HOW 10 GROW BULBo.
A Few Hints on
Their Culture.
Bulbs as Winter Bloomers.
No other class of plants are more sure to grow and
bloom, have greater beauty or fragrance, require so
little care or give greater satisfaction in the window
garden in winter, than those grown from many of the
fall bulbs.
Treatment of Bulbs in Pots.
For early flowers most varieties should be

Time.—May be done any time from the last of
September to the first of January, where the ground
remains unfrozen, but, if possible, should be done
in October or early in November.
Soil.—Any good thoroughly drained soil will grow
bulbs well. If it should be a heavy clay it would be
best to add sand and well rotted manure to make it
loose. The surface of beds should be slightly raised
at the center so that water will run off quickly, as
bulbs are liable to rot if water remains on the beds
any length of time.
Winter Protection—Before winter sets in cover
the beds with 4 to 6 inches of leaves, if they can be
had; if not, coarse manure or straw will do very
well. If leaves are used, throw on a little brush or
earth to prevent blowing off. In the South, where
the ground does not freeze more than a slight crust,
they will require no protection. In the spring, say
March Ist, remove half of the covering, and the bal-
ance of it as soon as plants begin pushing through.
Depths and Distances for Planting —The rows
should be from 6 to 12 inches apart, and the bulbs
4 to 8 inches deep, according to size of bulb.
Hyacinths in Glasses—Grown in this way Hya-
cinths are elegant ornaments for the sitting room or
parlor, and can be grown with very little trouble.
Fill the glasses with water so that the base of the
bulbs will just touch it; set them away in a cool,
dark cellar or closet until the roots have touched
the bottom of the glasses, when they may be brought
to the light.
potted in September, and for a succession of
Y, flowers at intervals up to December. A very
Jax ; good soil for the growth of bulbs is com-
Ail posed of one-half good garden soil, and the
remainder equal parts of well rotted manure
or leaf mould and sand well mixed together.
We can supply potting soil in any desired
quantity. See page 29. The size of pots
used depends on the size of bulbs and effects de-
sired. For one Hyacinth bulb a 5-inch pot should
be used; for Tulips use 4-inch pots. A very pretty
effect is produced by putting three or more Hya-
cinths or six or more Tulips of different colors in
a 7-inch or 8-inch pot. Narcissus require about the
same size pot as Hyacinths. Other bulbs likewise,
according to size.
In potting, fill the pots to the rim with soil, press
the bulbs into it until they are covered, then press
down the soil around the sides of the pot, then thor-
oughly soak the soil and pot in water. The pots
should now be placed in a cool, dark situation, so as
to encourage a strong growth of roots before the
bulbs start at the top. A very good place is a cool
cellar, or a trench may be dug in the open ground,
and the pots placed in it and covered with six or
eight inches of soil; then cover over that with suf-
ficient leaves or coarse manure to keep out frost, so
they may be got at when wanted. If set in the cellar,
they will need a little water every ten days to pre-
vent getting dry. They should also be protected
from mice and rats. In six or eight weeks they will
have made sufficient root to admit of their being
brought to the light. As they begin to grow, water
freely, so that the soil may be moistened to the bot-
tom of the pots. By. bringing in a few at intervals
of eight or ten days, a succession of flowers may be
had for months. When brought into the window
they should be kept near the light, but not in the
sun any great length of time; a temperature between
50 and 60 degrees is desirable.

One of the most popular and charming bulbs we offer for pot culture, for
flowering in the winter and spring. 6 or 8 bulbs should be planted in a 5-inch pot.
They can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen or more
pots started at intervals they can be brought in a few pots at a time, thereby
keeping up a continucus display of bloom throughout the winter. The flowers
are produced 6 to § on stems about 9 inches high, and are very useful for cutting,
remaining in good condition, if kept in water, for two weeks.

HYACINTHS
Are rightly given a large space in catalogues on account of their great popularity. Their
pretty flower spikes are a sure reward for perhaps a dozen different ways of culture, and will
bloom at any time (if properly planted) between early December and late in May.
Planted outdoors they are one of our earliest and prettiest spring flowers.
For windows in winter they are almost indespensable.
The colors and forms suit all tastes—rich dark crimson tints,
purple and red, or soft tones of pink, blue and primrose, ivory of
pure white.
The Roman Hyacinths are the perfection of lightness and grace,
while the heavy, rich flower-stalks of the Dutch
Hyacinths are often so large as to require staking.

