HOW 10 GROW BULBo.
A Few Hints on Their Culture.
Bulbs as Winter Bloomers.
No other class of plants are more sure to grow and bloom, have greater beauty or fragrance, require so little care or give greater satisfaction in the window
garden in winter, than those grown from many of the fall bulbs.
Treatment of Bulbs in Pots.
For early flowers most varieties should be

« (ye
Time.—May be done any time from the last of September to the first of January, where the ground remains unfrozen, but, if possible, should be done in October or early in November.
Soil.—Any good thoroughly drained soil will grow bulbs well. If it should be a heavy clay it would be best to add sand and well rotted manure to make it loose. The surface of beds should be slightly raised at the center so that water will run off quickly, as bulbs are liable to rot if water remains on the beds any length of time.
Winter Protection—Before winter sets in cover the beds with 4 to 6 inches of leaves, if they can be had; if not, coarse manure or straw will do very well. If leaves are used, throw on a little brush or earth to prevent blowing off. In the South, where the ground does not freeze more than a slight crust, they will require no protection. In the spring, say March Ist, remove half of the covering, and the bal- ance of it as soon as plants begin pushing through.
Depths and Distances for Planting —The rows should be from 6 to 12 inches apart, and the bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep, according to size of bulb.
Hyacinths in Glasses—Grown in this way Hya- cinths are elegant ornaments for the sitting room or parlor, and can be grown with very little trouble. Fill the glasses with water so that the base of the bulbs will just touch it; set them away in a cool, dark cellar or closet until the roots have touched the bottom of the glasses, when they may be brought to the light.
potted in September, and for a succession of Y, flowers at intervals up to December. A very
Jax ; good soil for the growth of bulbs is com- Ail posed of one-half good garden soil, and the remainder equal parts of well rotted manure or leaf mould and sand well mixed together. We can supply potting soil in any desired quantity. See page 29. The size of pots used depends on the size of bulbs and effects de- sired. For one Hyacinth bulb a 5-inch pot should be used; for Tulips use 4-inch pots. A very pretty effect is produced by putting three or more Hya- cinths or six or more Tulips of different colors in a 7-inch or 8-inch pot. Narcissus require about the same size pot as Hyacinths. Other bulbs likewise, according to size.
In potting, fill the pots to the rim with soil, press the bulbs into it until they are covered, then press down the soil around the sides of the pot, then thor- oughly soak the soil and pot in water. The pots should now be placed in a cool, dark situation, so as to encourage a strong growth of roots before the bulbs start at the top. A very good place is a cool cellar, or a trench may be dug in the open ground, and the pots placed in it and covered with six or eight inches of soil; then cover over that with suf- ficient leaves or coarse manure to keep out frost, so they may be got at when wanted. If set in the cellar, they will need a little water every ten days to pre- vent getting dry. They should also be protected from mice and rats. In six or eight weeks they will have made sufficient root to admit of their being brought to the light. As they begin to grow, water freely, so that the soil may be moistened to the bot- tom of the pots. By. bringing in a few at intervals of eight or ten days, a succession of flowers may be had for months. When brought into the window they should be kept near the light, but not in the sun any great length of time; a temperature between 50 and 60 degrees is desirable.

They can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen or more pots started at intervals they can be brought in a few pots at a time, thereby keeping up a continucus display of bloom throughout the winter. The flowers are produced 6 to § on stems about 9 inches high, and are very useful for cutting, remaining in good condition, if kept in water, for two weeks.

HYACINTHS
Are rightly given a large space in catalogues on account of their great popularity. Their pretty flower spikes are a sure reward for perhaps a dozen different ways of culture, and will bloom at any time (if properly planted) between early December and late in May.
Planted outdoors they are one of our earliest and prettiest spring flowers.
For windows in winter they are almost indespensable.
The colors and forms suit all tastes—rich dark crimson tints, purple and red, or soft tones of pink, blue and primrose, ivory of pure white.
The Roman Hyacinths are the perfection of lightness and grace, while the heavy, rich flower-stalks of the Dutch Hyacinths are often so large as to require staking.
Single Hyacinths,

These are, under any method of culture, more easily grown than the double ones, and produce larger and more flower spikes. They are especially preferable for growing in pots or vases of water. Named varieties should always be used to obtain the best results, especially for the house, as they are not only chosen for large size but distinct- ness of colors. We do not hesitate to offer our bulbs as strictly first- class, as we import them direct from Holland, and do not try to com- pete with prices of common graded bulbs. The named varieties be- low are the very best selections.

