However, it is quicker and easier, especially 
with small lots, if the seed is sown in flats or 
ground beds in a cold greenhouse or frame. The 
easy germinating species are best sown in early 
spring and the slower kinds in the fall for ger¬ 
mination the following spring. The seedlings 
may be potted off when the first leaf appears 
or allowed to grow on in the frames if not too 
crowded until one year old when they may be 
set out into nursery rows in the open ground. 
Use care in transplanting so that the delicate 
young roots are not broken. We will furnish 
fresh seed of the following species in liberal 
packets at 25 cents per packet—12 packets for 
$2.50.

Shipments of Domestic Rulbs will be made 
when they have ripened off during the fall un¬ 
less you advise us to the contrary. Late bloom¬ 
ing varieties may be also planted successfully 
in the early spring. Imported Rulbs will be 
shipped from late November until the first of 
the year upon delivery from the growers or in 
the early spring as with Domestic Rulbs. 
Due to varied growing conditions over which 
we have no control it is not possible for us to 
place any guarantee on the description or qual¬ 
ity of bulbs supplied other than that they are 
true to name. We cannot be liable in cases of 
failure. We use great care in selection and 
packing and any claims for damage in shipment 
must be made promptly upon arrival of the 
bulbs.
