PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS 
These have been favorites for ages as a decoration for the living room during 
the coldest winter months when flowers are scarce. Their culture is simple: Plant 
bulbs in shallow bowls filled with pebbles and water. Keep in the dark until roots 
form (about 2 weeks) then bring into light. 
Large size bulbs, 50c per dozen; medium size, 35c per dozen. 
PEONIES 
There is no flower more beautiful than the Peony, and as it comes back stronger 
and blooms more profusely each year, every flower lover should have a few Peony 
plants. Although very hardy and easily grown, the Peony prefers a good, deep 
soil, in a rather moist, yet sunny location. Plant the roots so that the eyes are 
about 2 to 3 inches under the surface. Plant in the fall.

NATIVE HARDY FERNS 
These graceful and universally popular plants are of easy cul¬ 
ture, and afford a wide range of possibilities. A shady nook, 
where the soil is moist and the drainage good, will prove an 
ideal location, especially if a liberal amount of leaf-mould or 
woods earth is available; and better still, if rocks or stumps may 
unite in breaking the monotony of the ground's surface. Under 
such conditions, ferns require very little attention and amply re- 
pay in satisfaction and genuine pleasure. There are many places 
more or less shut out from the sunlight that may be converted 
into veritable beauty spots by clumps of ferns of various kinds, 
and their intrinsic ornamental qualities are well worthy of your 
attention. Delivery can be made any time after September 15th, 
on either of the following varieties. Note the big reduction in
