Tulips, Narcissus, Hyacinths, Lilies, Crocuses, Lily of the Valley, etc.

Zephyranthes and Tuberoses. 
There is no more interesting subject for the garden than your bulbs and no plants which 
repay you so profusely at so small a cost and with such a minimum output of labor. Their cul¬ 
ture and care is of the simplest. It is well, however, to have some work of reference, in addition 
to the catalog, which will show you how to handle your bulbs so as to ensure the best of success, 
to describe their peculiarities, and to furnish you some knowledge of the many varieties in each of 
the classes; to tell you just how and when to plant them, and to give you the various pointers in 
connection therewith in order that you may get the utmost satisfactory results out of them. 
Such being our object, we have compiled this brochure and offer it in full faith that our 
customers will find it a worthwhile acquisition to their horticultural library. 
As will be noted from the title, we have covered all the bulbs and bulbous rooted plants 
which are today favorites in American gardens. 
Price, 25c., postpaid, paper cover. 
Practical Landscape 
Gardening 
A gentleman who is fast becoming nationally 
known throughout the country for his ability, 
by name Robert B. Cridland of Philadelphia, 
was engaged by the publishers to write a book on 
Landscape 'Gardening. His first effort was in 
the direction of the laying out of estates involving 
costly plans which we promptly advised him was 
not at all what we desired. We told him we 
wanted him to produce a book that would cater 
to the interests of people of average means, and 
the result was the production of the first practical 
book that was ever written for people with from 
one or two lots to an acre or so. 
A real, enjoyable home in the country 
This book has met with wonderful success 
throughout the entire country, and we question 
whether any other work on the same subject ever 
met with the same welcome reception as has this, 
for each sale we make creates another. Through 
its conciseness and lucidity of expression the reader is at once encouraged by the ease with which 
he can acquire the needed detail instruction on the embellishment of his home grounds. Xot only 
that, but through this advice he is enabled to avoid expensive mistakes, or if he already has a 
certain layout accomplished, this book will tell him how to modify, continue on, and bring the 
whole into complete harmony with his desires and the expression of good taste. 
Additionally to its great scope of information the work is remarkable for its 91 photographic 
illustrations, 07 sketches and 33 plans. The type is large and clear and the binding durable. 
The color plate on the front cover is an irresistibly attractive landscape scene.

in the cultivation of plants, both under glass and outdoors. It differs also from Garden Guide
