FERRE, BATCIIELDER # CO’S CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 
THE LILT. 
The Lily has always been a favorite flower, ancl some of the varieties are truly magnificent. 
They will, like other Bulbs, grow well in any ordinary good garden soil. A good way is to remove 
a portion of the old soil, and replace the same with peat or leaf mould and sand, mixing the whole 
well together to the depth of eighteen or twenty inches. In such soil they will thrive with vigor, 
and produce an abundance of flowers. The best time for planting is in October and November, 
though they can also be planted in the Spring. Plant about a foot apart and four inches deep. 
They can also be cultivated in pots, for which purpose plant any time from November to February, 
in a compost of loam and leaf mould, with a small quantity of sand. A six inch pot should have 
one root, which cover two inches deep. Our Bulbs are large and in fine condition and will reward 
the cultivator with a splendid array of flowers.

THE 2sT-A_IRCTS3TJS- 
The Narcissus ranks next in importance to the Hyacinth, and is a splendid flower for Win¬ 
ter and Spring decoration. Some of the varieties are double and showy, and the single are delicate 
and beautiful. The most beautiful class of the Narcissus family is the Polyanthus Narcissus, 
which have a perfume like that of the Jonquil. Culture in-doors the same as recommended for 
the Hyacinth. As the Bulbs are large, we recommend a five or five and a half inch pot for one 
Bulb, and a seven inch pot for three. Culture out of doors essentially the same as the Hyacinth, 
except that the crown of the Bulb should be at least five inches under the surface, and for Winter 
protection the bed should be covered with about three inches of leaves or evergreen branches. 
Time of planting same as the Hyacinth.
