Indoor Winter Flowering Bulbs 
The bulbs offered on this and the next page are easily grown for winter 
blooming in the greenhouse, the conservatory, or in any room where tempera- 
ture and moisture can be controlled to suit the plants. They are not hardy so 
must be grown indoors except in frost-free locations. In addition to those 
listed on these pages, the following hardy bulbs are also fine for winter 
blooming: Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Chionodoxa, Scillas, Grape Hyacinths, Crocus 
and Dutch Iris. Other varieties, not hardy in cold sections, make beautiful 
pot plants for indoor growing: Anemone, Ornithogalum, Ranunculus and Poly- 
anthus Narcissus. Cultural directions are sent with the bulbs.

6-in. pot; place bulb loosely in rich, porous soil so that it is barely 
covered and the soil gently but firmly set. Keep in a cool, dark but 
airy place, free from frost, until bulbs are well rooted; afterward 
bring to the light and grow on in a temperature of not more than
