Imported Bulbs of 
Superior Quality 
Have always given satisfactory results for 
Winter Forcing and Outdoor Planting 
RiiIKq nf On dll tv * n placing our contracts for Bulbs with our special growers in the many foreign countries, 
Ajuiua ui 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 foreign countries will certainly 
recommend them. Under the conditions of a poor growing or ripening season, the bulbs which we receive will not be 
underrated with any which come to the United States. 
Rlllhs produce a repetition of blooms from Thanksgiving until Easter. Early planting of Allium Neapolitanum, 
ijuiua Ro man Hyacinths, Narcissus Paper White, Jonquil Campernelle and Tulips Due van Thol may be flowered 
from November to January. 
For Midwinter blooms use Dutch Hyacinths, Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Freesia; these may also be kept in a cold 
situation for late flowering. 
Late blooming sorts, as Narcissus Pooticus and Alba plena odorata, Ixia, English and Spanish Iris, Anemone and 
Ranunculus do not flower until early Spring. 
Bulb shipments are made as 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 please state same 
when ordering. 
We do not pay postage on bulbs, except where specified at heading of such variety. Bulbs ordered to be sent Parcel 
Post should be accompanied by additional amount at zone rates, weight being given at heading of each variety. 
yj 0 In the events of the present times and the increasing improvement of city and country estates 
a _ Ll the thought of naturalizing is always in vogue. This can in no way be better effected than by 
the continual addition of Spring-flowering bulbs. Nothing recommends itself so strongly during March and April in the 
lawns and fields, among the woods and along brooks, as these Spring-flowering bulbs. 
i-TprhflPPnilQ PI ci-nf'Q A very favorable time for setting out herbaceous plants is during September and 
i_ October. These plants are in excellent condition at this season of the year and we 
would suggest to those intending such perennial planting 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 Winter season.

How and When to Plant 
Bulbs for Fall planting may be set out during September, October and 
November, or until the ground is frozen. 
In the accompanying diagram are given the approxi¬ 
mate depth and distance apart that the bulbs should 
be planted. 
A very prominent fea¬ 
ture in the growing of 
Trees and Shrubs 
Trees, Shrubs and Small Fruits, is having them planted 
during the Autumn. The best time for planting Ever¬ 
greens is September, that being the month when they 
are dormant, and satisfactory results obtained. Most 
of the varieties of Deciduous Trees may be moved or 
transplanted during October and November, after a 
hard frost and when the foliage has nearly all fallen. 
Fruit trees and hard-wooded Small Fruits may be 
treated in the same manner as the deciduous trees, ex¬ 
cepting the Peach, which should only be transplanted 
in the Spring months.
