EITHER IN THE HOUSE, FOR WINTER BLOOMING, OR IN THE OPEN GROUND, FOR
EARLY SPRING FLOWERS.

8 gee culture of Holland Bulbs is not, as many seem to think, confined to florists and amateurs having more
J x than ordinary facilities for the care of flowers. They are grown and admired by all classes of flower lovers,
wwe their beautiful and fragrant flowers having completely won popular favor.

“GM Statistics show that over two hundred thousand dollars’ worth of these bulbs are imported into this
country every year. This immense quantity is distributed by seedmen and dealers to every nook and corner of
the United States, nearly every garden receiving a share in proportion to its size. In some only a few are set out,
while in the more pretentious ones, Hyacinths and Tulips are planted by the thousand,

There are three
principal reasons
why these flowers
have attained such
widespread popu-
larity.

First, their beau-
ty of form and col-
or. No other class
of flowers exhibits
such a wonderful
variety of beautiful
colors; almost
evéry conceivable
shade or tint may
be found in some
one of the many
different kinds. The
sweet, delicate odor
and graceful form
of the flowers are
additional charms

that make them fa-

flowers may be had continually during the winter and early spring months, or, if planted out in the open garden
in autumn, the blossoms will be produced very early in the spring, long before other plants can be set out. The
blooms are particularly desirable for cut flowers, retaining their freshness and beauty several days when placed
in glasses of water.

In our Cut Flower Department these flowers find ready sale and large quantities are sold every season, there
being almost a craze for spring flowers among the cut flower buyers of this city.

Third, they are so easily grown, and adapt themselves so readily to all situations, that even the most inexperi-
enced amateur can grow them successfully.

We know there are many who do not feel inclined to buy or set out plants at this season of the year; but every
one who wishes to enjoy a few of these lovely flowers must plant the bulbs now, whether desired for winter bloom-
ing in the house or as spring flowers in the open garden; it is necessary to start the bulbs in the fall.

When intended for winter blooming, the bulbs are planted in pots or boxes and grown in the house; an
ordinary window box, planted with a variety of bulbs (as shown in illustration No. 1), is a very neat and effective
way of arranging them, The manner in which they are grown makes but little difference, as the bulbs themselves
contain the germs of the leaves and flower stems, with sufficient nourishment to produce them, and need only to
be supplied with heat and moisture to develop flowers of wondrous beauty. If successive plantings are made, a
constant supply of flowers may be had from December till April.

Those of our customers who have cultivated bulbs in the house in winter well know what a world of real
pleasure and amusement they afford; how carefully they watch them, after planting, to observe the first signs of
life, and after a brief period of waiting see them gradually mature and put forth new leaves. In a few days the
flower stem appears, and, when it finally blossoms out in the fullness of its beauty, brightening the room with its
cheerful colors and filling the air with its delicate odor, the happy possessor feels amply repaid for the time and
money expended.

Large quantities are also grown in the garden for early spring flowers. When this method is chosen the bulbs
must be planted in the open ground any time during the fall months, and allowed to remain until the flowers are
expanded by the first warm sunny days of spring.

Many opportunities are offered for the display of the grower’s taste in arranging beds and borders to form the
most pleasing effects.

The illustration on outside of cover shows what a lovely garden can be formed of these beautiful spring flow-

ers. Imagine a garden, in the early spring, glowing with brilliant masses of Tulips and showy beds of Hyacinths

nthe prominent pla-
ces, clusters of Nar-
cissus, Daffodils and
Lilies of the Valley
in the retired corners,
little clumps of Cro-
cuses and Snowdrops
dotted here and there
in the lawn to relieve
the solid green ; com-
bine with all these a
few stately Lilies and
Crown Imperials in
the spaces between
the shrubbery, and
you have a garden
unrivaled for beauty
and attractiveness
by even the bright-
est of our summer
gardens.
The engraving in a2h
the lower corner, on BED OF HYACINTHS, BORDERED WITH TULIPS.

outside of cover, shows a little group of flowers just suited to the wants of the beginner, which can be obtained
for atrfling sum. Planted in any unoccupied corner of the garden, they will delight the grower with their bril-
liant colors and delicious fragrance. ;

THE TIME FOR PLANTING.

It should be borne in mind that these bulbs MUST BE PLANTED IN THE FALL, and will not produce good
flowers if planted at any other time. Hundreds, when they see the Hyacinths and Tulips in bloom in the early
spring, write to us for bulbs, and are much disappointed to learn that they should have been planted in the fall,
and cannot be obtained in the spring.

