-OF—

DUTCH BULBS

FOR FALL, 1894.

/V presenting our Catalogue of Hyacinths, Tulips, Lilies, &-€., we
^ would return our thanks to the numerous friends who have used our
^ulbs, and for the many commendations we have received. The increase in
our sales of Bulbs each year has been a pleasant surprise to us, and to meet
the increasing demand, our importations will this year be more than double
that of last year.

We do not aim to have the cheapest goods, without regard to quality,
but we consider quality first, and then make prices as low as the cost of
the goods will justify. To our carefulness in this respect we attribute
very largely our rapidly increasing sales and the satisfactory results that
have followed.

To Florists and Gardeners.

IVe will be pleased to make you special quotations on any "Bulbs you
may need, and invite you to call and inspect our stocks if convenient. If
you cannot call, let us hear from you.

SIX ORANI> NEW BERRIES.

We consider these six varieties the cream of the tested new sorts offered recently. There is no
doubt that they all have solid merit.

TIMBRELL. (P-) The most extensively advertised
berry ever introduced, and no berry was ever offered under
more favorable circumstances. It had become immensely pop-
ular even before its introduction, through the most satisfactory
results at the various points to which the originator sent it for
trial. Fruit is large, bright red, rich and of good quality.
Ripens late and is very productive. Price, strong pot-grown
plants, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100.

GREENVILLE. (P.) The. Fill-Basket of the mh Cen-
tury.'''' The most widely tested new variety yet offered. A
great improvement over Bubach, being a better grower, and
I with fruit of finer appearance The berries are large, bi'ight
crimson, and of good quality. Price, strong pot-grown plants,
1 50 cts. per doz., $3.00 per 100.

NEW LADY-FINGER (BELLE.) Here is what we
have been looking for— a berry having raanj' of the characteris-
tics of the old-fashioned and favorite .uady- Finger, constituting
fine quality, firmness, size and productiveness and length of
fruit ; in fact, resembling that variety more closely than any
other. "It is the longest of all berries." At this writing, it is
more than a month since the first Strawberries ripened, but
to-day'8 picking of the Lady-Finger are the largest of the sea-
son, showing its tendency to hold its size to the end of picking.

Season medium to latest. Price, strong pot-grown plants, $1

GREENVILLE, >^ SIZE. per doz., $6.00 per 100.

0AYTON. The Dayton is filling a prominent place. The fruit is large, regular in shape,
bright and attractive in color, firm and excellent in quality. Ripens vei-y early and continues in
bearing a long time. Plant is a strong grower, perfectly healthy and free from rust; stands the
dry weather and burning sun, and remains firm during the wettest season, as we found this year.
Price, strong pot-grown plants, 60 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100.

PRINCESS. (P.) " Eighteen berries fill a quart!'''' This is a "princess" indeed, and well
deserves the name. A small bed Avill produce a surprising amount of fine attractive fruit, and the
hest of fruit! Plant a strong, robust grower, hardy and healthy. Roots deep and stands drought
well. Ripens midseason. Price, strong pot-grown plants, 60 cts. per do,z., $3.50 per 100.

LEADER. This new variety somewhat resembles Sharpless in growth of plant and shape of
fruit, but is much earlier and is far more productive; really an improvement over Sharpless in
every way. Ripens early. Price, strong pot-grown plants, 60 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100.
LAYER PLANTS. Supplied in any quantities at low prices.

BliACKBERRIES.

WILSON, Jr. The largest known variety, of fine appearance and ripens very early. Very
productive and good quality. By its low, trailing habit of growth it is easily protected in winter
and well adapted on that account to cold climates. '

especially for family use. Very strong grower; berries large and fine flavor; exceedingly pro-
ductive. Season extends from medium to very late.

black, melting and delicious quality, devoid of core. Plant is entirely hardy, healthy, strong
grower and very productive.

CATALOGUE OF BULBS

Chinese Sacred Lily.

Joss Flower or Flower of the Gods.

This is grown by Chinamen for decorat-
ing their Temples or Joss Houses on their
New Year's day, which occurs in February.
They can readily be brought into bloom by
Christmas. It is very easily handled, and
may be grown in moist soil or in pebbles
and water. It is becoming very popular.