These are, under any method of culture, more easily grown than the
double ones, and produce larger and more flower spikes. They are
especially preferable for growing in pots or vases of water. Named
varieties should always be used to obtain the best results, especially
for the house, as they are not only chosen for large size but distinct-
ness of colors. We do not hesitate to offer our bulbs as strictly first-
class, as we import them direct from Holland, and do not try to com-
pete with prices of common graded bulbs. The named varieties be-
low are the very best selections.

or leaves; also a mulch should be used in summer, as the rays of the hot
sun may injure them. A well-drained soil suits them best. Manure should
not come in contact with the bulb. They should be planted about six inches

Culture.—Being parnelly aquatic, this plant must have plenty of water. Take a shallow bowl, cover bottom with an inch
or two of sand or small pebbles, set the bulb on this and put enough gravel around it to keep it from falling over. Fill the
bowl with water half way up the bulb; place in a light window where the sun will not shine on it. Succeeds best in a tem-
perature of about 50 degrees. !

with scilla or crocus. They may also be potted and be had in
‘ bloom by Christmas. They are becoming general favorites.

The Tulip can supply a brilliancy of coloring not approached
by any other flower in spring. The rich shades and markings on
its petals areas varied as they are bright. It is as hardy as the
Hyacinth, and as easy to grow, requiring the same culture, and
can remain in the ground for several years without disturbing,
and will produce flowers almost equal to those of the first year.
The named varieties should always be used to get the most
satisfactory results. Select the varieties that bloom at the seme
time, and grow about the same height. Should you desire a tall
variety, ‘put it in the middle of the bed. Our stock of Tulip
bulbs are ‘‘ finer than ever’’ this season.
The sorts that bloom together are indicated by the letters A, B,
C, preceding each. The height to which they grow (in inches) is
indicated by figures preceding the name of each.

Nephrolepsis Exaltata Bostoniensis.
A variety which originated in the vicinity of Boston,
where it has been in popular favor for a number of years

sis, which differs from the ordinaey Fern in having
much longer fronds, which frequently attain a length
of four feet. These fronds arch and droop over very
gracefully, on account of which it is frequently called the
Fountain Fern. This drooping habit makes it an excellent
plant to grow as a single specimen on a table or pedestal.

KENTIA
BELMOREANA(
NEW LEMON.
AIMERICAN WONDER. (Ponderosa. )
This new variety of Lemon has had a great run during the past
season, and every one seems to be pleased with it. It makes a splendid
pot plant, as its glossy, dark-green, leathery leaves are not only very
ornamental but fragrant. If it never produced either blossoms or fruit
it would still be of great value as an ornamental plant—equal to the
palms, rubbers, etc. It stands rough usage and even neglect, and still
look well. In size and fragrance its flowers excel the orange blossoms;
are bourne in immense pure-white clusters, remaining some time before
falling. A plant in bloom, will fill the house with fragrance. It begins
to bear fruit when quite small, as we have had them in fruit when not
over 18 inches high. On large trees, 5 to 6 feet high, the fruit is often
of immense size, some specimens weighing 4 pounds, while the average
would be fully half that weight. The rind is very thin for such large
fruit. The fruit is very juicy, makes delicious lemonade—in fact is
not excelled by any other variety for fine flavor. It is an everbearing
variety, as there are blossoms and fruit in all stages of development to
be seen on many of the older specimens. It is much hardier than the
orange, and is bound to become popular, especially in the South, where
they may remain out all winter. We send printed instructions for their
care with each order. It is of very easy culture. Our stock is unex-
celled, having been grown by us from that purchased of the originator.

