Hints on Bulb Culture for Amateurs
HYACINTH GROWING COVERING PRINCIPALLY WINTER AND EARLY SPRING FLOWERING SORTS
IN WATER
HYACINTHS
Directions for Planting in the Open Ground.—This should be done in October and November, but they can be set out at any time, as long as the ground is open and the bulbs remain sound, but early planting always insures good root development and thorough establishment. The best compost for their culture is the following: One-third river sand, one-third well rotted cow manure and one-third good garden mould; or, where the soil is naturally light, well rotted cow manure liberally intermixed is all-sufficient. Special care should be taken not to add any bone fertilizers. as they usually draw vermin. The beds composed of the above compost should be well dug to a depth of fourteen inches, and raised from two to four inches above the level of the walks. The bulbs should be planted evenly about six inches deep (to the bottom of the bulbs) and from five to six inches apart; if planted at uneven depths they will not bloom at the same time, but irregu- larly. Care must be taken not to press the earth too firmly around and over the bulbs; some successful gardeners follow the plan of set- ting each bulb in a handful of clean sand, which insures drainage. After planting, rake the bed smooth, and after the ground has frozen tolerably hard in early winter cover with dry litter, leaves or coarse manure. If this covering be applied before freezing weather it ren- ders the bulbs liable to the predations of field mice.
For Culture in Pots.—Prepare the above compost, adding, if ossible, a quantity of leaf mould, The most favorable time for plant- ing is September, October and November. The size of the pot depends on the number of bulbs planted in a single one; three bulbs in a pot of, say, six inches diameter make a rich, massive effect; one or two bulbs in each may be planted in proportionately smaller pots—two bulbs in each are very effective. In potting, each bulb should remain one-half above the surface of the soil; when thus planted water them well; to imbed the bulbs firmly in the soil, allowing them to remain in this condition one or two days; then bury the pots in the open ground to the depth of six inches for eight weeks, in which condition the preparatory root growth necessary to a vigorous development of their flower spikes is made. After this period take up the pots and remove them to a room not heated, but not so cold as to freeze. Being ex- posed to the light for the first time, they are, of course, very delicate. Care should therefore be exercised not to place them in the direct rays of the sun for two or three days. When about ready to flower bring them to the ordinary living-room, where the warmth will soon cause them ts bloom. By so bringing them out, a few at a time, you can secure a succession of beautiful flowers all winter. They will need oc- casional watering until they begin to grow, when they should have an abundance of air in mild weather and plenty of water.
For Growing in Glasses.—Single varieties are the best for this purpose, as they produce much more satisfactory blooms than the double ones. Place the bulb in the glass, which should be filled with water so it touches the bottom of the bulb, place them in a. close box in a cool place, or on a shelf in the dark part of the cellar, changing the water every ten days or two weeks; keep them in the dark, cool place from six to eight weeks, then remove them to the light (not too strong). If then kept in a cool room they will produce very fine spikes and remain in bloom a loug time.
S.—A small piece of lump charcoal] placed in the water will prevent it from getting foul.
TULIPS
These are most satisfactory for blooming indoors as well as for bedding in the garden. Few bulbs can be had at so little cost that will produce stich splendid results.
For Bedding Out.—The bed should be formed of a compost similar, to that recommended for Hyacinths; the bulbs should be planted about four inches apart and about five inches deep (close planting makes a much finer effect and prevents the flowers breaking off when swaying in the wind}; they should then be covered with a litter shortly before the severe freezing weather sets in, and left in this condition until spring approaches.
For Pot or Pan Culture.-—Plant about four bulbs in a six-inch pot or five bulbs in a six-inch pan, water thoroughly and then remove to the open ground or in a cold frame, covering with coal ashes; after they have rooted thoroughly they should be brought into a moderately cool room and gradually warmer; by bringing in a fresh supply from. the outside every ten days, and by careful treatment, they can be had
in bloom continually. NARCISSUS
One of the most successful bulbs to be grown by the amateur. The double and single trumpet varieties should be planted in soil. For indoor culture, plant in boxes or pots, and treat similar to Hyacinths, Chinese Lilies and Paper White Narcissus, and the Polyanthus types, such as Grand Soleil d’Or, etc., succeed very well and are quite inter- esting if planted in watér and pebbles, as one can watch their progress oi growth. A small lump of charcoal prevents the water from getting foul, although changes of water are advisable.
CROCUS
A real show can be obtained from these tiny bulbs; purchased at so small an expense, the results obtained are wonderful. They will bloom in a few weeks from time of planting inside. Place a few bulbs, or as many as the size of crock wil] warrant, in a receptacle, perfo- rated. In a short space of time the bulb will start to grow and make a grand display. Pianted out in the open ground, they bloom among the first of the spring flowers, coming up through the grass (where they may be planted with little trouble).
LILIES
The Easter Lily is imagined by many hard to succeed with; though handled properly, the trouble is well repaid by beautiful flowers. Plant the bulb in a pot suitable to the size of same, watering same thoroughly; then plunge it outside, until about December 1oth, twelve inches deep in ashes, sand or soil, not giving any more water than naturally received from rainfalls. Then bring it in the house and place in a moderately warm room. Keep as dark as possible, as this somewhat prevents too long a growth of the plant. CALLA LILIES are also an excellent winter flowering plant. Planted in suitable pots inside and given plenty of water, they bloom very freely.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.—When using a dibble, or planting-iron, for making holes in the ground, before inserting the bulbs be sure and
throw a little sand or soil in the opening, to insure proper drainage.
When dibble is plunged in the ground, it packs or compresses the soil ail
around; and when the bulb is inserted, it does not touch the bottom, which provides a space for water to settle, and the bulb cannof root properly. THESE SPECIAL DIRECTIONS ARE FOR OUTSIDE PLANTING OF BULBS.

