBS and FLOWER SEEDS 
FOR FALL PLANTING 
ISSUED SEPT. 1st 
We receive annually a direct importation of the finest Holland Bulbs pro¬ 
curable, arriving^ about October 1st. 
There are no flowers that can be grown with more satisfaction where fragrance 
and beauty of bloom are concerned and with less labor and cultivation than flowering 
bulbs. They are easily grown and do not require the skill of an expert to develop them. 
They have the advantage of blooming in winter when flowers are scarce, and some 
varieties can be forced for the Holidays. 
By sending us your address we will place your name on list and will mail you 
our catalog as soon as it is ready.
