To Our Bulb Loving Friends:

The following list will satisfy even the most exact-
ing requirements as to varieties and types, and addi-
tional sorts can be procured if necessary.

The extensive frosts in Holland, in the early spring
injured the bulb crop very materially and it is also
probable that when the tariff is finally adjusted, it
will be considerably higher on importations.

By special arrangements with our growers, we are
protected for this season at the prices quoted here-
with, and you will know exactly what the stock is
going to cost you before ordering.

We respectfully suggest that you look over the
list and if there is further information required,
write us in regard to same.

SEND US YOUR ORDERS BEFORE JULY 30TH!

We cannot guarantee orders to be filled complete
if they are received after this date.

If you are looking for special stock for exhibition
purposes, please write us.

All stock is being grown specially for us by one
of the foremost bulb growers in Holland, and as in
the case of our Chrysanthemums, Roses and other
stock, we stand back of them, unreservedly.

General Cultural Directions

Broadly speaking, all the Dutch Bulbs offered in
the following pages may be planted any time from
September until cold stops planting operations out-
doors. Even the arrival of cold or freezing weather
need not stop planting if precaution is taken to
spread straw, manure or litter over the soil to a
depth of four or five inches. This will keep out the
cold for a considerable period.

Generally speaking, all of the bulbs are best
planted in masses, either in clumps through the
shrubbery border or in solid beds. A broad rule to
follow is to cover the bulbs about one and a half
times their own depth in diameter. Thus, if a Hya-
cinth measures three inches from crown to bottom, it
should be covered with about four to five inches of
soil; the heavier the soil, the less covering should be
given. As for spacing the bulbs, it is safe to allow
from two to three times as much space between the
individual bulbs as the bulbs themselves cover. Thus,
if a Tulip bulb measures two inches in diameter,
the bulbs should be planted from four to five inches
apart in the clumps or in rows. However, never
plant them in single rows but at least in double
rows, three parallel rows being better. When named
varieties are planted in clumps, the space between
the individual bulbs may be slightly less.

We give herewith a few specific cultural directions
in connection with the different classes:

HYACINTHS

Outdoor Culture. Plant any time from October to
December. They succeed in any good, well-drained
garden soil. Set the bulbs so that the crowns will be
3 or 4 inches below the surface and 6 to 10 inches
apart. Before very severe weather, cover the beds
with straw, leaves or manure for protection. Re-
move when danger from hard frost is past in the
Spring.

Pot Culture. Plant any time from September to
December. A light, rich soil is most suitable. Use
a 4 or 5-inch pot (or several bulbs may be planted
together in larger pots or bulb pans), and have the
tops of the bulbs just above the surface. After pot-
ting water well and set away in a cool cellar and
cover with coal ashes, or some litter, until thoroughly
rooted. During this period be careful that they do
not dry out. They may then be brought into the
house, keeping them in a very cool, light room until
the fiower spikes are developed. They may then be
placed wherever they are wanted.

Culture In Glasses. Bulbs should be placed so that
their base merely touches the water. The glasses
should then be set in a cool, dark closet, or in the
cellar, until filled with roots, when they may be
brought into the light. A piece of charcoal about
an inch in diameter, placed in each glass, will keep
the water sweet. Give as much fresh air as possible,
and keep in a cool room until the spikes are de-
veloped. To put them at once into a warm room
would cause them to fiower prematurely.

TULIPS

Tulips produce especially beautiful effects among
shrubbery and perennial beds if planted in groups or
clumps or used as borders. For forcing in the house
in Winter, Tulips will make splendid pot plants. The
same general directions for cultivation in pots may
be used as for Hyacinths. Plant 4 to 6 inches deep
and 4 to 6 inches apart, according to soil and
variety.

DAFFODILS OE NARCISSI

Owing to the various sizes of the bulbs, it is not
advisable to state the exact depth to plant, but the
simple rule of covering the bulb one and a half
times its own depth, and making the distance between
the bulbs three to four inches for the smaller sorts
and five to six inches for the larger ones, is a good
one. For greenhouse or window-garden culture treat
them the same as Hyacinths, except that three or
more bulbs of one should be planted in a pot, and
not single specimens.

DARWIN TULIPS

We strongly recommend this class of Tulips for
garden decoration in beds as well as in groups in the
herbaceous border and amongst shrubs. Grown for
cut fiowers, they will prove very valuable at a
time when our gardens yield so little for the decora-
tion of our rooms. They fiower during the middle
part of Maj', a period when the spring fiowers are
over and summer fiowers such as Roses have not
yet come in. The blooms last in condition a very
long time.

By forcing in pots they may be had in bloom in
February or even earlier, most of the varieties im-
proving in color by protection under glass or canvas.

TOTTY’S DAFFODILS OR NARCISSI

All the varieties of Narcissi or Daffodils we offer
are perfectly hardy, and will continue to flower out-
doors each year if given a congenial location and not
disturbed. Yv^here they are used for bedding, and
must be lifted, it is wise to permit bulbs to remain
after flowering until the foliage turns brown down to
the ground, then lifted, and the earth shaken from
the bulbs; they should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Narcissi, like Hyacinths, should be planted by early
November, and should not be allowed to remain out
of the ground so long as Tulips, which may be
planted up to hard frost.

CROCUSES

Among the extra-early Spring flowers none sur-
pass the Crocuses for spreading cheer at a season

CHARLES H. TOTTY CO, MADISON, N. J.

when color outdoors is rare. Crocuses are the little
cube-shaped flowers, mostly in purple, blue and yel-
low, that pop out of the grass or appear in the border
almost as soon as the snow is melted. The flowers
appear first, followed by a grasslike foliage which, in
connection v/ith the striped varieties, is quite orna-
mental by itself. For best effects. Crocuses should be
planted in clumps of 50 or 100, scattered along the
shrubbery border or through the grass where the
grass is not cut short before the end of May. In
order to save the bulbs from year to year, right in
their garden situation where they will naturalize, the
foliage must be given a chance to mature so that it
is not wise to plant them in closely cropped lawns.
Rather should they be planted as an edging to beds
or borders.

While, as a rule, mixed Crocuses are planted, many
of our customers will be delighted to plant the
named varieties for specific effects in the border.
