CACTUS 
ASSORTED CACTI —small plants 35c, or one dozen several 
varieties postpaid for $2.50, or 100 for $18. 
When you are in Richmond you are especially invited to come 
to see my personal collection of fancy cacti from parent 
plants imported from all over the world. I am not listing 
this stock as it is my personal hobby, though I do occasionally 
let a plant go to my friends. Here you will see Old Men worth 
$150 each and the Finest Leninghausii in America—18 inch 
high with 18 heads. Naturally such specimen stock isn't for 
sale, but we are always glad to show them and we do have 
smaller plants. 
XMAS CACTUS —make beautiful presents. We have tiny plants 
from 15c up. People usually select about a $1.50 plant 
around 10—12 in. branched and ready to bloom. Other large 
specimen plants at $5, and $7.50. 
EASTER CACTUS— this we imported a year ago—have a few 
small grafted plants now at $2.50 each. Similar to Xmas 
Cactus, except it is orange instead of red and blooms at 
Easter instead of Christmas.

A FEW REMARKS ABOUT PLANTING BULBS 
When planting Tulip bulbs always remember that deep plant- 
ting is preferable to shallow setting, especially so with the Dar¬ 
win Tulips. The long flower stems have to be strong and deep 
planting will give them better support. WATER after planting. 
If you can, use cow manure when planting them. Sheep ma¬ 
nure is also good but must be kept away from the bulbs. After 
setting, give them a thorough watering. Bonemeal is also very 
good. 
TULIP —bulbs should be in the ground before December to give 
the best results. 
Plant Ranunculus and Anemones in well drained, sandy soil, 
in semi-shady places, and after planting leave them pretty well 
alone. Be careful in watering—they do not stand over-water¬ 
ing; it makes them rot. 
DAFFODILS —and Narcissus should be left in the ground for a 
number of years, but just as soon as they begin to show de¬ 
cline in flowering it will be best to take them up, separate 
and replant them. 
Bear this in mind, that satisfactory results with bulbs are 
only obtained if planted in thoroughly prepared ground, well fer¬ 
tilized, and planted in early season. Order early.—Say Sept. 
Last but not least, buy good bulbs. 
GLADIOLI —These also require deep planting or they will 
fall over with the weight of the stem pulling the bulb out of 
the ground. We like to plant the large bulbs covering them 
with 6 in. of soil, that means a trench 7 in. to 8 in. deep— 
some plant in an 8 in. trench filling it in gradually as they 
start hoeing and cultivating. The small bulblets we plant, 
covering 1 T ,X to 2 in. deep. 
Please note—for large planting of DARWIN TULIPS, HY- 
CIANTHUS, DAFFODILS —we can furnish smaller bulbs for 
half the price quoted for the following larger bulbs—of 
course they will not throw as long a stem nor any way near, 
but if planted early—say Sept., should all throw good sized 
blooms and for only half the money.
