T Tf T*> Q For Outdoor Spring Planting 
Jj WJ Lji 13 O and Indoor Winter Planting 
Everyone succeeds in growing flowers from bulbs, and with very little care excellent results may be ob¬ 
tained. The hardy bulbs, when once planted, will live outdoors for years without being disturbed. The most 
of the tender varieties, if taken up and given a period of rest, may be re-planted each year and, handled in 
this way, the previous year’s display will be repeated. A good supply of bulbs may be obtained at very little 
expense. Directions for planting go with each order for bulbs.
