Imported Bulbs of 
Superior Quality 
Have always given satisfactory results for 
Winter Forcing and Outdoor Planting 
Rlllhs of Ollfimv III pl-'K’iiiK our rontracts for Rultis with our special KroHors in the many forcicn countries, 
_JL_eL we specifically stipulate that they shall be filled with the best quality and size that each 
country produces. The quality of the bulbs that we have always received from these foreiKU countries will certainly 
recommend them, l.’nder the conditions of a poor (trowing or ripening season, the bulbs which we receive will not bo 
underrated wdth any which come to the United States. 
T>|]lKo will produce a repetition of blooms from Thank.sgiving until Easter. Early planting of Eree.sia. Oxalis, 
* ^ ^ Jonquil Campernellc, Narcissus Soleil d'Oi and Papcr-A\ bite may be flowered from Novemlaer to 
January. 
For .Midwinter blooms use Idutch Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Frecsia; those may also lx; kei)t in a cold 
situation for late flowering. 
bate blooming sorts, as Narci.ssus I’octicus and .\lba iJena odorata, .\nemonc and Ranunculus do not flower until 
early Spring. 
Hull) shipments are made us early as possible after orders are received. Bulbs are not received by us at one time, 
which necessitates our making extra shipments. Customers desiring bulbs made in one shipment will plca.-ic state .same 
when ordering. 
\\ e do not pa.v postaiie on bulbs, except where specified at heading of such variety. Bulbs ordered to bo sent Parcel 
Post should be accompanied by additional amount at zone rates, weight being given at heading of each variety. 
yjj-jrt In the events of the jire-sent times and the increasing improvement of city and country estates 
-^-_2 the thought of naturalizing is always in vogue. This can in no way bo bettor effected than by 
the continual addition of Spring-flowering bulbs. Nothing recommends it.self .so strongly during March and April in the 
lawns and fields, among the woods and along brooks, as these S])ring-flowcring bulbs. 
PJ^yl-g very favorable time for setting out herbaceous plants is during September and 
-October. Thc.se plants are in excellent condition at this .season of the year and we 
would suggest to those intending such perennial iilanting to consider doing so at above-mentioned time. 
Our stocks of Hardy Perennials are in excellent condition, large, strong plants and of sufficient texture to withstand 
the M'inter .season.

vember, or until the ground is frozen.

A very iirominent fea¬ 
ture in the growing of 
Trees and Shrubs 
'i'roes, Slirufxs aiul Small Fruits, is haviiiK them ijlautorl 
(luririK the Autumn. Tlie best time for plantini 2 : Kver- 
Iirecns is September, tliat beiiiK the month when they 
are dormant, and satisfactory results obtained. Most 
of tlie varieties of Deciduous Trees may be moved or 
tran.splanted during October and Xovember, after a 
hard frost and when the foliage has nearly all fallen. 
Fruit trees and hard-wooded Small Fruits maj' be 
treated in the same manner as tlie deciduous trees, ex- 
cei>ting the Peach, whicli should only be transplanted 
in the Spring months.
