PEARLY QUEEN 4: 
Bearing 2 to 3 flowers on each stem, this star-shaped 
cream-white perianth and clear lemon-yellow short 
trumpet, the distinctly pearly sheen of which pro- 
vides the name, is of drooping habit, free flowering 
and a strong grower. $3.20 per dozen, $25 per 190.

A very beautiful and most effective pure white flower 
which produces from 3 to 4 flowers on a single stem.

are all well-selected bulbs; consisting of many 
varieties. Splendid for naturalizing in woods.

Trade assortment. A good mixture but con- 
sisting of fewer varieties than the above. 90

Narcissus, bearing flowers in clusters. Blooms 
freely for everybody—and is fragrant! cts. per dozen, $6.25 per 100, $60 per 1000. 
HYACINTHS 
In beds or borders. Hyacinths should be planted 4 inches deep from the crown of the bulb to the 
surface of the soil or less, according to size, and about 6 inches apart or more, according to the num- 
ber of bulbs available for a given space. 
The soil should be made moderately firm. After planting, the beds must be mulched over with litter, as 
a protection against severe weather. All varieties listed are suitable for forcing and outside planting. 
For outdoor beds or borders first-size bulbs produce flowers less top-heavy than those from Exhibi- 
tion bulbs. 
Culture in pots. The pots for all bulbs should be well drained, the soil made moderately firm, and a 
little sharp sand dusted under the base of each bulb; then add more soil until one third of the bulb 
appears above the surface. 
After potting the bulbs, the pans may be plunged into a coldframe or in a sheltered spot in the garden. 
They should be covered with several inches of soil and, before severe frost sets in, they should be 
mulched heavily with leaves or straw. They may be lifted after January first, providing the bud is 
already out of the bulb. Bulbs not sufficiently advanced should be left until developed. 
Keep the pans in a dark cool spot until the buds extend sufficiently above the bulb. After the flowers 
are plainly visible they should be kept in a slightly cooler temperature to promote sturdy growth of 
the plants. The flowers should not be exposed to strong sunlight at any time, as they are apt to fade. 
For indoor culture plant exhibition size bulbs of named varieties only.
