FLOWERING BULBS for INDOOR 
GARDENS 
COLCHICUM. The wonder 
flower of the floral kingdom. 
Just set the bulb on the table, 
in the window, or shelf. Will 
bloom without vase, soil, water 
or care. As soon as the bulb 
is given light it will begin to 
grow producing beautiful Oro- 
cus-like flowers. Note illustra¬ 
tion. As the flowers fade, cut 
them off and others will follow 
in succession. Each bulb will 
produce from six to a dozen 
flowers. When through bloom¬ 
ing, the bulb can be potted and 
allowed to grow until July 
when it should be harvested 
and dried and then placed in 
the darkness for a few weeks. 
They can then be used for in¬ 
door decorations again. Prices, 
Each, 30c; 3 for 75c; 12 for

duced from bulbs planted after October 15th. Earlier plantings 
are inclined to grow tall and spindling with excessive leaf growth.

winter forcing bulbs. Great clusters of pearly-white, sweet scented 
flowers on long, slender stems. Sure to bloom, grown in either earth 
or water. Make plantings every two weeks up to February 1st. Our 
bulbs are all 14 ctm. or larger. Do not plant the smaller sizes as 
they do not give satisfaction. Each, 5c; 6 for 20c; 12 for 35c; 25

GERMAN PEAT MOSS 
Peat Moss makes the finest mulch for plants and bulbs that we 
know of. It does not mat down and choke the plants as leaves have 
a tendency to do, nor will it bring weeds into your garden as is 
often the case when you use hay or straw. Furthermore, Peat Moss 
will improve your soil; it is especially fine for heavy clay soils and 
light, sandy soils. 
A further use for Peat Moss is in the rock garden. It is difficult 
to keep the weeds out of a rock garden and as most rock gardens 
are built on a slope, heavy rains will wash the soil. A good applica¬ 
tion of Peat Moss will check the weed growth and will also help 
to prevent the soil from washing. 
Prices, not postpaid (weight, 16 lbs.) Carton of about two bushels, 
65c; y 4 bale (about 5 J / 2 bu.), weight, 35 lbs., $1.25; full bale (about 
22 bushel*), weight, about 130 lbs., $3.00.
