are easier to grow and surer to bloom than those produced by bulbs, whether grown in ANG pots or boxes in the houses during the winter,
or planted in the open ground for early spring blooming, |
the simplest culture being awarded by vigorous growth and abundant flowers.
Crocus, Scillias, Snowdrops, if planted in the fall
in sunny locations will in the spring produce their fine |
colored flowers usually before the snow is gone from the more secluded spots in early March; and during April and May the same beds may be made brilliant and charm- ing by the lovely Hyacinths, Tulips, Daffodils, etc., which make a display of floral beauty rarely equalled.
For Out-of-Doors Planting the sooner after the first of October the bulbs are in the ground the better will be the results in the flowering when spring comes.
Shipments can be made in September with nearly all the bulbs, except a few sorts that are not sufficiently matured, and which cannot be shipped until Noy ember. Among the late sorts we mention the follow ing; viz. Iris Kempferi, Lily of the Valley, Lilies. for these are included with orders for earlier sorts, it is our custom to forward such as are ready, and make a separate shipment of the later sorts. Should our cus- tomers prefer to have us make but one shipment, we will hold all and send when later bulbs are received.

SGLVACINTHS [-
First see that your ground
GARDEN is properly spaded and plenty
of stable manure or fertilizer CULTURE put on. Plant in any good
garden soil about Oct. 1, and place the bulbs about six inches apart and four inches below the surface, if in light, sandy soil, and if heavy, clayey soil, four inches is better. After the ground has frozen one or two inches, cover with old leaves about six inches, and be sure that at least a foot either side of bed is covered. If leaves are not convenient, cover with anything you have and place boards over to keep from blowing away. Inthe spring, on the approach of warm COPYRIGHTED 189k. weather, the covering should be gradually removed, as the plants will be above ground before the frost is out of unprotected places. To guard against injury from late frosts, a covering of some sort should be in readiness to puton. The size of your flower will depend largely on the richness of the soil.
There is no bulb that is more easily managed or gives better satisfaction when grown in pots
CULTURE than the hyacinth. Select solid bulbs without regard to size for this purpose, and place a single
bulb in a five-inch pot filled with any good potting soil; a light, rich soil is preferable; remove a
IN POTS small quantity: from the center, and place the bulb in firmly, but do not have the soil hard beneath
it, leaving about one-third of the bulb visible. After potting, give them a good watering and set
away in some cool, dark place, and cover six or eight inches with soil or coal ashes, that the moisture may be
retained and the frost or heat excluded. Leave in this condition until Dec. 1, and then for a succession of blooms,
bring to the light some every two weeks, bearing in mind that they should not be placed directly in the sun at first,
as they will need several days to get acclimated to the new atmosphere. The bulbs should be selected and potted as early as possible to obtain the best results.
For this purpose select the largest and heaviest bulbs and place in the glasses filled with
CULTURE IN _ water enough to just touch the bulb, then place the glass in a cool, dark place until the roots touch the bottom of the glasses, then bring to light, bearing in mind that they never should be
GLASSES placed where the full rays of the sun would come direct on the glass, as it would have a tendency to warm the water to a degree which would injure the roots and produce an inferior
flower. The window-sash is the worst place that one can put them. Always select single-flowering varieties for the

This beautiful and valuable variety, if planted early in September and gently forced, will bloom in November, or their flowering may be retarded until Christmas by keeping them in a cool place. By succes- sive plantings they may be had in bloom until March, being thus very useful for florists. The flowers, which are smaller than the ordinary Hyacinth, are produced in great profusion, each bulb throwing up three or four spikes of delicately-scented, clear, white blossoms. For a good effect, from three to five bulbs should be planted in a medium-sized pot.

For growing in pots, pans or boxes for winter flowering they are grown with excellent satisfaction. The flowers are smaller than the ordinary Hyacinths; each bulb will produce several spikes of flowers; if planted early may be had in flower at Christmas. Ten or twelve bulbs are planted in earthen pans eight or nine inches across. When several of these pans are filled and put away they can be brought to light at different times and thus have a continuous bloom.

