Alba—Pure white. 10c each; 75c per dozen. Rosea—Rose pink. 10c each; $ per dozen. Prepared Bulb Fibre Germain's prepared fibre is becoming more popular every season. It is far more convenient than potting soil when planting bulbs indoors, and replaces to advantage the pebbles used in growing Chinese lilies, etc., in bowls as it .contains plant food which stimulates the plant and improves the blos- soms. No drainage is needed, consequently any receptacle may be used and bulbs will bloom splendidly in a jardiniere, lily bowl, or dish having no perforation whatever in the base. This eliminates any danger of water and soil running through on furniture, floors, or carpets. The material is clean and free from any odor. Plant bulbs as you would in soil but do not press the fibre too firmly, nor fill the bowl too full. Keep moist but not too wet or sodden. Start the bulbs in a dark, cool place and bring to the light when sprouted an inch or so. Hyacinths, Narcis- sus, Chinese Lilies, Tulips, Freesias, Crocus, etc., are grown to perfection in this way. Price: Packet (enough for 6 or 7 inch bowl) 15c; per lb. 25c. V All Bulbs are Priced [17] F. O. B. Los Angeles.
