HOOP PETTICOAT 
DAFFODIL 
Plant about three inches deep in a mixture of sand 
and peat or leafmold, needs plenty of moisture while 
growing but not in summer. 
BULBOCODIUM CONSPICUUS. (1) Rich 
golden yellow flowers with rush-like foli- 
age. Height six inches. 3 for 20c, doz. 60c. 
POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 
Producing clusters of fragrant flowers; not 
recommended for outdoor planting, except in 
mild climates. 
Bulbs of these varieties, grown in pebbles, can be 
had in bloom from Christmas until Easter. Upon ar- 
rival, plant immediately, if wanted early, and put in 
a cool place, free from frost. When well rooted they 
can be taken into heat, the milder the temperature, 
the finer the flowers. For a succession of bloom, 
plant at intervals of two weeks, keeping unplanted 
bulbs in a moderately cool temperature and dry. The 
water requires changing occasionally, a little pow- 
dered charcoal added to the water, helps to keep it 
fresh. The earlier the bulbs are planted, the longer 
the time required for rooting; December plantings 
root very quickly. Soleil d’Or will give best results 
if not brought into heat until buds start to show.

orange cup. Top size bulbs. Each 10c, 
doz. $1.00.
