MIXED TULIPS, 



I have a large stock of unnamed Tulips for bedding, which 

 I price so low as to make a large mass ol these showy flowers 

 a matter of trifling expense. They are excellent bulbs, and 

 will bear handsome blooms. Double and single colled ions are 

 keptseparate. Several hundred bulbsat the quotations below 

 involve less expense than is required to secure a few Summer 

 bedding plants, and in the matter of display they are fully a3 

 valuable during their season as an equal number of ordinary 

 blooming plants. 

 Superfine Mixture Single Tulips. — In fifty choicest 



kinds, splendid flowers. 25 cents per dozen; $1.75 per 



hundred* 

 Superfine Mixture Double Tnllps. — In fifty choicest

Scilla Sibirica, or Squill. 



Scilla Sibirica. 



STAR HYACINTH. Scilla Sibirica is one of the loveliest 

 Spring flowers. It has a color almost as deep as the sky itself. 



Quite hardy, and flowers out of doors at the same time as the 

 Snowdrop, in front of which it has a charming effect. Planted 

 in pots and kept indoors it may be had in bloom as early as 

 Christmas. Its magnificent, bright blue color makes it suitable 

 for any decorations whatever. Two for 5 cents; 25 cents 

 per dozen. 



SPARAXIS. 



Sparaxis. 



From the Cape of Good Hope, producing flowers about Itae 

 size and shape of those of the Crocus. The colors are of an IB- 

 finite variety. Pure white, yellow, orange, red, purple and Yie- 

 let are to be found, either separate or blended, in pleasing va<- 

 riegation. Three or four bulbs may be put in a four-inch pot 

 with good effect. They are charming. Try them. 3 cento 

 each; 25 cents per dozen. 



CROCUS. 



The Crocus is one of the first flowers of 

 Spring, and oneof the best for blooming 

 in the house* aHug Winter. Haifa doz- 

 en bulbs may be planted in a pot, and will 

 make a very pretty show. For garden 

 culture plant bulbs two inches deep and 

 two or three inches apart. They are so 

 cheap and pretty they ought to be found 

 in every garden in abundance. They 

 bloom splendidly when planted on the 

 lawn among the grass. They lift their 

 bright heads up through the sod very 

 early, and give the lawn a charming as- 

 pect. The sorts I offer are especially 

 strong and fine. 8c per doz.; 40c per 

 hundred, by express. If by mail, 

 50c per hundred.
