Rule of Thumb for Planting Bulbs 


When in doubt as to how deep to plant bulbs, use 
the old ‘“Rule-of-Thumb” and plant them “three 
times their thickness.” Thus a bulb that measures 
an inch from top to bottom should be covered with 
3 inches of soil. 


La TERR A Peet Oe eS LULIPS 


Our bulbs are grown by one of the very best producers 
in Holland, and every year we receive many compliments 
on the quality of our bulbs. 


In addition to First Size (11/12 cm.) bulbs for outdoor 
use, we offer Top Size (12 cm. and larger) for indoor 
forcing of certain varieties. Orders for the larger bulbs 
must be placed in advance of shipping time, say before 
August 1st, as we will not carry a surplus stock of them 
for late orders. Where an asterisk (*) appears before 
the name, the variety is suitable for forcing. 


Tulips should be planted outdoors 5 to 6 inches deep, 
and about 5 inches apart. Avoid areas where Tulips have 
been grown during the previous two years, and do not use 
fresh manure. 


Indoors, bulbs may be transferred to pots after two or 
three months in outdoor beds, when well rooted. Keep in 
a cool room before bringing them into ordinary house 
temperature. 


SINGLE EARLY 


These bloom about a week before the regular varieties 
and last until the others are in bloom. The flowers are 
bright colored, on stems up to 15 inches tall, which means 
that they are a little shorter than the so-called late Tulips. 


DOUBLE EARLY 


These are regaining their former 
popularity, as the flowers, which are 
double and somewhat resemble 
Peonies, are most attractive. They 
bloom just ahead of the Darwins, Triumphs, etc., on stems 
about a foot tall and will make an interesting addition 
to any rock garden, besides looking equally fine in beds. 


DOUBLE LATE 


These resemble Double Earlies, except that they bloom 
with the later Tulips and have long stems. No planting is 
complete without some Doubles. 


PARROTS 


These are sometimes called 
Orchid Tulips. They have bril- 
liantly colored, irregularly shaped 
flowers which are fringed, deeply 
cut, and frequently splotched 
with green. These newer varieties 
have good stems. Fantasy has 
been a popular Parrot for years.

DARWINS 


Darwin Tulips gained great popularity when they were 
first introduced, because of their tall strong stems, attractive 
colors and perfectly shaped blossoms. They follow the 
Single Earlies in blooming time and, in common with other 
Tulips, are at their best when massed in beds. They average 
20-30 inches tall, depending on climate, weather and 
locality. 


COTTAGE 


Also called May-Flowering, these are a trifle later than 
Darwins and have sturdy, tall stems. The color range is 
narrow, as they are mostly whites and yellows. 


TRIUMPH 


Triumph Tulips resulted from crossing Single Earlies 
with Darwins, and they deserve even greater popularity 
than they have received. They are medium tall, with very 
strong stems and attractive colors and combinations of 
colors. Excellent for forcing. 


BREEDER 


These bloom a trifle later than Darwins, also have tall 
stems, but they come in a totally different range of colors 
which includes buffs, bronzes, purple-bronze, gold, terra 
cotta, etc., frequently blended. The “Indian” group we list 
are new types of Breeders which should appeal to the more 
advanced and particular lover of Tulips. 


INDIAN 


As mentioned above, these are actually Breeders, but are 
considered sufficiently distinctive to warrant special mention. 
Those of your customers who really like tulips will welcome 
these new colors. 


(See “Botanical Tulips” on page 7.)

DAFFODILS 


For outdoor use, plant the bulbs as early as possible in 
the Fall, 6 to 7 inches deep and 6 to 9 inches apart. In- 
doors, treat them the same as Tulips, but barely cover the 
bulbs with soil, and water copiously. 


We offer two sizes of bulbs, Double Nose II (DN II) 
for outdoor use, and the larger Double Nose I (DN 1) for 
forcing. The larger bulbs will be supplied only on early 
orders, as we will not carry a surplus stock of them. Where 
an asterisk (*) appears before the name, the variety is 
suitable for forcing. 


These are commonly called Daffodils, but botanically 
they are Narcissi, and include a number of types or classes 
as described briefly below. They bloom early and. long, 
making them ideal for beds, borders or naturalizing. The 
part which grows from the center of the flower is called 
a trumpet when it is long, a crown or cup when medium 
size, and an eye when very small. 


TRUMPET. This type of Nar- 
cissi has trumpets which are as long 
as or longer than the perianth 
petals. The stems are strong and 
more than a foot tall. Trumpet Nar- 
cissi may be yellow, white or bi-color. 


INCOMPARABILIS. In this class, the trumpet or crown 
is medium in length, one-third to the full length of the 
perianth. The range of colors in- 
cludes yellow and orange crowns, 
yellow and white perianths. 