KENTIA BELMOREANA(
NEW LEMON.
AIMERICAN WONDER. (Ponderosa. )
This new variety of Lemon has had a great run during the past season, and every one seems to be pleased with it. It makes a splendid pot plant, as its glossy, dark-green, leathery leaves are not only very ornamental but fragrant. If it never produced either blossoms or fruit it would still be of great value as an ornamental plant—equal to the palms, rubbers, etc. It stands rough usage and even neglect, and still look well. In size and fragrance its flowers excel the orange blossoms; are bourne in immense pure-white clusters, remaining some time before falling. A plant in bloom, will fill the house with fragrance. It begins to bear fruit when quite small, as we have had them in fruit when not over 18 inches high. On large trees, 5 to 6 feet high, the fruit is often of immense size, some specimens weighing 4 pounds, while the average would be fully half that weight. The rind is very thin for such large fruit. The fruit is very juicy, makes delicious lemonade—in fact is not excelled by any other variety for fine flavor. It is an everbearing variety, as there are blossoms and fruit in all stages of development to be seen on many of the older specimens.

PALMS.
All Palms sent by express, purchaser paying charges, unless otherwise noted.
Palms will do well with little or no direct sunshine, and can be placed about the house with little regard to it, for the greater part of the time. Water thoroughly but not too often. A good garden ‘loam with some rotten sod or leaf mold mixed in it is best for them. In summer or when confined to dry furnace heat a daily sprayiig is good; otherwise once a week will do. We have grown the kinds offered especially for use in the home, and they are good, strong, healthy plants. No other plant is more ornamental, or adds a more refined influence than a few palms. With ordinary care they will last for years. We will repot them at small cost to anyone near us. Our Palm Tubs, offered on another page, are best for them.

PHOENIX RECLINATA.
A fine decorative palm; one of the finest vase plants, particularly for outdoor decoration. It is of very robust habit, and very easily grown. Will not burn under the hottest sun, and stands whipping by summer storms without marring its beauty. Very effective when plant- ed in earthen vases, and in this way is particularly ornamental for dec- orating court yards, verandas, etc. This is the palm that was used so largely in vases throughout the grounds of the World’s Fair. It thrives under more unfavorable conditions than any other palm, for which reason it is particularly adapted for hallways or other positions where other palms would not exist. Plants from‘{5-inch pots, $1.00; from 6-inch pots, $1.75; from 7-inch pots, $2.50.

FOUR HARDY CLIMBING ROSES
POSTPAID, EACH, 15C; 4 FOR 40C.
It may be well to give the caution that Climbing Roses do not require the close annual pruning that the Hybrid Perpetuals need, nor will they submit to
it and produce flowers. The long shoots or canes of the climbers bear short side branches, on which the flowers are borne, and the plants are capable of bear- ing great numbers of flowers annually; these side- growths are therefore to be encouraged. Cut out alJ old canes and cut back to the side shoots for renewal,
Baltimore Belle—Pale blush, shading to rose; dou- ble flowers in clusters.
HARDY ROSES.
Prairie Queen—Extra fine, free bloomer, flowers large, bright rose, sometimes striped white. De- servedly popular.

