DUTCH HYACINTHS

How to Grow Them

Pot Culture—Use a 4 or 5 inch pot for each bulb,
a light, rich, sandy soil is best. The upper sur-
face of the bulb should show above the soil.
After potting, water thoroughly and place in a
dark, cool cellar, covered up with sand or ashes
until well rooted; this is generally from two to
three months.

Glass Culture—F ill the glass so that the base of
the bulb will just touch the water and set away
in a cool, dark place until well rooted. Change
the water frequently.

Outdoor Culture—Plant in October or early Novem-

ber, about 6 inches apart and 4 inches deep.
Cover the bed with short manure during the
winter.

Currie’s Selected Early
French Roman Hyacinths

These are especially valuable for forcing and pot
culture in the house, each bulb producing from two
to six spikes of dainty, very fragrant flowers.

If planted early in September they can be brought
into flower in November, and by keeping them under
cover and bringing into the light when wanted, a
succession of bloom may be kept up until May. They
are not considered hardy as far north as this, but by
protecting well from severe frosts we have had very
pretty beds of them early in spring.

Early White—One of the most popular bulbous
flowering plants, used by florists in very large num-
bers for cut flowers. The bulbs planted at intervals

from September to December will bloom from Novem-

ber to May. The flowers are deliciously fragrant.

early forcing, each bulb giving one or more neat little
spikes of bloom. Very pretty in cut flower work and

TULIPS

Garden Culture of Tulips—Any good soil, well enriched, will suit Tulips. October, or early in November, is the
proper time to plant them. Set them 4 or 5 inches apart, and about 3 inches deep. Protect during the severe months of

winter with a covering of straw or manure.

All the early Tulips are adapted for pot culture in the house. The Duc Van Tholl varieties can be forced into bloom

for Christmas. Plant at least three or four bulbs in each pot.

The earliest blooming varieties are marked a, next b, and so on in their order. The number before the name denotes
the height of their growth in inches. 25 bulbs at 100 rate; 250 at 1,000 rate.

DAFFODILS.

No class of bulbs is more satisfactory and none so easily taken
care of as the Daffodils. They appear just after the snow and ice
of winter and enliven our gardens and lawns. Nothing can excel
the beauty and chastity of their blooms, and they have the advan-
tage of being good for an unlimited number of seasons if planted
out in some spot where they can be allowed to mature their foli-
age. They are perfectly hardy and withstand our severe winters
without protection. Should be given the same treatment as recom-
mended for Hyacinths, either ‘or indoor or outdoor cultivation.

NARCISSUS DOUBLE VON SION.

POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS.
PAPER WHITE GRANDIFLORA.

Produces large trusses of bloom of the purest snow
white, largely used for forcing for early cut flowers.
There is no more satisfactory bulb for house cultivation.
It can be readily brought into bloom for Christmas or
earlier. Like the Chinese Sacred Lily, it may be grown
in water in a bowl with a few pebbles to keep the bulbs
in place. Three or four bulbs should be used in a 6-inch
bowl. Grown in this manner, there is no more pleasing
object for the parlor.

PAEONIES

CHOICE HERBACEOUS VARIETIES.

Paeonies have continued to increase in pop-
ular favor with each succeeding year as pre-
eminent among our hardy perennial plants.
In response to the increasing demand, cultiva-
tors of this beautiful plant have enthusiastic-
ally engaged themselves in introducing and
propagating new varieties, aiming at more per-
fect flowers of more delicate tints and deeper,
richer shades. The new varieties themselves
sufficiently attest the success of these efforts.
Not to have seen any of them at its best is to
have missed a flower exquisitely lovely. From
these and our standard varieties one may find
any shade or combination of colors he may
desire to enhance the beauty of his lawn or
herbaceous border.

No class of plants is more easily grown than
Paeonies and few repay the care given them so
generously. They are perfectly hardy and thrive
in almost any soil, but any extra attention
given them will be amply repaid; deeply culti-
vated and well enriched loam suits them best.
In shady places, where few plants will succeed,
Paeonies will grow luxuriantly. Such spots are
usually to be found, and the colors of the flow-
ers are brighter and they last much longer
than if fully exposed to the sun. The plants,
however, thrive equally well in sunny situa-
tions, and planted in front of shrubbery or on
either side of walks they are very effective.