GRAPE HYACINTHS.
An extremely pretty family of flowers, some- times called ‘‘ Blue Lily of the Valley”; entirely bardy, they will adapt themselves to the soil and situation as naturally as grass. A few bulbs will rapidly increase and produce each spring a mass of lovely bloom. For winter blooming they give great satisfaction; a few bulbs planted in a five-inch pot and treated the same as Hyacinths will produce a lovely potful of flowers.

OR the ornamentation of the conservatory and sitting- room during the winter and spring months, the Tulip stands unrivalled, bothas regards its rich and diver-
sified colors, easy culture and accommodating habits.
Like the Hyacinth, it will thrive in almost any soil or
situation, and under almost any circumstances.
For out-of-doors, plant in October and November, and even in December, should the weather be open and favorable, about 4 to 6 inches apart, according to the size of the bulbs; the crown of the bulbs should be3 or 4 inches under the surface. The same soil, etc., as for Hyacinths will suit them well. They should be protected during severe weather by branches of evergreen, or covering of straw or leaves about 3 inches thick. £3>-Tulips are delivered free in the United States at the single and dozen price, but by the hundred purchaser pays transit. f

NARCISSUS...
...OR DAFFODILS
HE Narcissus has more points of real merit than any other hardy plant, and until recently the possibilities of this family have not been brought out. The florists now use these in large quantities. They are equally well adapted for the conservatory, sitting-room or flower-garden, so that however limited the collec-
tion of plants may be, if there is not in it a fair proportion of this delightful flower it will be deficient of a most essential ornament. The culture is the same as the Hyacinth. See page 3.
We deliver in the United States all Narcissus free at single and dozen price. By the hundred purchaser pays transit.

CHINESE NARCISSUS (Sacred Lily of China)
The ‘‘ Shui Sin Far,” ‘‘ Joss Flower,”’ or ‘‘ Flower of the Gods,” etc., as it is called by the Celestials, is a variety of Narcissus, easily grown and blooms freely, bearing a very sweet-scented flower of silvery-white, with golden-yellow cups.
Use shallow dishes about three inches deep, into which put about one inch of gravel. Set the bulbs on this and fill in with small stones, to keep them upright, and keep the dish full of water. It is not necessary to put the bulbs in the dark, but if kept shaded until the leaves begin to grow better results may be obtained. Although they will succeed in any prdinary room, it is necessary for them to be kept away from gas, as it causes the flow- ers to blast.

22+ AMARYLLIS <<=
A beautiful class of plants, with large, drooping, bell-shaped, lily-like flowers, varying in color from the richest crimson to pure white, striped with crimson or scarlet, They are of the easiest possible culture, and few flowers give a better return in the shape of lasting and showy bloom for the limited amount of labor involved in their cultivation. With a very small stock of bulbs they can be had in flower at almost any season of the year by starting them in succession. A compost consisting of equal parts of good turfy loam, leaf-mould, ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM. well-decayed manure and sharp sand answers best. From the time they are started, water should be given very carefully, and not in too great quan- tities, When the foliage begins to decay, water should be gradually withheld until it has quite died down, when the bulbs may be stored away (in the pots), in any dry, cool place, safe from frost, until their flowering season comes again. The evergreen varieties, which do not die down, should be kept in a growing state, and shifted into larger pots as they require it.

