To Customers and Friends.
“SiN presenting our Autumn Catalogue we beg to say
7 that our stock of Bulbs is by far the largest and finest
we have ever offered. By taking fmany journeys to
Europe, meeting our growers year after year personally,
and making our selections on their grounds, we are able to
offer perfectly healthy, well ripened bulbs of a quality not ob-
tainable elsewhere and at remarkably moderate prices.
It is estimated that fully seventy-five per cent. of the
bulbs imported into the United States are second grade. Dis-
appointment and loss can only result from planting such stock.
We deal in first-class bulbs and seeds exclusively, and we appre-
ciate the patronage and kind recommendations of our thousands
of customers far too highly to lower our standard in any
respect.
Relying solely upon the high character of our bulbs
and seeds for the growth of our business, we do not resort to
sensational descriptions or extravagant illustrations in our
catalogues.
Early orders are solicited, and all communications
receive our careful personal attention.
Friends who receive this catalogue and have no use for it
will confer a favor by handing it to some acquaintance who
uses bulbs.

HYACINTHS.
REMARKS ON CULTIVATION.
HYACINTHS for POT CULTURE may be planted from Sep-
tember to December, though October is perhaps the best time for pot-
ting the mass. The soil should be rich and light; good loam, witha
very liberal mixture of old rotten cow manure, and a little leaf mould
and sand, will suit them well. Before potting, clear off all small bulbs
or offsets, place a piece of broken pot over the hole of the pot, and then
fill with soil, leaving the apex of the bulb just above the surface, and
press the soil firm. The soil under the bulb should not be pressed _be-
foreitis planted. After potting, give a good watering, and place them
in some out-of-the-way corner of the garden, where they can have the
requisite amount of protection from frost, till they are well rooted, when
they may be removed to the greenhouse, forcing-house, or drawing-
room, as may be required, keeping near the light, giving abundance of
water, and a moderately moist atmosphere. If new pots are used, they
should be plunged in water at least one or two days before planting the
bulbs.
HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.— The water should only just touch
the base of the bulbs; use pure pond or rain water mixed with two or
three grains of salt in each glass, to keep the waterclear, changing when
it becomes foul; but at whatever time it is given, it ought to be of the
same temperature as the air in which the bulbs are growing. Place
them in a dark, cool room or closet or cellar for four or five weeks, until
the roots have grown considerably, when they may be removed to the
light. Full light, the sunniest situation, and air are very desirable, as
they keep them dwarf and give full development and brightness to the
flower and color. On noaccount should they be placed near the fire or
in a dry atmosphere, as they will not succeed well unless put in a cool
situation, where frost cannot reach them. Fill up the glasses with wa-
ter as the level sinks by the feeding of the roots and by evaporation.
Single Hyacinths are the best for Pot and Glass culture.
HYACINTHS OUT OF DOORS should be planted from Octo-
ber till frost sets in. They succeed in any good garden soil. Add some
two inches of well-rotted manure, dig deep, and plant the bulbs about
five or six inches apart, with a little sand round them, and three inches
below the surface, covering during the winter with leaves, straw, or
pulverized manure, to protect them from frost. No spring flower can
compete with the Hyacinth in intrinsic beauty, grand and varied effect,
and delicious fragrance.
CHOICE UNNAMED HYACINTHS.

sold as Mixed Hyacinths, as they comprise free-flowering varieties of the most attractive col-
ors and shades. Ail are varieties which bloom about the same time and grow of nearly uni-
form height.

EARLY ROMAN HYACINTHS.
This beautiful and very valuable variety of Hyacinth is
more and more used every year for forcing and house cul-
ture. If planted in September and gently forced they will -
bloom in November, or their flowering may be retarded by SS
keeping in a cool place. The flowers, which are smaller than
the ordinary Hyacinth, are produced very freely, each bulb
throwing up several spikes of delicately scented blossoms.
In pots or pans they show to best advantage when five
or more bulbs are planted in each.

