the Summer and Autumn; bears gorgeous lily-like flowers which open a 
bright yellow, changing to a deep scarlet. Needs a rich, loamy soil, some 
tie training, and 60° to 65° ; otherwise it is quite easy to grow. 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. 
TUBEROS3 - Deliciously scented, large, double creamy-white flowers, thick wax- 
like texture on long, strong stems; blooms in Summer and early Fall. In Spring 
plant 2 or 3 in a 5" pot. Soil must be loam with plenty of sand added for good 
drainage. Put the pots directly into a temperature of 65° to 70° and water the 
soil at once. When growth begins, cool the plants dov/n very gradually to about 
55° to 60°. Here, in plenty of light they should develop normally. Great care 
must be paid to watering, for should the soil dry out, the plants will immedi¬ 
ately suffer, and probably never recover. We offer only selected, goodly sized 
bulbs, 4" to 6” in size.$1.00 per doz.; $6.50 per 100 
PLANTS 
ANTIRRHINUM . Ordinary "garden variety" Snapdragons will not bloom indoors dur¬ 
ing Winter. We list only the special forcing varieties for winter blooming un¬ 
der glass. - They like cm airy, sunny house, about 6 ft. of headroom, at least 
4" of porous, sifted sod soil that contains no fresh monure, and 45° to 55° . 
Keep them free from rust by a tight roof overhead, and in Winter, slip the wa¬ 
tering pot ( without the rose) or the hose betv/een the plants, so as to avoid 
wetting the foliage. Water only in the morning. If they must be sprayed to at¬ 
tack greenfly, do it in the forenoon so the foliage drys before nightfall. You 
will have flowers all Winter if you allow ample room between the plants, about 
10" X 10" being good. Procure small plants in August or September, and put out 
on the benches immediately. Keep off all superfluous grov^th. At the bottom of 
the plants, in the axils of the flower stalks, new shoots v/ill appear; - pinch 
them out. Otherv/ise they will take the strength from the blossoms, which v^on’t 
develop nicely, and the flower heads v/ill be very small. The plants will begin 
to bloom in November. Provide supports early. They will remain in flov^er until 
Spring if after the first heavy crop (January) they are thinned out, all small 
v^eak growth is removed, and the soil surface is lightly cultivated and given a 
good top-dressing of well rotted manure and soil. Deliveries August said later:
