HY ACINTHS.
The preferable season for planting HyYAcINTHs in the open ground is in
October and November, but they can be set out at any later time, as long as
the ground is open and the Bulbs remain sound. The best compost for the
Bulbs is the following: One-third river or sea sand, one third well rotted cow
manure, and one-third good garden mold, or, where the soil is naturally light,
well rotted cow manure liberally intermixed is all sufficient. The beds com-
posed of the above compost should be well dug, to the depth of fourteen
inches, and raised from two to four inches above the level of the walks, and
in Winter may be covered with withered leaves, long manure, or with light
earth formed of decayed leaves from the woods. They should be planted
about six inches deep, and from five to six inches apart. Care must be taken
not to press the soil too hard around and over the Bulbs. To prevent mice from
eating the Bulbs don’t cover with litter until the ground has frozen tolerably hard.
For the culture of HyAcrnTHs in pots, prepare the above compost, adding,
if possible, a quantity of leaf mold. The most favorable time for planting is
September, October and November. The size of the pot depends upon the
number of Bulbs planted in a single one; three or four Bulbs ina pot of six
or seven inches in diameter, has a rich and massive effect ; one or two Bulbs in
each may be planted in proportionately smaller pots—two Bulbs in each is
very effective and generally preferred. In potting, each Bulb should remain
two-thirds above the surface of the soil ; when thus planted, water them well,
to imbed the Bulbs firmly in the soil, allowing them to remain in this condition
one or two days; then bury the pots in the open ground to the depth of
six inches, for six weeks, in which position the preparatory root growth is
made, necessary to a vigorous development of their flower scapes. After the
period adverted to, take up the pots and remove them to a room not heated
and not so cold as to freeze. Being exposed to the light for the first time, they
are, of course, very delicate. Care should, therefore, be exercised not to place
them in the direct rays of the sun for two or three days. When about ready to
flower bring them to the ordinary living-room, where the warmth will soon
cause them to bloom. By so bringing them out, afew at atime, you may
secure a beautiful succession of flowers all Winter. They will need moderate
occasional watering, until they begin to grow, when they should have an
abundance of air in mild weather, and plenty of water from the saucers while
in a growing state.
For culture in glasses, the Bulbs should beso placed that only the ass of
each touches the water; then place them, for the first ten days, in a dark but
cool closet or room, to promote the starting of the roots, after which expose
them to the light and air as much as possible ; avoid placing them near gas light.
The water should .be changed as it beeomes impure ; draw the roots entirely
out of the glasses, rinse off the fibres in clean water, and wash the inside of
the glass well. The water should never be allowed to freeze, as it would
not only burst the glass, but cause the fibres to decay. When the Bulbs are
well advanced, give them a soft shower of rain-water every day. This causes
the Bells to open rapidly, and enlarges the flowers. Single Hyacrnrus gener-
ally succeed better in glasses than double ones, but those of the latter marked
** are also adapted for water.
ts Parties unacquainted with the different varieties, by stating with their order
whether wanted for pot, glass or garden culture, will do well to leave the selection to
us, as they may rest assured that such selection will be made in a most judicious
and liberal manner. |
mingle Hyacinth.
Orders for BULBS should be forwarded from September to November inclusive.
In open Winter, or at the South, they may be planted as long as the ground can be
worked. All orders sent before the first of October will be sure to be filled ; after
hat time the supply of many sorts frequently becoming exhausted.
HYACINTHS.
The single Flowered Varieties are generally more effective than the Double ones,
and, as a general rule, the former succeed better than the latter in glasses.
The Double Varieties are distinguished by an Asterisk (*).
All Single Hyacinths succeed well in water,
_ thus ** are also adapted for glasses.

fone, eS:
Mode of treatment is the same as for Hyacinths. Almost every variety and shade of
color is now in them that was formerly to be found only in the oldest sort of Florists’
varieties.
Most of these TuLips are equally well calculated for pot culture and for tke flower
border. They can readily be brought forward for early bloom in the green-house, or even in
the dwelling-house; and in the border they group admirably with other varieties of Early |
Bulbs, or form by themselves most beautiful contrasts of color, when planted in vases.

AMARYLLIS.
These Bulbs, which are so remarkable for their
beautiful flowers, should be, most of them. cultivated
in doors, and but moderately watered, unless they
show indications of flowering. The soil most suit-
“ble for their culture isa good, friable, highly-de-
composed turfy ioam, with one-fourth part of rich
leaf mold or pulverized manure and the ordinary
proportion of sand in mixture. Frequent disturbance
of the roots is to be particularly avoided; allow
them to remain in the same pots for two or three
14 J. M. Tuorspurn & Co.’s CATALOGUE OF BULBs.
ANEMONES.
Soil about the same as for Hya-
cinths; if possible, give them a mod-
erately shady location; are perfectly
hardy, and flower in the Spring.
Plantin the Autumn. May also be
grown in pots, or forced in frames for
early flowers.

CLEMATIS COCCINEA.
A most desirable plant for any pur-
pose where climbing plants are re-
quired. It is an herbaceous perennial,
the stems dying to the surface each
Winter, (this is an advantage where
an unobstructed view is required in
Winter); the vines attain the height
¥ of from 8 to 10 or 12 feet, beginning to
flower in June and continuing until
frost; single vines have from 20 to 30
flowers on each, and frequently as
many as ten vines will start from one *
crown each season.
The flowers are bell-shaped ; in color
a rich. deep coral-scarlet, shining as
if polished, and lasting a long time
when cut. Indeed, one of the most
beautiful plants for festooning is to be
found in CLEMATIS CoccINEA with its
peculiar shaded green and elegantly
cut and varied foliage—if it never
flowered it would be a handsome
climbing vine; is perfectly hardy,
standing exposure in our severest
Winters without harm.
PRICE FOR STRONG ROOTS:
30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen.
CLEMATIS COCCINEA,
CROCUS.
FOR POTS AND BORDERS.
An universal fayorite, being one
{| of the earliest ornaments of the
_ Garden, neat, dwarf and compact
1) in growth.
For flowering in Pots, Hedge-
hogs, Baskets, &e., they should be
plunged in the open ground for
three weeks after planting, pre-
| cisely in the same manner as
| directed for Hyacinths.

IXIAS.
The Named New Hy-
brid Ixias are so beautiful
and rich in tints, that no
lover of bulbs should be
* without this gorgeous
plant; they are equally
adapted for pots or the
open ground, exceedingly
free flowering, and invalu-
able for cutting. If planted
out, they require rather
more cover than Hya-
cinths.
Extract from the
‘*Garden:”’
“Take a handful of [xtas
Jrom a warm sheltered
border, and carry them into
the vapour bath of an East ,
Indian house, and they will
hold thetr own against the
wiost rare and valuable
Epiphytes.”

RANUNCULUS.
The main soil for these should be aloam or clay with
a good dressing of rotten manure and leaf mold, and if
heavy a littlesand. Tohave them in perfection the soil
should be well drained, cool, deep, rich, and moist. Plant
late in the Autumn, claws downward, from. four to six in-
ches apart, and three inches deep, covering with fine pul-
verized soil. The TurBAN sorts are more hardy, and
although the same treatment is desirable, they may be
dealt with in a rougher fashion.

SNOWDROPS.
Perhaps no Spring Flower isa more general favorite than the SnowpRop. The earliest
flowering of its varieties is the common Single sort, which is also very graceful and beauti-
ful, commencing to bloom before the snow is fairly off the ground in the Spring. This is
succeeded by the double-flowered variety, with its elegant drooping snow-white blossoms.