Directions for Planting in the Garden for Spring Blooming.

October and November are considered the best months for planting, in this latitude, although the bulbs may
be set out any time before the ground is frozen hard,

Plant the bulbs in light sandy soil, drained, so that water will not collect on the surface.

Hyacinths should be set about four inches deep, measuring from the top of the bulb; Crown Imperials, five
inches; Narcissus, Tulips and Jonquils, three inches; Crocuses and Snowdrops, two inches, and from four to eight
inches apart. according to the size of the bulb.

As soon as severe frosts set in, cover the beds with leaves or straw to the depth of about six inches, taking care
to weight it down with brush or earth, to prevent blowing away. Early in the spring, gradually remove the
covering, and they will then grow rapidly and flower without further attention.

BULBS. 3

The duration of bloom may be prolonged by shading after the flowers have opened. .

The bulbs can be left in the ground throughout the year, and will bloom again the following season. If the
Same beds are needed for planting out bedding plants for summer blooming, such as Roses, Geraniums, ete., the
bulbs can be removed as soon as the leaves commence to turn yellow and ripen; place them In the sun until

thoroughly dry, then cut off the tops and pack away carefully in some cool, dry place until wanted again for fall
planting. 3

Directions for Winter Blooming in the House.

The bulbs should be planted in pots or boxes as early in the season as possible, and if any quantity is grown a
few should be planted at intervals of about two weeks up to January, in order to keep up a succession of bloom,

The best bulbs for forcing, in the house, are named Hyacinths, Early Tulips, Polyanthus, Narcissus, Roman
Hyacinths and Freesias. ‘To this list may also be added Lillums, Candidum, Harrisil and Longiflorum, Lilies of
the Valley, Crocuses and Snowdrops.

The soil should consist of one-third sand, one-third well rotted manure and one-third garden soil. For Ilya-
cinths, the pot should be about four inches in diameter for one bulb, although four or five bulbs may be put in an
eight-inch pot with good results. Smaller bulbs, as Tulips and Crocuses, may be put in proportionately less space.
Fill the pots about three parts full of soil, lay on top of this a handful of clean sand, set the bulb on the layer of
sand and fill up the pot with soil, press down firmly, and allow just the top of the bulb to protrude above the
surface. After potting, water thoroughly, and store them away in a cool,dark cellar, giving them a covering of
about six inches of leaves, sand or sawdust, and allow them to remain in this position for about stx weeks. When
the pots are well filled with roots, brush off the covering from a few and place them in a warm room or conserva-
tory with a temperature of about 65 degrees. Partially shade them from the light for a few days, and water daily
until the flowers are expanded.

It is very important that they should make strong growth at the roots before being brought tothe light. After
the covering is removed, it is best to keep them in a cool, shady place for a day or two, and increase the light and
heat gradually. If exposed too quickly, the flowers are apt to be imperfectly formed.

Growing in pots is the simpler and more natural method of cultivating these bulbs, although they are
frequently grown in vases of water. For this purpose select single Hyacinths, and place in glasses filled with
water, so that the base of the bulb will just touch the water. Place them away in a cool, dark cellar or box until
the roots are well grown. Change the water as soon as it becomes impure, and be careful that it does not freeze,as
it would not only break the glass but destroy the root fibres. When the glass is well filled with roots and the
flower stem well started, remove to the light and give warmer temperature. More vigorous growth and finer
flowers will be obtained if given fresh air occasionally.

It is always best to choose single Hyacinths for growing in glasses, very few of the double ones producing
good flowers when grown in this way.

Narcissus can be easily grown in jars of water (fruit jars willanswer). Fill the jar with coarse gravel, level
with the surface of the water, so that the bulb when resting on the gravel will just touch the water.

Smaller bulbs can be grown in flat dishes, filled with damp moss, or fern vases, or arranged in a hundred other

ways that taste or fancy may dictate.
OUR BULBS

are all of our own importation, direct from Holland, and are selected solely for our own retail trade. They are,
therefore, of a higher grade than those usually offered, are true to name and color and are of the best quality —
grown. Having been for years the largest growers of Hyacinths for St. Louis markets, our long experience in
this branch of the business fully qualifies us to judge of the best varieties either for forcing in the house or

planting out in the garden.
PLANTS FOR THE HOUSE.