Vicia Villosa (Sandwicken)—Withstands our Northwestern
winters. Hardier than Winter Wheat. Owing to its
remarkable earliness and great feeding qualities, no
dairy farmer or hog raiser can afford to be without it.
Hogs, sheep, cattle and horses eat it with great relish.
Sowings made in September prevent soil washing in
winter and will furnish a heavy crop of green fodder
by the end of April, and, after cutting, a second crop,
which may be eaten off by stock or turned under as
green manure. Fall pasture 40 to 50 days after sowing.

SOW CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS SEED

Produces a Rich, Thick and Velvety Lawn the First Season

Composed of Evergreen Grasses suitable for our Ameri-
ean climate and made up from only the finest and cleanest
grades of seed.

Our Mixtures are suitable for Large or Modest Lawns,

Embankments, Slopes, Terraces, Putting Greens, and Shady
Places, and will keep green from early spring till fall.

Sow at the rate of 1 quart to 250 square feet; 1 pound to
400 square feet; 5 pounds to 2,000 square feet; 20 pounds
to 8,000 square feet; 100 pounds per acre.

It is universally conceded that nothing contributes so
much to the beauty and attractiveness of the home grounds,
the park and the cemetery, as a smooth, uniformly rich-
green, well-kept lawn, which, to be perfect and a pleasure
to walk on, should have a firm, yet elastic and carpet-like,
surface. To secure this should, therefore, be the first con-
sideration in laying out or renovating old grounds.

Turfing with fine old pasture sod, at one time a popular
plan of making a lawn, is now almost entirely superseded
by seeding, because of the expense and difficulty in obtaining
good, clean turf. On the other hand, seeding is not only
inexpensive, but is in reality the only means of securing a

fine and permanent lawn, depending only for its complete’

success on the thoroughness with which the ground is pre-
pared, the quality and quantity of the seed sown, and the
subsequent care of the lawn.

Our extensive experience in the seeding of lawns and
our exhaustive experiments with all kinds of lawn grasses
have demonstrated beyond a doubt that many kinds. are
valueless, being too coarse or bunchy, and that one grass
alone cannot be relied upon in our climate to produce and
maintain a fine lawn. It is only by using a proper com-

bination of several suitable varieties, sown liberally, that
the most satisfactory results can be obtained.

CURRIE’S LAWN GRASS MIXTURES are the result of
years of study and careful observation, and, if our directions
are followed in seeding, never fail te produce quickly a
thrifty growth of fine, velvety, rich green grass, continuous
in verdure from early spring to winter, and creating a
springy, dense, carpet-like turf and permanently beautiful
lawn.

THE QUANTITY OF SEED REQUIRED.—There is no
fixed rule, but a liberal sowing is always satisfactory, while
a light seeding is a waste of time and usually disappointing.
A beautiful lawn may be produced in a few weeks, or it
may not approach perfection for two or more seasons, ac-
cording to the quantity of seed sown. When in a hurry
for a fine, close turf we have frequently sown at the rate of
7 bushels of 20 lbs. each to the acre, with the most success-
ful results, but in general the following quantities will pro-
duce the best results: 1 qt. to 250 square feet; 1 1b. to 400
square feet; 5 lbs. to 2,000 square feet; 20 lbs. to 8,000 square
feet; 100 lbs. per acre. For renovating old lawns, about one-
half of the above quantities, on the average, 1s required.

Mixtures of Lawn Grass Seeds

If required by mail, add Se per quart, 10¢c per pound, for postage.

CURRIE’S SPECIAL MIXTURE—This splendid mixture is composed of only the finest dwarf-growing evergreen
grasses, absolutely free from weed seeds or other impurities, especially adapted and mixed in the proper proportion
to suit the American climate. In comparing the cost of our Special Lawn Grass with other
mixtures sent out by the trade, remember that the natural weight per measured bushel of
our mixture is 20 lbs. per bushel, while that of most mixtures is only 14 lbs. per bushel.
To obtain this exceptionally heavy weight per bushel, we must and do use only the
heaviest and best samples of the various grasses which compose our mixture. This is in
itself a guarantee against sowing weeds, as the heavier the mixture the more thoroughly
re-cleaned have been the component grasses. Pint, 10e; quart, 20e; 1 lb., 30ce; 2% Ibs.,
