MY GARDEN

THROUGH all ages , down the long vista of years, we find flowers interwoven in song
and story, in history and romance. Flowers are, so to speak, the link between heaven
and earth. What the stars are to heaven, flowers are to the earth. Every important
event we celebrate is markedly the use of flowers. We give expression to joy and mirth
as well as to our deepest grief through flowers. We deck the bridal altar and the bier whereon
rest our beloved, with flowers. But to those only who truly love flowers is given their deepest
significance. TLe exquisite joy in watching seeds or bulbs sprout, develop, and finally burst
into glorious bloom, is savored only by those who understand the life and nature of flowers.
To them this is a source of unalloyed pleasure. But, like everything in life, floral prizes have
to be worked for. Care and forethought are necessary. To have your garden decked with
flowers in spring, to have your home made beautiful through winter with gay blossoms, seeds
have to be sown during summer, bulbs must be planted in early fall. To have your efforts
crowned with success following points must be observed:

(1) Use only the best quality of seeds and bulbs.

(2) Give unremitting care and love.

(3) Have* a goodly store of patience in awaiting results. Last but not least, love the
flowers for their own sake. We will try to give as concise directions as possible in limited
space, but remember that “it is 'practice which makes perfect.”

The Glorious Darwin Tulips

Darwin Tulips

This grand race of tulips excels in variety and bril-
liancy of colors, perfect form of flowers and in tall
stout stems. They come into bloom after early tulips
are gone, being at their best the second half of May
and well into June. They are slow in developing and
therefore last much longer. The gigantic flower cups
rise far above the broad foliage, borne on sturdy stems
2 to 3 feet high. The flowers are self-colored with bases
of charming contrasting colors. They look superb
planted as regiments in massive beds, but most artistic
in harmonious colors as groups in hardy borders, or
planted in ribbons. They can be left undistubed for
years. The demand has grown to such large propor-
tions, that stocks are sometimes exhausted before the
end of the season. We recommend EARLY orders.

BEAUTIFUL HYACINTHS

Outdoor Culture

Any good garden soil will grow Holland bulbs,
although they prefer a light porous and Avell drained
location. If the soil is heavy or clayey a little sand is
beneficial.

Dig the soil 12 to 15 inches deep, raking it afterwards
to an even surface. Plant the bulbs 6 to 7 inches apart
very evenly covering them fully 4 inches deep from top
of bulb. Press in the soil gently around the bulbs but
not heavily as too heavy a pressure causes the bulb to
lift, after taking root. A handful of clean sand placed
around each bulb secures good drainage, and keeps
insects from attacking the bulb. After heavy frosts set
in, NOT BEFORE, cover the bulbs with leaves, ever-
green branches, or coarse stable litter. Best planting
time is during latter part of October up to middle of
November unless the season should be unusual and early
frosts set in.

NEVER, use fresh or half rotten manure, as this wall
burn the bulbs and failure will be sure. Bone meal is
excellent with a light and sandy soil.

Narcissi or Daffodils

Type Trumpet Narcissus

Narcissii and Daffodils

All are hardy, grow, and multiply season after season.
Wherever their gold and silver 'flashes, in beds, in
borders, or when naturalized in wild gardens, they are
jewels in Spring’s Diadem of beauty. The earliest sorts
beginning to bloom in March, followed by mid-season
and late varieties, a continuous display of these glorious
flowers is possible.

They can be planted in groups or singlv — if in groups
in the grass or lawn, plant 3 to 5 feet apart. The most
enchanting effect is obtained by planting single bulbs
not too close, 12-15 inches apart each way in a broad
path which, when blooming, gives an indefinite soft
fairyland effect, the flowers peeping over the grass,
waving about in the breeze. Succeed best in a well
drained rich soil, partially shaded from hot sunshine.
Cover the bulbs 1V2 times their own depth. Plant 3-6
inches apart according to size. In light sandy soil plant
deeper than in heavy soil. NEVER use fresh manure
near any bulbs. Use BONE MEAL as fertilizer.

NATURALIZING. — If grown for this purpose loosen
and lift the turf back with a spade, enrich the soil with
bone meal or other fertilizer, and after setting the bulbs
co\rer them firmly with the sod. Plant the bulbs when
the ground is moist after a light rain.

The POETICUS and POETAZ types are especially fine
in the grass.

Narcissi, Daffodils and Jonquils are THE bulbs for
pot culture Avhich never fail, the veriest amateur suc-
ceeding. See varieties best adapted in ‘-My Lady’s
Winter Paradise.”

CROCUS

The possessor of even the smallest strip of grass
should have it glowing with these jewel-like flowers.
The cost is small, once planted they come up year after
year, and do not interfere with the care of the lawn,
but the grass should not be mown for 2-3 weeks after
crocuses are through flowering. In planting observe :
Buy the BEST, GOOD-SIZED bulbs to give satisfactory
results. Do not plant too deep — a full inch deep is
quite sufficient. For planting use a dibble if possible,
by means of which you can pierce the sod, bend it
aside, plant the bulb and carefully place the sod over
it. Watch your time; wait till the fall rains have made
the earth soft, not sodden.

spring up as if by magic 2 to 3 feet high, crowned
with ubmels of from 8 to 12 large magnificent lily-
like flowers. The tints of a glorious evening sky

Bulbs Growing in Prepared Moss Fiber

It is to be deeply regretted that the French
government has forbidden the export of the lovely
Roman Hyacinth but Ave can offer in its place
bulbs of

Our Prepared Hyacinths (See NoA-elties)

which SPECIALLY PREPARED will flower for
the Holidays if planted early enough.