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN,-—It is told very accurately in our 32-page booklet, *‘Grass Talks.” tail, from the preparation of the soil, the time to sow, the quantity of seed needed, to the finished jlawn, is told that no mistakes can be made. Itis sent free to customers. 20 cents per copy to others.
Livingston’s Capital Lawn Seed Mixture
We have made the subject of Lawns a study for many years and this mixture has been prepared and sold by us in all parts of the country, giving general satisfaction.
In making a lawn great care should be taken to use only the very best quality of suitable lawn seed so as to produce a soft velvety evergreen sod.
Our mixture weighs about 20 pounds to the measured bushel and is not surpassed by any on the market.
Quantity of Seed Required to Sow an Acre (48,560 sq. ft.) For new lawns, not less than four bushels; for renovating old lawns, from one to two bushels.
A pound of our mixture will sow about 500 square feet.
Prices:—First Quality, per lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00: 1 bu., $3.50; 2 bu., $6.50; 5 bu., $15.00. If to go by mail, add to the above prices 10c per pound for postage.
Livingston’s Lawn Seed Mixture can be had with or without White Clover, as customers prefer.
Our Lawn Grass Mixture for Shady Situations.
On pa pt Bla lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly spots on which the owners have difficulty in getting a stand of grass; for such places this mixture is egies . Should the ground have become “‘sour,”’ or drainage defective, it is apt to be covered with moss. If such is the case apply some lime or land plaster to sweeten it, after first removing the moss, then rake ae and sow the seed at the rate of not less than four bushels per acre. Price, pound, 40c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; bu., $6.50. If to go by mail, add to the above price 10c per pound for postage.
Golf Links Mixture.
We make a mixture of grasses suit- able to the purposes of the Golf Links, as it will stand rough usage. We can also make up any desired mixture if formula is submitted. Let us name you prices on our own or your mix- ture.
Kentucky Blue Grass.
Many prefer plain Blue Grass to a mixture, and it cannot be denied that it produces a beautiful and lasting lawn. It takes longer, how- ever, to get it established. Price, (Fancy clean seed), pound, 30c; 3 lbs., 60c; bu. (14 Ibs.), $2.00. If to go by mail, add to the above price 10c per pound for postage.

White Dutch Clover.
The very best variety for lawns, as it forms a close herbage, never gets so high that the mower cannot be used, and remains green throughout the season. Sow in spring at the rate of 5 pounds per square acre when sown alone, half the quanti- ty when sown with other grasses. (Bu. 35c; 10 Ib., $3.00; $25.00. If to go b add 10c per pound age.
Wood Meadow Grass—(Poa nemoralis)—For lak or WHITE CLOVER. pleasure grounds; of early growth; thrives well under trees. Sow 2 bushels per acre. (Bu. 14 lbs.) Lpb., 65c.
Rhode Island Bent Grass—(Agrotis canina)—Valuable for lawns. Sow 3 or 4 bushels to the acre for lawn; for ayia sow 1% to 2 bushels. (Bu. 12 lbs.) Lb. 35c; 10 Ibs., $2.60.
LAWN FERTILIZER.
Old and new lawns require stimulating after the long dra through winter, or in the fall after the season of cutting an the heat of summer. Bone Meal we have found, after years of experience and tests, to be the best adapted to the wants of the lawn. It should be sown broadcast, from the middle of February to first of May in spring and from September to November in the fall at the rate of 600 to 800 pounds per acre, according to condition of lawn. In provaring a new

MICA-CRYSTAL CRIT.
Mica-Crystal Grit is made from rock of peculiar formation, composed partly of quartz, and partly of mica, thus forming what is termed a flaky rock, which, when subjected to pres- sure, will scale or flake, in the gizzard, thus coustantly re- sharpening themselves until they are entirely used up. It is absolutely necessary to the health of fowels that grit be sup- plied at all times; and this is especially true where they are confined or when snow is on the ground. We supply it in two sizes, for chicks or grown fowls, at the same Tange of prices. Bags (100 lbs.) 76c; 50 Ibs., 50c; 25 Ibs., 35c; 15 Ibs., 25c; 500 Ibs., $3.50; by express or freight.

CUT FLOWER DEPARTMENT.
HE growing demand for Cut Flowers, coupled with the growth of this branch of our business, has led us to make more extensive preparations for handling Cut Flowers. Wemakeita point to have in stock all the new and latest flowers in their seasons, and can fill almost any sized order on short notice. We prefer that parties wish— ing flowers give us as much time as possible in which to fill their orders. We ship Flowers and Floral
Designs safely within four hundred miles, and, as Columbus is centrally located, should reach destination in a few hours after leaving here. This department is in capable hands, and we are prepared to fill all orders, whether they be large or small. 2
All our flowers are grown by ourselves, with the exception of some kinds. and these we have placed with com- petent growers who furnish nothing but first-class stock. A trial order will convince you.
How to Order.—If you wish to purchase a Floral Design for funeral or other purpose, telegraph or telephone vs, or write if you have time, stating what kind of design you want, how much you wish to pay for the same, and we will fill accordingly, always giving the customer full value for money sent. If you are thinking of giving a party, or intend getting married. and will want some flowers, (which, of course, are necessary articles at a wedding), send to us for prices and ideas. Weare always in position to quote lowest prices on first-class stock.
Remittance.—To insure quick delivery cash should accompany all orders, otherwise we would have to send same C, O. D , which sometimes causes delay.