We wish to call your attention to our list of Roses and other plants for winter blooming in the house. They
have been grown specially for this purpose; are healthy, vigorous and in splendid condition. These are sure to
grow stronger, bloom more freely and be in every way more satisfactory than old, worn out plants that have been
blooming in the garden allsummer. Plants and Bulbs ordered from this Catalogue can be sent together in one

shipment, if desired. P

HIS is probably the best known and deservedly

¢ popular of all the Holland bulbs. The large

flower variety and brilliancy of color and deli-

cate perfume combine in making ita universal favorite.

A few Hyacintbs can be grown in pots or glasses with

very little trouble, and when in bloom make elegant and

suitable ornaments for the parlor or sitting room. Our

collection embraces every shade of color known

among Hyacinths, and includes only strong growing
sorts that produce large and full spikes of bloom.

All of the following are superb and distinct varie-
ties of the best quality, and are grown especially for
house culture. Our extremely low prices are an addi-
tional inducement. A comparison of our prices on
named Hyacinths with those of other florists will show
that we are from 25 to 50% lower than the lowest. Price,
15 cents each, $1.50 per dozen.

UNNAMED BEODING HYACINTHS,
For Planting in the Garden.

The mixed or unnamed Hyacinths are suitable only
for outdoor planting. They are a very good grade of
bulbs, although the flowers they produce are not usu-
ally as large as those from the named sorts. Occasion-
ally they will bloom admirably in the house, although
we do not recommend them for that purpose.

This grade of bulbs are divided into four general

colors; the distinct shades are not kept separate, but |

6 C. YOUNG & SONS’ CO., ST. LOUIS, MO.

One hundred Tulips will nicely fill a bed of fair size, and remain in bloom for about four weeks. If partially
shaded, they will continue in flower until time to replace with plants for summer blooming. They recommend
themselves to every one who loves a bed of early spring flowers.

The flowers are of a globular shape, beautifully formed, and are very large, in comparison to the size of the
plant.

The early varieties are easily flowered in the house during winter, and should be planted at the same time
and in the same manner as Hyacinths.

For indoor culture, select from the named sorts, as they are the best forcing varieties. The mixed Tulips
are intended only for open ground culture, and contain many kinds that cannot be grown in the house. The
flowers of the double varieties are not quite so brilliant as the single, and are always a little later, but they last
longer, when fully opened.

NARCISSUSorDAFFODILS.

These beautiful old-fashioned fiowers
are becoming more popular every year,
as they deserve to. They are among the
most precious of our spring garden flow-
ers for cutting purposes, and many kinds
of indoor decoration. Out-of-doors they
are no less valuable, being quite hardy
and of easy culture, growing well in any
light soil.

The Polyanthus are the best for grow-
ing in the house, and are grown in great
quantities for winter cut flowers. The
flowers are produced in clusters of eight
or ten on a stem, and vary in color from
purest white to deep orange. The single
Narcissus are extremely hardy and are

Winter Blooming Plants

FAnd Flowers # for the Nouse.

O grow a few plants and have flowers in the house during
¢ | winter seems to many people a very difficult if not im-
possible thing to do, while in reality it requires only ordinary
care and a little skill to have a nice stand of plants in bloom
all through the winter months,

A glance at our illustration will show how a bay window or
well-lighted room can be transformed into a perfect little bow-
er of floral beauty—a bright spot where everything is green
and cheerful, each day presenting new forms of loveliness, and
proving a never-ending source of pleasure and delight.

There are many of our handsomest flowers that bloom only
in the fall and winter, and whose beauty can only be admired
by those who cultivate flowers in the house. The Chrysanthe-
mum, which, without doubt, excels all other flowers in rich-
ness and variety of colors, is a noted example.

The temperature of a room in which an ordinary collection
of plants is kept should never rise above 65°, and at night 45
or 59° is high enough. Keep the plants healthy and clean, and
the leaves free from dust. A hot, dry air is injurious to all

14 C. YOUNG & SONS’ CO., ST. LOUIS, MO. a

house plants. Endeavor to add moisture to the air by evaporating water in pans, and frequently syringing or
sprinkling the leaves of the plants. Do not crowd the plants together, but arrange on stands or brackets, or in
any way that they may be easily exposed to the fresh air and sunlight on warm, sunny days, as this is of great
benefit to the plants, and will aid more in keeping them strong and healthy than all the plant food and fertilizers
in existence.

Sod or turf, well-broken up and enriched with a little well-rotted manure, makes the best soil for potting aad
transplanting.