The bulbs may be set closely together 5-6 in a
5-6-inch bowl. Fill your bowl with Avell moistened
Fibre, set bulbs in position, leaving the top pro-
trude slightly over the surface, within a half-inch
of rim. Place boAvls in a cool, dark but AIRY
place. Do not allow the Fibre to get DRY but
ne\rer SOAK it. As soon as root growth is per-
fected, taking about 8-10 Aveeks, growth shoAvs.
When about 1-2 inches high bring gradually to
light and Avarmth. At first 50 degrees is ample,
to 60 degrees as soon as growth increases and
buds begin to deA’elop. On sunny days air should
be given to the plants but BEWARE OF TOO
MUCH WARMTH.

(See Novelties for the varieties Ave offer in the
PREPARED VARIETIES.)

Our Lady Hyacinths

Unequalled for HOUSE Culture. NOT ESPECIALLY
PREPARED, they require same treatment but take
longer for root formation and floAvering. For descrip-
tion and prices see page 4.

“My Lady’s Winter Garden”

There is “a cheery sunny smile and be merry atmos-
phere” about a home Avith blooming floAvers in it. A
dining table decorated with fragrant blossoms gives
zest to the A'iands — the old Romans understood this Avell.
Avore garlands of floAvers Avhen feasting and their tables
Avere laden with bright blossoms. But greatest joy lies
in PLANTING seeds or bulbs, fostering and watching
them groAA'. Have you ever noticed how quick ‘boughten
flowers” fade and die? A day or tAvo and they are
consigned to refuse. Avhile those you haA~e raised your-
self Avill bloom on for weeks and after cutting last for
many days. It requires but little labor, expense or
experience. To begin Avith a feAv boAA’ls, a few bulbs, a
little wait and then a house full of fragrance. Such a
AA*ealth of interest and joy — flowers in any and every
room, floAvers to bring a smile to the pale lips of a sick
friend — a Avelcome gift for any occasion — a study for
the little ones to learn and love.

NOW that it has been proA~en by years of trial that
bulbs will thrrve remarkably well in

Our Specially Prepared Moss Fibre

the one objectionable feature, the handling of soil, Is
eliminated. Every home can be glorified, the darkest
corner brightened with bloom. What is MOSS FIBRE?
It is a medium in which all bulbs will thrrve admirably.
The process of using materials other than soil has been
practiced in Europe, especially England, for many years.
We purchased the ORIGINAL recipe for Moss Fibre and
introduced this method 0A*er 10 years ago and we haA-e
since greatly improved it. adding ingredients particularly
for plant life and noAA' furnish

Our Improved Carbonated Moss Fibre

Avhich we guarantee to be absolutely PURE, SWEET,
and FREE from plant disease germs. Any bowl, pan or
jardiniere, glazed or unglazed WITHOUT the bottom
drainage hole, can be used. The Fibre is clean to handle,
odorless and the receptacles containing the flowers can
be placed anyAvhere. even on highly polished surfaces.
Many fibres have been put on the market, but we ask
for a trial SIDE BY SIDE Avith others to conA’ince our
patrons of the superiority of OUR PREPARED AND
IMPROVED CARBONATED MOSS FIBRE. We haA*e
hundreds of letters expressing the satisfaction experi-
enced with the new method. With every order we send
clear and concise directions which cannot fail to bring
success to the most inexperienced.

We furnish OUR PREPARED MOSS FIBRE

as follows:

1 lb. prepaid to your home, 30c.

3 lbs. prepaid to your home, 80c.

5 lbs. and over not prepaid, $1.25.

10 to 25 lbs. at 20c. per pound.

How to Succeed with Glass Culture

GLASS CULTURE — Colored glasses are best. Fill
glasses with water, until the base of each bulb rests on
the water, and set away in the dark as directed above
for pot culture. As fast as the water in the glasses
evaporates replenish, and if the Avater becomes impure,
change it. cleansing the roots well. A small piece of
charcoal in the glass will keep the water pure for a
long time. When there is a good growth of roots, bring
the glass to the light and keep in a cool room near a
AA-indow, but not in a close, warm room or near a
fire place. Keep the glasses sufficiently filled with water.

The Culture of all Hyacinths and Narcissus for the
house is the SAME. GOOD bulbs to start with. Larger
bulbs give more floAvers. Plant as soon as receWed for
early flowers, as early as possible, and continue to plant
about eA’ery tAvo weeks if you wish a succession of
flowers throughout the Winter. After planting, place
the pots in a cool (cool, means 50-60 degrees), almost
dark, AIRY PLACE, not a stuffy closet. Do not allow
the bulbs to dry out but keep moderately moist. As soon
as the bulbs form roots, which varies from 4-6 Aveeks
the flower shoots begin to grow. When these are 2 to 3
inches tall, bring to the light. A temperature of 60-65
degrees is at all times sufficient. Give fresh air weather
permitting and weak solution fertilizer (Oyama Plant
Food is to be recommended), after buds are formed is
most beneficial.
