C. Sericeum. Cinnamon Tree. 

 From the bark of the root of this 

 tree is gained the cinnamon so much 

 used in our kitchens; very interest- 

 ing and ornamental; leaves ovate, of 

 a deep glossy green; habit same as 

 camphor tree; should not fail to be 

 in any collection of rare plants. It 

 will always excite great interest. 75c 

 to $1. 



LOQUAT or "Japanese Plum." A 

 most beautiful ornamental tree that 

 bears delicious fruit. It is admira- 

 bly adapted for house culture. The 

 foliage is very handsome; the young 

 leaves are a silvery light green, the 

 old foliage, dark green. It could be 

 made almost as useful as Ficus 

 Elastica, and is much cheaper. 35c, 

 50c and 75c each.

 25c each. 



Bulbs. 



AMARYLLIS. One of the most 

 satisfactory bulbs. With a well se- 

 lected collection, flowers can be had 

 eight months of the year. They are 

 especially beautiful in early spring 

 and summer. I make a specialty of 

 these rare bulbs. They are strong 

 and healthy, and in sizes to suit the 

 purses of all customers.

A. Formosissima or" Jacobean Lily." 

 Called Jacobean on account of the 

 brilliant scarlet of its flowers, which 

 the Spaniards in Peru thought re- 

 sembled the scarlet swords worn by 

 the order of St. James ( Jacobeans.) 

 A distinct variety, brilliant scarlet, 

 with long petals which droop in a 

 most graceful manner. The flowers 

 are large. It is a fine bloomer, 

 blooming at intervals during the 

 year when well established. 15c, 

 25c and 50c each. $1.75, -$2.50 and 

 $3.50 per dozen.

 lighter shade of scarlet and a little 

 smaller, with a Avhite thread-like 

 line through the center of each petal. 

 20c, 35c and 50c each; $1.75, $2.50 

 and $3.50 per dozen. 



A. Belladonna Major. Bulbs grow 

 very large. Foliage is handsome 

 and grows through the late fall and 

 winter months. It dies down in the 

 spring, after which tall stems are 

 thrown up, producing six to ten 

 beautiful rose-colored, lily-like flow- 

 ers, with fragrance like ripe apricots.