PALMS.
All Palms sent by express, purchaser paying charges, unless
otherwise noted.
Palms will do well with little or no direct sunshine, and can be
placed about the house with little regard to it, for the greater part of
the time. Water thoroughly but not too often. A good garden ‘loam
with some rotten sod or leaf mold mixed in it is best for them. In
summer or when confined to dry furnace heat a daily sprayiig is good;
otherwise once a week will do. We have grown the kinds offered
especially for use in the home, and they are good, strong, healthy
plants. No other plant is more ornamental, or adds a more refined
influence than a few palms. With ordinary care they will last for years.
We will repot them at small cost to anyone near us. Our Palm Tubs,
offered on another page, are best for them.

PHOENIX RECLINATA.
A fine decorative palm; one of the finest vase plants, particularly
for outdoor decoration. It is of very robust habit, and very easily
grown. Will not burn under the hottest sun, and stands whipping by
summer storms without marring its beauty. Very effective when plant-
ed in earthen vases, and in this way is particularly ornamental for dec-
orating court yards, verandas, etc. This is the palm that was used so
largely in vases throughout the grounds of the World’s Fair. It
thrives under more unfavorable conditions than any other palm, for
which reason it is particularly adapted for hallways or other positions
where other palms would not exist. Plants from‘{5-inch pots, $1.00;
from 6-inch pots, $1.75; from 7-inch pots, $2.50.

FOUR HARDY CLIMBING ROSES
POSTPAID, EACH, 15C; 4 FOR 40C.
It may be well to give the caution that Climbing
Roses do not require the close annual pruning that
the Hybrid Perpetuals need, nor will they submit to
it and produce flowers. The long shoots or canes of
the climbers bear short side branches, on which the
flowers are borne, and the plants are capable of bear-
ing great numbers of flowers annually; these side-
growths are therefore to be encouraged. Cut out alJ
old canes and cut back to the side shoots for renewal,
Baltimore Belle—Pale blush, shading to rose; dou-
ble flowers in clusters.
HARDY ROSES.
Prairie Queen—Extra fine, free bloomer, flowers
large, bright rose, sometimes striped white. De-

called prepetual blooming climbing Jacqueminot, the
color of which it strongly approaches, but is more
vigorous, producing ten times the number of flowers

Mary Washington—A hardy perpetual blooming
climber, bearing large double fragrant white roses,
usually in large clusters, in great abundance; a vig-
orous and rapid grower.
POT GROWN, BUDDED, READY IMMEDIATELY FOR FALL

HOW TO MAKE A LAWN,-—It is told very accurately in our 32-page booklet, *‘Grass Talks.”
tail, from the preparation of the soil, the time to sow, the quantity of seed needed, to the finished jlawn, is told
that no mistakes can be made. Itis sent free to customers. 20 cents per copy to others.
Livingston’s Capital Lawn Seed Mixture
We have made the subject of Lawns a study for many
years and this mixture has been prepared and sold by us in
all parts of the country, giving general satisfaction.
In making a lawn great care should be taken to use only
the very best quality of suitable lawn seed so as to produce a
soft velvety evergreen sod.
Our mixture weighs about 20 pounds to the measured bushel
and is not surpassed by any on the market.
Quantity of Seed Required to Sow an Acre (48,560 sq. ft.)
For new lawns, not less than four bushels; for renovating old
lawns, from one to two bushels.
A pound of our mixture will sow about 500 square feet.
Prices:—First Quality, per lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00: 1 bu., $3.50;
2 bu., $6.50; 5 bu., $15.00. If to go by mail, add to the above
prices 10c per pound for postage.
Livingston’s Lawn Seed Mixture can be had with or without
White Clover, as customers prefer.
Our Lawn Grass Mixture for Shady Situations.
On pa pt Bla lawns there are shaded, bare and unsightly
spots on which the owners have difficulty in getting a stand
of grass; for such places this mixture is egies . Should
the ground have become “‘sour,”’ or drainage defective, it
is apt to be covered with moss. If such is the case apply some
lime or land plaster to sweeten it, after first removing the
moss, then rake ae and sow the seed at the rate of
not less than four bushels per acre. Price, pound, 40c; 5 Ibs.,
$1.75; bu., $6.50. If to go by mail, add to the above price
10c per pound for postage.
Golf Links Mixture.
We make a mixture of grasses suit-
able to the purposes of the Golf Links,
as it will stand rough usage. We can
also make up any desired mixture if
formula is submitted. Let us name
you prices on our own or your mix-
ture.
Kentucky Blue Grass.
Many prefer plain Blue Grass to
a mixture, and it cannot be denied
that it produces a beautiful and
lasting lawn. It takes longer, how-
ever, to get it established. Price,
(Fancy clean seed), pound, 30c; 3
lbs., 60c; bu. (14 Ibs.), $2.00. If
to go by mail, add to the above price
10c per pound for postage.

