Iris Reticulata 
Delightfully-scented Christmas Hyacinths 
These Hyacinths have been lifted from the ground before they were sufficiently ripe and furl her maturing takes place 
in a room which is heated according to the requirements. After that, they are transferred to a room where the 
temperature is just above, freezing point. It is there that they await despatch. By this artificial treatment the flower in 
the bulb has been so far developed that they can easily flower at Christmas. Immediately upon receipt they should be 
planted in pots or boxes with soil as well as in bowls or jardinieres with gravel, just as you prefer and then be placed 
in a dark, cool yet dry place until they begin to shoot. When this happens they may be brought into the light and 
warmth. The soil should be kept moist but not too wet. They produce large compact flower clusters and spread a 
lovely scent. „ ...

DISTINGUISHED EXOTIC BOTANICAL TULIPS 
These wild Tulips form quite' a race apart in the world of Tulips. Their growth, colors and shapes are entirely 
different from the ordinary Tulips. They originate from the far-off tropical countries, but in later years they have found 
their way into K --ope. Their quaint forms and colors bring them more to the fore every year. Their flowering period, 
too, is different: most of them flower early. The “Formosa” flowers only in the middle of May. W r e recommend them 
specially for isolated groups in the rockeries or in front of a border. Plant them about two inches deep.

LOVELY CHRISTMAS MUSCARI ARMENIACUM 
These Anneniacuin descend from the ordinary “Blue Grapes”: the flower bunches are however much larger and of 
a sky blue color. They can be easily brought into flower indoors, but cannot stand too much artificial heat. It is 
therefore advisable to do it slowly and not to try to accelerate growing by hasty methods. Place them first in the 
dark and do not bring them in the light before they have sufficiently developed. The bulbs should be planted 
closely together, the soil he kept moist and loose, hut in no case too QE <h AA 
wet as this causes the bulbs to wither. Per 12 $ —.35, per 100 $ 2.10 Iwi $ '“■WW
