PARROT TULIP MARGRAVE 
Parrot Tu Ips 
HEIR fringed and corrugated petals with 
their wonderful variation make these old- 
fashioned flowers the most curious of all 
tulips. Flowering at the same time as other 
late sorts; they are entirely distinct from any 
other; the flowers are thick-petaled with extra 
long stems, and keep extremely well after 
being cut. The average height is 15 inches.

YACINTHS are again available for 
gardens. Blossoming with the early 
tulips, they contribute to the spring garden 
fragrance as well as colors which at that time 
no other flowers can give so well. Indeed, it is 
doubtful whether at any time of the garden 
year lovelier true pinks and blues can be 
found than those which hyacinths provide. 
They serve to border paths, near all garden 
architecture, including ornaments such as 
bird baths, pools and fountains, and groups 
of hyacinths may well be worked into the 
border planting, where they will provide a 
needed color foil or accent. 
For garden planting, it is not necessary to 
use the largest forcing sizes. Bulbs of third 
and bedding sizes will do well. Take especial 
care to plant them in well drained soil, and if 
there is any doubt, elevate the bed a few 
inches to keep them above water. Plant bulbs 
six inches deep, and after the ground has 
frozen a light mulch to keep the frost in, 
will benefit.

MAITRE ° 
Hyacinths in Pots 
For Winter Blooming 
IGHT, rich soil produces the best flowers. 
Place each bulb one inch deep, an inch 
and one-half from each other bulb or edge of 
pot. Water well, and set away in a dark, cool 
cellar, or an outdoor pit which is well drained. 
If outside, cover with three or four inches of 
sand or ashes. Let them remain there for 
eight or ten weeks to root, then bring them 
into a warm room, but keep them in the dark 
(cover the pot with a paper bag, cloth, etc.). 
[hen when the flower spike is three or four 
inches out of the bulb, they may be exposed 
to the light, and will open beautifully. 
Exhibition Hyacinths (Mammoth Bulbs) 
These are the bulbs 19 centimeters and 
over listed in the center column on this page. 
They are not recommended for outdoor plant- 
ing but should be used for forcing in glasses, 
or in pots or pans. We have arranged with one 
of our Dutch growers to select these bulbs for 
their ability to give huge spikes of flowers 
suitable for flower shows, or for striking 
decorative effects. 

All shipments of flowering bulbs ordered, 
from this catalogue at dozen or less than 
dozen rates will be prepaid. 
Orders at 100 rate will be shipped by ex- 
press, charges collect, except that special 
offers will be prepaid where it is so specified 
in the offer.