10 cents each, by mail 15 cents.
85 cents per dozeu, by mail $1.20.
Also Baskets at wholesale prices.

HOW TO CULTIVATE BULBS.

a NY good garden soil, well pulverized,
is suitable, but good sandy loam is
preferable. A dressing of fine bone
meal will be found very beneficial. Plant
the large bulbs about three inches below
the surface, the smaller bulbs not so deep.
The usual time for planting is in October
or November, but any time during the
Winter will answer, if the surface only
is frozen. After the bulbs are planted,
if hard deep frosts set in, cover with a
light litter, that may be raked off in .the
Spring. The bulbs will then shoot up and flower without further trouble. If
early Spring should prove dry, water well. The arrangement of the bulbs in the
beds is much a matter of taste and situation. They may be planted in rows, in
masses, in circles or half-circles. Each color by itself, or divided, or mixed. No
matter how arranged they will always prove interesting and beautiful.

After they flower and die down the bulbs may be allowed to remain in the
ground to flower the next season, or if beds are required for other plants, may be
taken up, soaked in water for about 12 hours, then dried and laid away for
replanting. Bulbs are so reasonable in price that it does not pay to keep the old
ones, especially as the flowers of the new ones are far superior to the old.

CULTURE OF BULBS IN POTS OR BOXES.

Pots for single bulbs should be twice the diameter of the bulb. The same
proportion of room should be observed when planting in boxes or in pots holding
more than one bulb. The boxes or pots should have proper drainage, so that no
water will lie in the bottom. The soil used should be good sandy loam, mixed
with bone meal. After planting, place the boxes or pots in a dark cool place for
three weeks, until the roots are well started, then gradually bring them to the
full light.

TO GROW HYACINTHS IN GLASSES.

Fill the glass with water. Place the bulb in the glass with the bottom touching
the water. Place the glass or glasses in a dark cool place for about three weeks,
or until the roots are three or four inches in length, and the flower stem one inch
high. After they are brought out and acclimated, the more sunlight they get the
better.

As the water evaporates it must be renewed, and changed as often as it
becomes discolored or impure. When the flower bud begins to swell, the water
may be brought higher up on the bulb. The temperature should be as even as
possible. A few drops of hartshorn in the water will help the bloom.

GRIFFITH, TURNER & CO.

Freesias-

These are among the most beautiful of all
Cape Bulbs, possessing a peculiar grace of form',
and their fragrance is most delightful, one pot of
five or six bulbs being sufficient to perfume a
whole house. As cut flowers they are extremely
valuable the unexpanded blooms opening in
water fill the air with the most delicate perfume,
and their endurance is really remarkable. They
force very easily, and can be had in flower at
Christmas, and continue in succession until June.
Extra size, 20 cts. per dozen ; $1.00 per 100; by
mail, SI. 25 per 100.

White Roman Hyacinths.

A charming class of Hyacinths, producing graceful white
flowers, of great beauty and fragrance. This very valuable
variety, if planted early in September and gently forced, will
bloom in November, or their flowering may be retarded till
Christmas by keeping them in a cool place.

We advise the purchase of the largest sized Bulbs as the
cheapest in the end.

The best effect is produced by planting four or five Bulbs
in one medium sized pot.

*'THE BRIDE."

Now being extensively used for forcing for cut flowers, as they are very beau-
tiful and easily forced. The flowers of "'The Bride" which are pure white are
produced in abundance and are much sought after, and command good prices.
For early flowering should be planted in 5 or 6 inch pots. 5 to 7 Bulbs in each,
and placed in cold frames or plunged out of doors until rooted, as with other
bulbs. For late flowering, can be planted in cold frames, needing only the
protection of sash, as they are nearly hardy. Grown in this way they will bloom
in June, giving a most beautiful crop of flowers, very profitable.

TULIPS.

Add for postage on Tulips at the rate of 5 cts. per dozen when ordered to be sent by mail.
We have given special attention to the selection of our Tulips and our
collection is unusually fine, embracing the choice leading varieties. For early
forcing the Due van Thol and early single sorts are best. They should be started
in September and treated the same as Hyacinths. Early in November they may
be removed into heat. The greater part ought to be potted from the middle of

September to the end of October.
For outdoor planting they should be
set 8 to 4 inches deep, and 4 to 6 in-
ches apart, according to the size of
the bulb. A few bulbs planted here
and there produce but little effect,
but when planted in masses, or in
small groups, they become at once
brilliant and grand, and surpass in
variety of coloring and picturesque
effect almost any other flower.

