Narcissus—both short cup and daffodil types—naturalized for permanent effect in Massachusetts. 
SECTION I 
BULBS and ROOTS for AUTUMN 
ANY plants that have bulbous or fleshy roots are safely planted in fall only. 
We have on the next five pages concentrated on the few best kinds of each 
class in quantity production. About 90% of the total different effects of ten thou- 
sand confusing names are covered in these carefully chosen lists! The result is 
easy, intelligent selection by you. 

Due to extreme labor 
shortage, there is not 
now available the usual 
list of named varieties 
of Tulips and Narcissus. 
We offer what we are 
sure we can _ furnish, 
only. Possibly in late 
September will have a 
more compete list. 

Blooming date:— 
BULBS for NATURALIZING 
It is not generally realized how many kinds of bulbs may be 
permanently planted—to last for a decade or more if properly set 
out, giving a yearly show of bloom. It may be said that there are 
two kinds of bulbs—those which die out or split each year, allow- 
ing a new bulb to form for the following season’s bloom; and 
those which are permanent, sending up a flower every season 
from the same bulb. The first group can not well be naturalized, 
chiefly tulips, usually replanted every year or two. The second 
group is characteristic of the Narcissus, which provided there 
is any food at all will remain permanently, and are easily 
naturalized.