BARRII. Another class with me- 
dium length cup which is less than 
one-third the length of the perianth. 


Included in this group are some of 
the deepest red cupped varieties. 


in clusters on tall, strong stems. 
They are pleasantly scented and have 
a small cup or eye. Cheerfulness is 
a double-flowered Poetaz of out- 
standing beauty. 


DOUBLE. Double flowered 
Narcissi or Daffodils have showy 
flowers, some with all yellow 
petals and some of two colors. 


POETICUS. Called the Poet’s 
Daffodil, this group has white 
perianths and a small, flattened 
crown or eye that may be lemon 
or yellow edged with crimson or 
scarlet. Poeticus do well in par- 
tial shade and make fine cut 
flowers. 


JONQUILLA. We list but one, Trevithian, a Jonquil 
hybrid with small, delicately scented short-crowned flowers, 
lemon-yellow throughout. Two or more blooms appear 
on a stem. 


TRIANDRUS. Thalia is a Triandrus hybrid, with white 
blossoms in clusters of two or three. It is fine for rock 
gardens or naturalizing. 


Ye (¢2. 9.92 Ar. 7S HYAGINERS 


We offer high quality bulbs in an excellent range of 
colors, and in two. sizes — Exhibition or First Size 
(18-19 cm.) and Bedding Size (15-16 cm.). 


The smaller bulbs are better for 
outdoor use, as the spikes are then 
not too heavy and are less apt to 
bend or break. 


For outdoor bedding, plant the 
bulbs 7 inches deep and 6 inches 
apart. In northern United States and 
Canada they should have some pro- 
tection in Winter. 


Lf 989 7 44 CROGUSES 


v 


Ctocuses are usually planted 
in borders, or in random patches 
about the lawn, 4 inches deep, 
where they bloom very early and 
are unharmed by later mowings. 


Indoors they may be grown in 
light soil. Water them well and 
keep them in a dark place about 
six weeks or until the top growth 
has become 2 inches tall. 


y ¥ 4 ¥ ¥ BOTANICAL TULIPS 


(Tulipa Species) 


All so-called Botanical Tulips (Tulipa species) ate natives 
of Asia Minor and central Asia. All of them bloom early, 
have bright colors and recurved petals. They tolerate shade 
better than Tulips and are especially attractive in rock gar- 
dens and hardy borders. Red Emperor is especially recom- 
mended. 


Kees eae ef tty hy, > SCILLA 


CAMPANULATA. About 15 
inches high, erect flower spikes 
with small bell-shaped blossoms 
which appear in early May. Set 
the bulbs 6 inches apart and 3-4 
inches deep, in sun or shade. 


SIBIRICA. Plant the bulbs 3 
or 4 inches deep, 3 inches apart. 
Bright blue flowers on slender 
stems. 


WM 7 <7, +. WIUSCARI 


Called Grape MHyacinths be- 
cause (except Plumosum) the 
upright spikes of blue berry-like 
flowers resemble miniature in- 
verted bunches of grapes. They 
thrive almost anywhere. Plant the 
bulbs 2 or 3 inches deep and 3-4 
inches apart.

ing while snow is still on the 
ground. Small, white, pendant

tall. Plant bulbs in sunny or l/ 
lightly shaded place, 4 inches y Y 


444 4 4 4 4 ¥ CHIONODOXA 


Called Glory of the Snow. As 
early as Crocuses, they are about 
V 5 inches high with small attrac- 
bs tive blue flowers of lily form, sev- 
eral on a stem. Plant the bulbs 
3 inches deep and 3-4 inches 

\ apart.

WOODRUFF'S 
GOLD SEAL 


HIGHEST 
QUALITY } 


Lawn Seed Mixtures 


TURF-MAKER 1 — 


Composed of Bluegrass, Bent and Redtop — all seeds 
highly refined to produce one of the highest quality lawn 
seed mixtures available. 


Turf-Maker 1 — will develop a beautiful, durable turf 
of fine leafed even-textured grass. 


TURF-MAKER 38 — 


This is another top-quality mixture similar to Turf- 
Maker 1 —, with Red Fescue added. 


It is particularly suited for New England conditions — 
or where soils are somewhat thin and sandy. This suit- 
ability is due to the heavy and penetrating root structure 
of Red Fescue which enables it to survive with a minimum 
of moisttife. 


TRU-SHADE 


Wherever shade makes difficult growing conditions, 
Tru-Shade is the mixture which we recommend as best 
suited to overcome this problem. It is composed entirely 
of shade tolerant grasses with Redtop as a nurse. These 
are Creeping Red Fescue, Chewings Fescue, and Rough 
Bluegrass.
