BULBS 
For Outdoor Spring Planting 
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.