sow 1% to 2 bushels. (Bu. 12 lbs.) Lb. 35c; 10 Ibs., $2.60.
LAWN FERTILIZER.
Old and new lawns require stimulating after the long dra
through winter, or in the fall after the season of cutting an
the heat of summer. Bone Meal we have found, after years
of experience and tests, to be the best adapted to the wants
of the lawn. It should be sown broadcast, from the middle
of February to first of May in spring and from September
to November in the fall at the rate of 600 to 800 pounds per
acre, according to condition of lawn. In provaring a new
oroughly
or post-
lawn use a liberal quantity and rake it in t before
sowing seed.

in producing fine singers, having made a business of it for several hundred years. They come from the Hartz Mouutains dis-
trict, hence the name applied to them. Our first shipment arrives about September Ist. Price—Males, $2.50; females, $1.50.
READ WHAT A CHICAGO MAN SAYS OF A BIRD HE PURCHASED OF US:
“The IMPORTED GERMAN CANARY BIRD, secured from your house, is
the finest singer in the United States. Has more sense than all the birds in Chi-
cago. Isa perfect pet, and will sing at any time by asking him to do so. Not
only a daylight singer, but sings as long as the gas is lighted.’
This is the name of a Strain of canaries coming from a small town by that name away
ST. ANDREASBERGS up in the Hartz mountains, where they receive months of careful training in that
clear, ringing atmosphere, by using the very best singing canaries the world produces, before they are offered for sale. We have
had birds that would make eight changes during one song. Their water, fiute and bell notes are exquisite in their clearness. and
are unapproached by any other of the feathered songsters. Our first shipment arrives about October Ist. Price—No. 1 Birds,
$5.00. No. 2 Birds, $4.00. Females, $2.50.

MICA-CRYSTAL CRIT.
Mica-Crystal Grit is made from rock of peculiar formation,
composed partly of quartz, and partly of mica, thus forming
what is termed a flaky rock, which, when subjected to pres-
sure, will scale or flake, in the gizzard, thus coustantly re-
sharpening themselves until they are entirely used up. It is
absolutely necessary to the health of fowels that grit be sup-
plied at all times; and this is especially true where they are
confined or when snow is on the ground. We supply it in
two sizes, for chicks or grown fowls, at the same Tange of

CUT FLOWER DEPARTMENT.
HE growing demand for Cut Flowers, coupled with the growth of this branch of our business, has led us to make
more extensive preparations for handling Cut Flowers. Wemakeita point to have in stock all the new and
latest flowers in their seasons, and can fill almost any sized order on short notice. We prefer that parties wish—
ing flowers give us as much time as possible in which to fill their orders. We ship Flowers and Floral
Designs safely within four hundred miles, and, as Columbus is centrally located, should reach destination in a few
hours after leaving here. This department is in capable hands, and we are prepared to fill all orders, whether they
be large or small. 2
All our flowers are grown by ourselves, with the exception of some kinds. and these we have placed with com-
petent growers who furnish nothing but first-class stock. A trial order will convince you.
How to Order.—If you wish to purchase a Floral Design for funeral or other purpose, telegraph or telephone
vs, or write if you have time, stating what kind of design you want, how much you wish to pay for the same, and we
will fill accordingly, always giving the customer full value for money sent. If you are thinking of giving a party, or
intend getting married. and will want some flowers, (which, of course, are necessary articles at a wedding), send to us
for prices and ideas. Weare always in position to quote lowest prices on first-class stock.
Remittance.—To insure quick delivery cash should accompany all orders, otherwise we would have to send
same C, O. D , which sometimes causes delay.
WE GIVE SATISFACTION, WITH ALL ORDERS, LARGE OR SMALL.