Insects can easily be destroyed by frequently syringing with water, or by the application of tobacco in any
form, either dust, smoke or solution, whichever is most convenient to use.

In the following pages we mention only those plants that are suitable for winter culture, and can be grown
without trouble in the sitting room or parlor. Of Roses,Geraniums and Carnations we have listed only those sorts
that will bloom freely in the house.

For a complete list of the best varieties in cultivation, see our ANNUAL SPRING CATALOGUE,
issued in January, and mailed free on application.

The plants named in this Catalogue are strong, vigorous, healthy plants, in bud or bloom, and have been
specially prepared for winter blooming. They have been grown in three, four and five-inch pots all summer, and
average from twelve to eighteen inches in height; hence, it will be seen that they are much too large to send by
mail, and can be forwarded by express only.

Bulbs and Seeds can be sent with plants in one shipment, if desired. We always add enough extra plants to
compensate for express charges.

We make no charge for baskets or packing, and deliver all goods to the Express Offices in this city, free.

make them the fashionable flower of autumn.

Hardy Flowering STUDS, Plants and Climbers.

Ds & ARDY shrubs and vines are essentially the ground-work of

a gurden—a background that increases by contrast the
beauty of our brilliant summer flowers. September and October
are the best months in the year for transplanting, as these shrubs
are then in a dormant state and can be moved-with safety.

When planted in the fall, they become firmly established in
their new location before the winter sets in and will bloom the
following spring. Bear Th mind that these are permanent orna
ments, and, in planting, select positions where they will be most
effective and where they can remain for years undisturbed.

Space permits of only a short list and brief descriptions.

Y the aid of floral publications and the efforts of

florists in general, ataste has been created and
cultivated for fine Cut Flowers, which every year be-
comes more exacting and demands varieties that are
truly rare and beautiful, and, as a result, many floral
treasures that were formerly grown for pleasure solely
are now grown and sold in large quantities at prices
that are in keeping with the cost of their production.
‘New varieties in baskets and designs are constantly
being introduced that require skilled arrangement of
choice flowers to display their beauty and produce the
desired effect. Our long experience in this branch of
‘the business and immense quantity of flowers at our
disposal enables us to execute work of this kind in the
best possible manner. In our mammoth greenhouses
are produced all the leading varieties of Cut Flowers
grown for florists’ use, and ample space is afforded for
growing any particularly beautiful flower that the pop-
ular taste demands. The supply of fresh flowers that

18 C. YOUNG & SONS’ CO., ST. LOUIS, MO.

The quantity of our supply is not decreased by the failure of one or two varieties, for as soon as one favorite
is gone another is always ready to take itsplace. In this way a constant succession of bloom is kept up, and our
assortment remains uniform throughout the season.

Roses of many different sorts we have at all seasons, and these, on account of the great demand and expense
ef growing, sell at higher prices than other less popular flowers. We ship large quantities of flowers at all
seasons of the year, and our careful method of packing insures their safe arrival in a perfect state of preserva-
tion.. Our customers write us, that when the flowers are unpacked they are as fresh and fragrant as though just
gathered from the garden or conservatory. Information and prices cheerfully furnished on application. We
eannot quote exact prices here, as these are subject to change, according to the supply and demand. Please be
careful, in ordering, to give plain shipping directions, and mention the latest time it will do for the flowers to
arrive in your town. Orders by telegraph from unknown parties sentC.O.D. Write for prices on special designs.

IMPROVED

LAUS:CRASS*SEED

Is the best mixture for renewing old lawns, It has been carefully prepared, and thorough testing has shown it to
be the best Seed for sowing in this climate, producing a smooth and durable turf that will remain green through-
out the summer. Now is the time to sow it.

There is no better season for preparing and planting a lawn than in the fall months.

Spade up and pulverize the ground well and grade to the desired level. Sow Lawn Grass Seed in the propor-
tion of about four bushels to the acre, rake the surface lightly and roll with a heavy roller. The fall rains will
give the Seed a good start.

SSS SS

Old lawns have generally, at this season of the year, some bire spaces where the grass has been either burned
out by the hot sun, or killed by being constantly trampied down. Sow Lawn Grass Seed thickly over these spots,
and before winter sets in cover the lawn with a light dressing of manure. In the spring the grass will come up
evenly and form a smooth and perfect sward. One quart will be sufficient to sow a space of about 300 square feet:
