Winter and Early Spring-flowering Bulbs 
FOR CULTURE IN VASES, BOWLS OR POTS 
In Barr’s Peat-fibre, Shell, and Charcoal Mixture. 
A charming effect can be obtained by growing spring-flowering bulbs in fancy vases and bowls, 
with or without drainage holes, by simply using our specially prepared Peat-fibre, Shell and 
Charcoal Mixture (5s. M. per bushel. Is. 6 d. per peck, ready for use); the mixture is light, clean, 
and nice to handle, and remains sweet (an important matter where the vases have no drainage holes); 
indeed, it is in every way preferable to ordinary soil for the growing of bulbs in fancy bowls and vases 
for indoor decoration, being not only cleaner, but a warmer and better moisture-holding medium. 
We recommend for culture in bowls or vases the following:— Hyacinths, Daffodils (see Collections 
for Bowls and the best Daffodils for forcing, page 3 of Daffodil Catalogue), Polyanthus Narcissi, 
Poetaz Narcissi {page 25 of Daffodil Catalogue), Early Single Tulips {pages 61 to 63 of this 
Catalogue) and May-flowering Darwin and Cottage Tulips {the varieties marked * on pages 66 to 
76 of this Catalogue), Chionodoxas, Crocus (purple, white and striped varieties), Fritillarias, 
Muscari azureum, and Jonquils, all offered in the following pages of this Catalogue. 
ijg- For full Cultural Directions see page 3 of this Catalogue.

or well-weathered ashes until the bulbs have made 2 to 3 inches of top growth.
