OUR ‘SPRING * “CATALOGUE ‘REA OY ABOUT JANUARY Ist, 1904 ee tA, ‘* GRIFFITH @ TURNER Co.’S Se BULBS FOR AUTUMN OF 1903 wv For forcing purposes late in the season are not as satisfactory to the grower as when planted early, and the grower is oftentimes in- clined to find fault with the stock. Our early customers are always sure of the best results in selecting varieties from our own direct importation, as they get the stock at its best, and also have the advantage of early planting. ALL BULBS are maiied free at the price named in the Catalogue, except when otherwise noted. PLANTS should be sent by express whenever possi- ble. Of course, in places where there is no Exprsss Office, Plants have to be sent by mail. WE CANNOT, however, send Potted Strawberry Plants by mail. GENERAL DIRECTIONS TO OUR PATRONS: REMITTANCES.—Remit by draft, order or registered letter. Orders from unknown correspondents must be ac- companied with the cash. Address All Orders to GRIFFITH @ TURNER CO. MAIN OFFICE: 205, 207 @ 209 N. Paca Street, Baltimore, Md. GRIFFITH & TURNER CO. gives no warranty, ex= pressed or implied, as to description, quality, produc- tiveness or any other matter of any Seeds, Bulbs or Plants they send out and they will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not ac- cept the goods on these terms, they are at once to be returned. postal money NY good garden soil, well pulver- A ized, is suitable, but good sandy loam. is preferable. A dressing of fine bone meal will be found very beneficial. Plant the large bulbs about four inches below the surface, the smaller bulbs not so deep. The usual time for planting is in October or No- vember, but any time during the win- ter will answer, if the surface only is frozen. After the bulbs are planted, if hard, deep frosts set in, cover with a light litter that may be raked off in the spring. The bulbs will then shoot and flower without further trouble. If early spring should prove dry, water well. The arrangement of the bulbs in the beds is much a mat- ter of taste and situation. They may be planted in rows, in masses, in circles, or half circles. Each color by itself, or divided, or mixed. No matter how ar- ranged, they will always prove interesting and beautiful. After they flower and die down, the bulbs may be allowed to remain in the ground to flower the next season, or if beds are required for other plants may be taken up; soaked in water for about twelve hours, then dried and laid away for replanting. Bulbs are so reason- able in price that it does not pay to keep the old ones, especially as the flowers of the new ones are far superior to the old. MIXED SORTS. HESE are carefully selected, well-ripened bulbs, comprising different shades of the various colors, that will produce fine blooms. If properly treated, they will do well in pots, but are chiefly used for outdoor culture; not to be confounded with the cheap mixtures some- times offered for outdoor planting. How to Cultivate Bulbs.— oy CULTURE of BULBS ; IN POTS OR BOXES. OTS for single bulbs should be twice the diameter of the bulb. The same proportion of room shouid be observed when planting in boxes or in pots holding more than one bulb. The boxes or pots should have proper drainage, so that no wa- ter will lie in the bottom. The soil used should be good, sandy loam, mixed with bone meal. After planting, place the boxes or pets in a dark, cool place for three weeks, until the roots are well started. then gradually bring them to the full light. To Grow Hyacinths in Glasses. ILL the glass with water. Place the bulb in the glass with the bottom touching the water. Place the glass or glasses in a dark, cool place for apout three weeks, or until the roots are three or four inches in length and the flower stem one inch high. After they are brought out and acclimated, the more sunlight they get the better. As the water evaporates it must be renewed and changed as often as it } becomes discolored or impure. When SOR YM) //' the flower bud begins to swell, the water may be brought higher up on the bulb. The tem- perature.should be as even as possible. A few drops of harts- horn in the water will help the bloom. SINGLE. Per Per Doz. Per Doz. by mail. 100. ROMAN HYACINTHS. White, all shades.....$0 50 $065 $3 50 When Ordering By Mail, Add 10c.

HIS is a variety of Polyanthus Narcissus, grown by the Shinese from time immemorial to decorate their sacred temples or joss houses on their New Year’s Day, which occurs in February. By methods of culture original to them, they succeed in growing large, solid bulbs, which- produce a profusion of bloom in an incredibly short time; usually not more than four to six weeks from the time of planting. The growth of foliage is exceedingly plentiful and luxuriant and of a dark green color, which, surmounted by a wealth of large, satiny white flowers with golden yellow cups, lends to the whole an aspect of tropical magnifi- cence of which the eye never wearies. This splendid flow- er increases in pop- ularity every year, and immense quan- tities of bulbs are annually imported into this country. CULTURE. Being partially aquatic, this plant must have plenty of water. If grown in soil, make itlight and sandy, but they are usually grown in vases or dishes of water. Put an inch or two of sand and gravel in the dish in which they are to be grown, set the bulbs on this, and put enough gravel around them tokeep from falling over; fill the dish with water and set in a dark closet for a few daysuntil the roots start freely ; then bring to the light and keep in any ordinary living room. Adozen bulbs started this way at intervals will give asuccessionof bloom throughout the winter. Chinese Sacred Lily. The Bulbs offered by us are the true Chinese, large, solid, and well matured, which are superier to those grown else- where. PRICE.

HEN grown in pots, the best soil is sandy peat, but they will flower finely in a light. rich mixture. It is advis- able to begin with the smallest size pot in which the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger and larger pots as the plant progresses, and un- til the flower buds ap- pear, when, of course, no further shifting should be done, A cool temperature suits the best, and the plants should be liberally watered during the period of growth and flowering.

Work the soil until well pulverized, and have the surface as level as possible, so that the grass may present an even appear- ance. After sowing, cover seed lightly and follow with roller. The best results are obtained by using plenty of seed, four bushels to the acre being about the right quantity. One quart is sufficient for 300 square feet. Let the grass obtain a good start before cutting, and then it should be trimmed with a lawn mower about every ten days. Old lawns may be improved and renewed by the application of fertilizers and seeding about half the quantity of seed required for new lawns. This should be done whenever they show any thin places.

The cultivation of the mushroom is a very simple matter, and requires only ordinary intelligence and care. The materials needed are fresh horse manure, good soil, and live spawn. The manure should not he too short, as it does not combine the necessary qualities. Long, strawy litter, plen- tifully mixed with short manure, makes by far the best beds, as it does not heat too violently, decomposes slowly, and retains its heat for a long period.