ot ARU Roncan FLOWER.
The Arums are remarkable and handsome plants, with fine foliage and curious in- florescence, more or less enclosed in a hooded spathe, which is generally richly colored and marked. ‘They are hardy, and easily grown in any soil.
A. Sanctum (Slack Calla) is strictly a winter bloomer, and will bloom no other time. Its flowers are enormous, fully a foot in length; color, clear coal black, so intense that it really shows a brilliancy, and as may well be imagined, it is a flower of the most striking oddity and beauty. The bulbs are large and should be potted in the fall, and when growth commences set in a window. After blooming the foliage will die down and the bulb should be kept dry for plant- ing again in the fall. (See cut.) Price of large flowering bulbs, 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen.
A. Dracunculus (Dragon Arum). (See cut on first page.) Flowers one foot long, purple, red and black, blue; stem beautifully marbled, leaves hand- some, resembling a small palm; a rapid grower, making a curious and ornamental pot plant. 15 cents each; $1.50 per dozen.
CALLAS
White (4¢hiopica). The well- known Calla Lily is one of the best plants for parlor culture. Its growth is stately, the flower showy, exceedingly fragrant, and freely produced. A commendable feature is that it effectually resists all the injurious effect which gas and furnace heat generally inflict on our floral pets. The requisites for successful culture are rich soil, plenty of water and potroom, Extra large, 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen.
ARUM SANCTUM (BLACK CALLA).
Black Calla (Avwn Sanctum), is strictly a winter bloomer, and will bloom no other time. Its flowers are enormous, fully a foot in length; color, clear coal-black, so intense that it really shows a brilliancy, and as may well be imagined, it is a flower of the most striking oddity and beauty. The bulbs are large and should be potted in the fall, and when growth commences set in a window.

LILY OF THE VALLEY. i =.=
A well-known, charming, late spring flowering plant, producing racemes of wnite flowers, which effuse a pleasing and delicious odor, and render it a universal favorite, Being of dwarf habit, with a pro- fusion of deep green foliage, and flourishing well in shady places, where few other plants will succeed, it is sought after by all who love beautiful flowers. It grows well in pots, and in midwinter its beautiful racemes of snowy flowers are ever welcome. For pot culture the se- lected ‘‘ flowering pips’’ are best to use, and moisture is indispensable. To encourage the development of flower and foliage simultaneously, some growers invert a flower-pot over the crowns until some progress in growth has been made, after which the plants are removed to a less shady situation. During the whole period of growth abundance of water must be given.

LILY OF THE VALLEY.
IXIAS Are admirably adapted for pot culture in the house; several bulbs
can be placed in a seven-inch pot or pan. They should, unlike other
bulbs, be potted rather firmly, and as earlysas possible; place ina dry, cool place like Hyacinths ; until the flower spikes appear, little water is needed; then, how- ever, keep pretty moist, and give them full light and air. After flowering, gradually open, and when ready shake out and store in paper bags until next autumn, or the bulbs can remain in the soil, which should be kept dry

ORNITHOGALUM. sitet®'Btoom.” Arabicum. (Gee cut)
Uhis magnificent winter-blooming bulb from Arabia gives great satisfaction. The bulbs are large and solid somewhat resembling Hyacinths; the leaves are long, narrow and graceful: flower-stalks are thrown up to a height of 18 or 20 inches, and produce immense clusters of pearly-white flowers, each having a jet-black center. This distinct character. together with the durability of flowers, makes this grand novelty the best winter bloomer now offered. Bulbs can be planted in four-inch pots, and given the same culture as Hyacinths. If planted in open ground, they should be given slight protection. Price of bulbs sure to bloom, 5 cents each; 40

ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. Norfolk Island Pine.
Various names have been suggested for this grand plant to properly convey to the mind the appear- ance of it. Some have called it the ‘‘ Christmas Tree Palm,’’ from its resemblance to a Christmas tree; others have called it the “‘ Star Palm,” because the leaves are arranged to form a perfect star, but no descriptive name can give any adequate idea of its beauty. It has deep green, feathery foliage, arranged in whorls, rising one above the other, at regular distances ; its symmetry of form, grace and beauty of foliage are unequalled in the vegetable kingdom. It is easily grown in the house and is highly orna- mental. (See cut.) Extra fine plants, 24 to 30 inches high, $3.00 each ; 15 to 18 inches high, $2.00 each.

A magnificent plant for decorative purposes, quicker growing than a Palm, and equally effective ; of easy growth ; finely cut foliage, rivalling a rare Fern.

