attached and placed. It opens 8 on a tall straight

hybridizing. The list of varieties recommended of course is out of date. But the list in any book 
very soon becomes obsolete as every year new varieties are coming along and others passing out. 
PRICE $1.75—Or given with a $20.00 order of bulbs, if you ask for it and if you haven’t already 
received a copy.

on flower arrangement. Contains 217 illustrations. Many in color. PRICE $4.95.