city squares next springtime.
A force of gardeners was set to work planting the 100,- 000 bulbs of tulips, hyacinths and narcissus.
The main displays will be in Independ-
ence and Logan Squares, but there will be beds in all the Philadelphia Public Parks. Henry F. Michell & Co., 1018 Market Street, have had the City’s contract
for Bulbs for five years. and lowest prices.

Bids are awarded on merit of previous year’s display This firm supplies a number of the principal parks through-
The
dependability of color, luxurious flowering qualities of the Michell importa= tions has given this firm an enviable position and ranks it as one of the largest
importers of bulbs in America.
P.S. We have again been awarded the contract for furnishing the city with LIES for this autumn delivery for next spring’s display.
Testimonial from the City Forester and Landscape Gardener of Philadelphia Office of Bureau of City Property, Ci‘y Hall,
Gentlemen:
Philadelphia, May ro, 1905.
It affords me a great deal of pleasure, and I may add $ratification to once AGAIN bear
testimony to the excelleucy in every point of the bulbs furnished by your house for our City Squares and
Parks.
Our bulbous display has become one of the features of the City, and great numbers come here for
the sole purpose of eximining and admiring the spring treat, as so many term it, copying the designs and the names of varieties of bulbs used. I congratulate you on continued success in obtaining the best
stocks.

DIKECTIONS FOR GROWING HYACINTHS IN WATER.
There is much pleasure derived from growing Hyacinths in water ; select good, large bulbs (single flowering preferred) and place them in the glasses, allowing the water just to touch them, place them in the dark until thoroughly rooted, changing the water every ten days (a small piece of charcoal in the bottom of glass prevents the water from fouling). It is advis- able to use tubes in order to prevent the bulb from 2etting handled, so that when the water is changed, the bulb may be lifted out with tube.

MICHELL’S LATE FLOWERING TULIPS
Few, if any, flowering bulbs have created such admiration, or met with such favor as the late flowering tulips. Their real value has only become known in latter years. It is remarkable with what prominence and brilliancy they stand out after other tulips have long faded away. They usually are at their best the latter part of May. The long slender stems, sometimes two feet, according to variety, on which the flower is supported, elevate them to a height that will permit them to be recognized from a distance ; the odorous scent which they impart to the air is a grand characteristic ; our list embraces the most desirable kinds, and we offer them in collections below to be within the reach of means of <ll flower lovers.

Ne Se is more beautiful than a bed of tulipsin the spring. They are the showiest flower in bloom at that time of the year-
They should be planted in beds of any design, made of a good portion of loam and manure mixed well with the soil; the dis- tance apart should be about fourinches. The bulbs must be planted about four inches deep. A covering of long manure or straw for over winter is very beneficial f\rthe bed. Tulips are also excellent for growing in the house; four or five bulbs to six or seven inch pots, or they can be forced in the greenhouse with good results.

HARDY NARCISSUS
(For outdoor planting)
The Narcissus or Daffodil planted outside, when established and thoroughly Double Tulip Tournesol (Red and Yellow) acclimated, yields abundant returns for the care and money expended on them. They form dense clumps and bloom most profusely. The failure of Narcissus to flower the first year, when planted outside, is attributed to the fact of their necessity of first becoming thoroughly accustomed to the climate and soil, they rarely fail to give good results the second year. Most of the double and singlesorts are perfectly hardy, and need not be disturbed oftener than once in three or four years, and not then unless they have become too much crowded by offsets. Plantin the Fallin good garden soil about three or four inches deep, and four to six inches apart.

Mushrooms from Michell’s English Superior Mushroom Spawn
PURE CULTURE MUSHROOM SPAWN
We have made arrangements to represent the most experienced and reliable maker of Pure Culture Spawn. This brand of spawn is the result of careful and scientific experimenting, being produced in an entirely different manner than the English, the brick of compost being inoculated by the tissues or fibres of finest selected mushrooms and allowed to go through a process of developing in manure before inserting in the bricks at the time of manufacturing. It has promised big returns, having been tested thoroughly and pronounced a perfect success. The spawn is claimed to produce larger, whiter and more abundantly fine quality of mushrooms.