PULIPS.
All our Tulips are selected bulbs; they have no superior in size and quality.
For beauty of form and brilliancy of color, the Single and
Double ‘Tulips cast all other spring flowers into the shade.
Nothing can equal, much less excel, their gorgeous ap-
pearance in Beds, Lines, Ribbons, or Groups in the spring
garden, to which they impart as gay and rich an appear-
ance as the finest of summer bedding plants. In form,
they are the most perfect of all Florist’s flowers, whilst
their wealth of colors and the purity and variety of their
markings furnish abundant evidence of their extreme beau-
ty and effectiveness in any and every position in which
they may be placed. In selfs there are the finest shades of
purple, crimson, scarlet, pink, yellow, and purest whites.
Of striped flowers, there are purple, violet, crimson, rose,
puce, cerise, and yellow stripes on snow-white grounds,
and crimson, scarlet, maroon, and red flakes and feathers
on rich gold grounds. As they succeed with every one, we
recommend them with the greatest confidence. Inaddition
to using them for bedding purposes, they should be largely
grown in herbaceous grounds, in shrubbery borders, etc.,
in which a few clumps introduced at intervals have a most
magical effect. In pots, also, with from five to twelve
bulbs in each, they make fine specimens for the Green-
house or Conservatory; force equally well with the Hya-
cinths, and require similar treatment. For keeping up a
succession of bloom, we advise alternate planting of single
and double varieties, and undergrowths of Forget-me-nots,
pink Silene, etc., etc., for the fine contrast they afford, and
also to furnish the necessary foliage.
For out-door, plant in October and November, and even
in December should the weather be open and favorable,
about four to six inches apart, according to the size of the
bulbs, and from four to six inches deep. The same soil,
etc., as for Hyacinths will suit them well. A light cover-
ing is necessary as a protection from sharp winds. The hea ;
prices at which they are offered place thera within the Single Early Tulips.
reach of all lovers of spring flowers. All the varieties of Single Tulips force readily.
The bulbs may be lifted at the end of May and be laid in, in some reserve spot, until the foliage has ripened
off, when they must be taken up, dried, and stored away in sand.

Most excellent for early blooming; charming large golden and deliciously odoriferous
flowers, freely produced; of the finest effect either in garden, greenhouse, or conservatory.
May be successfully grown by everyone. These are delightfully fragrant and charming flow-
ers, and excellent for early blooming. They are species of the Narcissus tribe, and possess
many points of similarity with the small-flowered section of that large genus. Very attrac-
tive flowers for pot culture. In common with other Narcissi, they prefer a rich, loamy, and
porous soil, and when grown in pots may receive precisely the same treatment as that to
which Hyacinths are subjected.

LILIES FOR FORCING.
Of late years several beautiful varieties of Lilies
have become exceedingly popular as window, green-
house, and conservatory plants; they are also grown
in vast numbers for floral decorations. The bulbs
may be potted any time from August to November,
and they will succeed in any good potting soil. They
should be kept cool, and away from the air after
potting; before being forced the bulbs mst be well
rooted. The pots may be brought forward as soon
as active growth has commenced. For a healthful,
vigorous growth a free circulation of air, even tem-
perature, and judicious watering must be given. A
temperature ranging from 65° to 75° suits lilies best.

LILIES FOR THE GARDEN, ETC.
No class of plants capable of being cultivated out-of-doors
possesses so many charms as the Lily; rich and varied in color,
stately and handsome in habit, profuse in variety, and of. deli-
cious fragrance, they stand prominently out from all other hardy
plants, and no herbaceous border, however select, should be
without a few of the best sorts. With a well-selected collection,
Lilies may be had in bloom from June to October.
They should be planted from October to March, in good,
loamy soil, abundantly mixed with very rotten cow manure.
Plant about six inches deep, and during the winter it is advis-
able to cover the surface of the bed with a thin layer of ma-
nure, which will not only afford a slight protection to the bulbs,
but will materially enrich the soil. In spring the manure may
either be removed or dug in between the rows.
Nearly all of them are deliciously fragrant, and the cut flow-
ers are most excellent for the table, bouquet, vases and glasses,
the flowers being very lasting, and opening full to the last bud in
water.

SACRED LILIES, OR CHINESE NARCISSUS.
NEW YEAR’S LILY.
This is a beautiful and interesting
variety of WVarcissus Tazetta. It was in-
troduced in Boston a short time ago by
the Chinese, who grow and flower it ad-
mirably in their shop windows. It is very
easily grown in water, and if set in the
centre of a shallow dish, with small
pieces of marble or stones, the roots will
form a beautiful net work, and the bulb
will flower freely. One bulb we grew had
ninety-seven expanded flowers at one
time. The flowers are yellow and white.
Very attractive and excellent for window
culture. :

JAPANESE SACRED LILY,
A fragrant, early flowering variety of Narcissus imported from Japan. The bulbs.
should be placed from seven to ten in a bowl or glass dish of water, partly filled with pebbles,.
some of which place around and over the bulbs to keep them in position. Place in a sunny
window and change the water frequently. Each 5 cents; doz. 50 cents.
Bowls and Shallow Dishes suitable for Chinese and Japanese Sacred Lilies, can be
supplied. Both these varieties of Narcissus succeed admirably when grown in pots:
treatment and soil same as for the yacinth.

NARCISSUS.
The Narcissus is a very fine genus of
_early-blooming plantsincluding the Daffo-
dil and Poet’s Narcissus. Most of the
varieties are perfectly hardy, and may be
planted like the Hyacinth. They do well
in nearly any soil, and are very effective
when planted in groups and lines; with a
little extra care in providing an under-
growth of Anemones, Scillas, blue Myo-
sotis, pink Silene, or other dwarf spring
flower, the effect is truly magnificent.

HYACINTH GLASSES.
Hyacinths grown in glasses are
beautiful and interesting from the
first appearance of the long, white,

the family circle for months, at a
nominal expense, that we urge