The letters A, B and C indicate
earliness of blooming. Those marked
A are earliest, B next, and then C.
L stands for late.

beautiful little flower, lifting its head almost
before the snow has disappeared. Blooming at
a time when the ground is destitute of foliage or
flower, it is a welcome visitor. They present the
best appearance when grown in masses in a bed
or in double or triple rows as a border for other
Bulbs, for which large quantities should be used.

There are no hardy plants which have more points of merit than the Narcissus.
Perfectly hardy in all latitudes, if planted in well-drained ground they multiply
and increase in attraction each year. They are as easily forced as the Hyacinth,
and a constant succession of flowers may be had from January to the middle of
May. The flowers are among the most attrac-

Sweet Peas.

FOR SOWING IN FALL.

Sveeet Peas can be successfully grown by sowing the seed in the Autumn in
rich sandy soil about 6 inches deep. Cover with straw or manure over winter ;
remove covering about March 20th or April 1st. Stake the plants, and if weather
is seasonable they will flower in May.

The wonderful advance made in the size, substance and variety of colors in
Sweet Peas in the past few years has placed it in the first rank among flowering
plants. But few plants are easier grown, and grown in masses of separate colors
or in mixture their beauty and fragrance cannot be surpassed.

MUSHROOM SPAWN.

Mvishrooms can be readily grown in cellars, sta-
bles, sheds or pits. Many are successfully grown
on a shelf in an ordinary cellar and yield sufficient
crops to compensate the grower for his effort.

The space under greenhouse benches or stagings
will suit them exactly, using materials in same
manner as described.

CULTIVATION.

The culti\'ation of the Mushroom is a
very simple matter and requires only or-
dinary intelligence and care. The ma-
terials needed are fresh horse manvire,
good soil and live spawn. The manure
should not be too short, as it does not com-
bine the necessary (qualities. Long strawy
litter, plentifully mixed with short ma-
nure, makes by far the best beds, as it does
not heat too violently, decomposes slowly
and retains its heat for a long period. Piit
in a heap and turn every three or four
days to permit the escape of noxious
Kases and prevent burning. When ready
l or use it should be as hot as can be borne
comfortably by the hand, and should also
he moist. Make the beds 3 feet wide at
the base, 2}^ feet high, and of any desired
length. The manure, when in proper con-
dition should be quickly handled to pre-
vent the loss of heat and be beaten down
to make the heap firm and compact, and
cover with long litter; Avhen the heat has
decreased to 90°, the bed is ready to re-
ceive the spawn, which is done by raising
the manure with the hand and inserting
pieces of spawn 3 inches square, 9 inches
apart each way. At the expiration of a
few days the bed may be covered with soil
to the depth of about two inches. If the
soil is poor add a liberal quantity of bone
meal.

When we consider the almost innumerable uses to which the Combined Truck and Hand Cart
can be applied, its handiness, and the immense amount of time and hard labor saved by its use,
it is not a matter of surprise that it is steadily growing into favor. It is one of those articles
that causes the user to wonder how he ever did without it, as it really becomes indispentable
when once used.

The barrel is raised from the ground, carried to the place desired and instantly detached,
all without handling. The weight being balanced over the axle, no lifting or down pressure is
needed in transportation.

Other barrels for various purposes can be used as needed, extra trunnions being furnished,
if desii'ed, which can be I'eadily attached to any oil or spirit barrel, thus increasing indefinitely
the value of the truck.

We have wheels of 1/^, 2)4 and 4 inch tread, but always send truck with wheels l>^-inch
tread, unless otherwise specified.

We also supply a box, with trunnions and spring catch, making a very superior dumping-
Hand Cart. Very stilf , compact, handsome, and low in price. Furnished with or without barrel
or box, as ordered. A first-ciass force pump, sprinkling attachment and leaf rack furnished as
attachmenis. Just the things for washing windows and carriages, and for spraying trees ; also
for sprinkling lawns ; the leaf rack is a very useful article for moving leaves, etc. from the lawn.
