WINTER BLOOMING BULBS.

Some of the most beautiful and fragrant of all the flowers grown belong to this class, and when potted in the house they come in bloom just at the time when flowers are most wanted and the most difficult to obtain. There is nothing prettier or more desirable than a window garden nicely arranged with these, and they will attract more attention than anything else with which it could be filled. During the fall as we see our Rummer favorites one by one failing and fading away, we are all liable to forget that this is the time to plant our bulbs in the garden for early spring blooming, and in pots for winter blooming. Don't delay in ordering them until the selection is broken and you are unable to get just what you want. Our bulbs, which are grown by one of the best bulb growers in Holland, arrive in this country about September 15th, and we usually have a good assortment of them for about two months. The best way is to order during the spring or summer, and then your order will be filled as soon as bulbs are received. When desired we will send directions for cultivation with the bulbs ordered. All bulbs are large and strong and are sent by mail prepaid on receipt of price. Hyacinths-Of all tbe bulbous flowers, the Hyacinth is the most beautiful and popular.
