French Bulbs for Indoor Culture 
S m 
The Narcissi named below are grown in the United 
States and will be available for shipment early in Sep- 
tember. We can ship them then or later as you may 
desire. For early winter flowers, it is desirable to start 
them as soon as possible. Follow the directions given 
with each variety, and you will have an abundance of 
dainty, attractive flowers in early winter. These are the 
earliest flowering bulbs we offer. For a succession of 
bloom, start a new lot every two weeks. 
AMERICAN GROWN 
Lilium Candidum 
\ fl 2. m Xfr&wer 
V direct to / 
\ eohsumer 
This is the exquisite Madonna Lily, which produces a large mass of snow-white flowers on 
straight stems. Plant these bulbs in the open in September or October, and protect them well 
from frost, as they are not extremely hardy, and during May or June you will have an abun¬ 
dance of flowers. Can also be planted in pots and by putting them in a cold frame for three 
months, well protected, then taking them into a greenhouse, the same success will be yours. 
Jumbo bulbs only, 30c each; $3.00 per doz.; $22.00 per 100. 
Golden Yellow Narcissus, Soleil d'Or 
Candidum or Madonna Lily 
Soleil d’Or resembles the Paper-White Narcissus very much in habit, but is of an exquisite 
deep yellow color, with an orange-yellow cup. The culture is the same as for the Paper-White 
Narcissus. We expect to have some very fine stock of this variety to meet the steadily increased 
demand of the past few seasons. Do not forget to order a few and get acquainted with this 
wonderful flower. 
We offer only the Exhibition Size : $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100; $85.00 per 1000. 
Paper-White N arcissus 
Suitable for Growing in Water and 
Gravel, Sand or Fiber. 
We handle only the Giant Grand- 
iflora variety, which is a great im¬ 
provement over the ordinary Paper- 
White Narcissus. It can be had in 
bloom from Christmas until Easter, 
either in pots, bowls or boxes. Upon 
arrival, plant them immediately, if 
wanted early, and put in a cool 
place in cellar or pit, free from 
frost. When well rooted they can 
be taken into heat, and if watered 
freely they will produce an abun¬ 
dance of beautiful blooms. They 
are not hardy. 
Jumbo or Exhibition Size, 80c 
per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $58.00 per 
1000. First Size, 60c per doz.; 
$4.50 per 100; $42.00 per 1000. 
French Roman 
Hyacinths 
French Roman Hyacinths are 
among the earliest bulbs to be had 
in flower. The bulbs arrive from 
France late in August, and, like all 
bulbs grown in the south of France, 
they may be had in flower from 
November all through the winter 
months, if potted up in September 
and at intervals of every two weeks. 
They are much prized for pots or 
cutting on account of their graceful 
appearance and delicate fragrance.