PALMS
Palms are now indispensible in all de- corations, whether for apartments, conserv- atories, or for tropical bedding in summer. The large demand for the past few years has induced us to considerably increase our facilities for growing this class of steck. The varieties enumerated below are those best adapted for house culture.
KENTIAS.
The Kentias, both Belmoreana and Fos teriana, are the hardiest in cultivation, and give better satisfaction as a house plant than any other varieties. They are of slow growth, and are not affected by the dust and dry atmosphere of the house, and were we to select one Palm only, it cer- tainly would bea Kentia. The two vari- eties are of similar appearance, the former Paine dwarfer and more spreading, and the latter is of stronger growth, with broader, heavier foliage.

Adiantum Cuneatum. A very beautiful and graceful fern, its delicate fronds being much used in cut flower. 25 cents to 50 cents each.

Residence of Mr. J. B. Cornish, Wollaston, Mass. This lawn was sown with Arlington Lawn Seed in 1890. If the Arlington Lawn Seed is sown this autumn it will produce an excellent growth early next spring.
RAWSON’S ARLINGTON LAWN SEED
is a [Mixture of Extra Recleaned Seeds. It has been the aim of this firm to obtain the best mixture of grasses for lawns. Theresult has been many trials of the different varieties, many changes in our mixtures, as our experience has taught us from time to time, and to-day we are confident that Rawson’s Arlington Lawn Seed is the best that can be had for obtaining a beautiful deep green color ina short time from planting and retaining the same during the season. It has no tendency to grow in clumps or stoels, as we have allowed no grasses of this nature to be in the mixture. The Rawson’s Arlington Lawn Seed is made up from extra recleaned seeds of the close growing varieties. We have taken special care that no light or slow-growing varieties be included in this mixture, so that when the seed is sown, if the ground is in proper shape, it will start at once and in a few days look green. .
The Arlington Lawn Seed being free from chaff starts at once before the weeds. This alone is worth more than the price of seed to anyone seeding a new lawn. It requires less seed to sow the lawn, weighs 32 lbs. to the bush. 1 qt. will sow 600 sq. ft., 30c. 2 qts. will sow 1,300 sq. ft., 55c. 4 qts. will sow 2,700 sq. ft., $1. 8 qts. will sow 5,400 sq. ft., $2. 2 bushs., or 641bs., willsowlacre. Price per bush., $7.50.
RAWSON’S VELVET LAWN GRASS MIXTURE.
This mixture has been sold by us for the past sixteen years and has always given satisfaction; it is composed of fine growing grasses. Many of these fine growing varieties, it is well known, have light seed which is almost impos- sible to obtain free from some chaff, and it is somewhat longer in germinating, but when once above ground, if properly managed, will produce a fine velvety lawn and permanent sod. Weighs 16 lbs. to bush. 1 qt. will sow 300 sq. ft.,20c. 2qts. will sow 650 sq. ft., 35c. 4 qts. will sow 1,350 sq. ft., 65c. 8 qts. will sow 2,700 sq. ft.,-$1. Sow 4 bushs., or 641bs.,to the acre. Price per bush., $4.
Fi a a ; TT The photograph represented ; PEO Laer ? us ue 5 here shows only eight of the ‘ @ x twenty-five greenhouses at Arlington. Giving, as it does, only a partial view, one can readily imagine the extent of our plant and the facilities we have at Arlington to conduct our plant business. During the winter we use all of these houses in growing vegetables and flowering plants. Many of them are used for growing lettuce and cucumbers. You will notice in the distance, be- tween the last two houses, six electric light poles on which are six large arc lights; these are used at night for forcing the growth of lettuce. We grow the New Hothouse Let- tuce, plain leaf, also Rawson’s crumpled leaf, introduced by us, which are especially adapt- ed for growing inside. Raw- son’s White Spine Cucumber is the only variety we grow inside.—W. W. Rawson & Co.
