HYACINTHS HOLLAND BULBS

Hyacinths with their wondrous beauty and delightful fragrance are here again from Holland. Can be arranged in borders or formal beds or can be grown indoors in pots or glasses.

CULTURE—The bulbs may be planted almost at any time from October until the ground is frozen solid, but it is advisable to purchase early before our stocks are depleted. They succeed in any good, well-drained gar- den soil, which should be well spaded, and will do bet- ter if some bone meal is mixed through it.

Set the bulbs so that the tops will be between three and four inches below the surface and six to ten inches apart. Pack a little sand under about them if it is con- venient, being careful that no fertilizer comes in direct contact with the bulbs.

HARDY OUTDOOR BULBS

Fall Flowering Bulbs COLCHICUM

Colchicum are auumn-flowering bulbs with large Cro- cus-like blossoms which appear during the months of September and October, without foliage. The foliage, -however, appears early in the spring about the same time the Tulips and Hyacinths are in bloom and disap- pears in June. They are especially recommended for planting between the taller growing rock plants. AUTUMNALE MAJOR—A large variety with massive

flowers of rosy purple. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00; dozen,

$3.60.

CROCUS Fall Flowering

Are very similar to the spring flowering crocus only that they flower in the fall; are perfectly hardy and bloom after most all summer flowers are gone.

ZONATUS—Rose-lilac, yellow center and orange zone; ethereal in lovely coloring. Doz., 75c: 100, $5.50.

CHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow)

These are among the most beautiful of our spring- flowering bulbs, coming into bloom soon after the snow is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when once planted requires no further care. Looks best when planted in lines or clumps.

LUCILLAE—Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color with white center. Doz., 60c; 100, $4.00.

MUSCARI

GRAPE HYACINTHS—Flower in Early May

GRAPE HYACINTH

HEAVENLY BLUE—While there are several kinds of Muscari, we consider this variety the best for mass planting. Their flowers open just about the time that the Chionodoxas and Crocuses are going. They do very well in the wild garden and also in the grass if it is not too rank. They are nice under trees and along the borders where they may be left undisturbed. Dozen, 65c; 100, $4.50.

Flower in March

Regardless of snow or cold, rain or shine these little flowers will come forth in March and bloom before any- thing else has hardly started. The first signs of spring after a dreary winter; plant among shrubbery and rock- ery, once planted will come every March.

CROCUS

SPRING FLOWERING

These are the cheerful messengers of Early March Winds. After the long winter months we look anxiously for the first sign of spring blossoms and these are in the great majority of times the ones that reward our pa- tience. Peeping, as they often do, through the last snows of the season, we are always glad to accord them a welcome that seems to be in itself sufficient reward.

GALANTHUS (Snowdrops—Hardy)

These are particularly effective under hedges, under cedar trees and in thin woodland. They are the first to open in the spring and are very lovely.

Each, 60c; 3 for $1.65; Dozen, $6.00.

tinted flowers on long, leaf-wrapped stems. Doz.,. $1.00; per 100, $7.50.

NARCISSUS OR DAFFODILS

CULTURE: The Narcissus thrives best if planted in a cool, moist soil, with good drainage. A small amount of sand under each bulb will provide all the drainage necessary. Like the tulip, it is very susceptible to fertilizer, and no stable manure should come in contact with the bulb. Bone Meal only should be used.

Plant about six inches deep and the same distance apart, and excellent results will be had. The double and single Narcissus are equally hardy, and need not be disturbed for three or four years.

PRICES ON GRASS SEEDS

The quality of Blue Grass Seed is determined by the weight per measured bushel; the heavier the seed the better the germination and purity. With the aid of new, modern cleaning machinery, seed that will weigh 21 lbs. Standard Heavy Seed, 24 lbs. Extra Heavy Seed, and 28 Ibs. Super fine seed, to the measured bushel can now be had. Seed that weighs less than 21 lbs. to the bushel is not fit for lawn sowing, on account of the low germination and weed seed contained.

PLEASE NOTE: The chaff and light seed and weeds that is cleaned out of Blue Grass is sold to some dealers, who advertise it as “BLUE GRASS” at ridiculously low prices. Do not be attracted by these offers, as there is no seeding value whatever in this off fall from good seed.

QUANTITY OF SEED TO USE

ON NEW OR RECONDITIONED LAWNS: Use one pound to each two hundred square feet and sixty to one hun- dred pounds to the acre.

RESEEDING OLD LAWNS: One pound to each three or four hundred square feet and thirty or fifty pounds to the acre.
