 deep brick-red; extra fine. 25 cents. 



AMARYLLIS JOHNSONII — Lovely bulbous plants 

 for winetr or early spring blooming-. Give plenty 

 of water while growing. When through bloom- 

 ing, gradually withhold water, so that they may

 ing the supply of water gradually. This is the 

 large crimson variety that is very popular. Im- 

 mense Lily-like flowers of deep crimson, borne on 

 strong stalks of from five to eight flowers. Very 

 desirable. Fine bulbs, 50 cents each.

 Amaryllis. We guarantee these to be the very best 

 of all Amaryllis, in fact you have never seen any- 

 thing to match them. Colors run largely to shades 

 of red. Any color you get will be glorious. While 

 they last, fine large bulbs at 50 cents each, or three

(Or Persian Violet.) Fine for house culture; 

 blooming in the winter. 25 cents. 



Milk and Wine Lily 



(Crinum Fimbriatum.) "I must tell you that Milk 

 and Wine Lily has done famous work. It has de- 

 veloped nine fine blooms, and there are two un- 

 opened buds. We, therefore, gave it a free ride last 

 Wednesday to our chapel services. It was admired 

 by everybody. There were Bostonians and people 

 from various towns to admire and enjoy it." — Mrs. 

 E. Adams, Mass. A grant sort. The most beautiful 

 of the Crinums. Its bulbs grow large, and its 

 strong-growing foliage is erect and sword-shaped; 

 flowers in umbels, very large and showy, three to 

 four inches in diameter, striped with white and car- 

 mine, and very fragrant. Fine bulbs, 50c each.

Calla Lilies 



Everybody Needs a Calla for Winter Blooming. 

 Here are the Best. 



CALLA ETHIOPICA — The old-fashioned sorts in 

 three sizes. Small bulbs that will blooni, 25c each; 

 large bulbs, 40c each; extra large bulbs, 75c each, 



THE GODFREY CALLA LILY, "Devoniensis" — Un- 

 doubtedly the finest thing ever sent out in the 

 Calla line, and quite indispensable. Blooms all 

 winter. Compared with the ordinary Calla, it 

 gives three blooms to one; it is snow-white and 

 perfect in form. Blooms on very small plants, 

 though it attains to a very large size with veTy 

 large flowers. The new Godfrey Calla Devonien- 

 sis is a wonder. Blooming bulbs, 35 cents each. 



GOLDEN YELLOW CALLA (Richardia Elliottiana) 

 — Entirely distinct and unlike all other forms of 

 yellow Calla; it has the same habit of growth as 

 the ordinary white variety, with flowers of same 

 size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous 

 golden-yellow color; the foliage is dark green 

 with a number of translucent creamy-white spots, 

 which add much to its beauty. It is but a few 

 years ago that this sold at a very high price.- 

 We are now able to offer strong, blooming bulbs 

 at 90 cents each; two for $1.50. 



| The three Callas, costing $1.50, 

 ■ for only $1.15. 



Spider Lily 



This is one of the prettiest and daintiest of all 

 Lilies. It is pure white with bands of a greenish 

 color through the flower; this green and the white 

 make a charming combination that everyone ad- 

 mires. The filaments and stamens of this choice 

 Lily resemble a huge spider; not repulsive, but the 

 most beautiful and delicate of all lilies. Each, 40c; 

 three for SI. 00. 



Lily of the Valley 



The modest bell-shaped flowers, of the purest 

 white, are highly prized for cutting purposes, and 

 for flowering in pots in winter they are exceedingly 

 well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting orna- 

 mental designs for the parlor or conservatory may 

 be produced by planting Lily crowns in Crocus pots 

 or in pyramidal pots made especially for this pur- 

 pose and pierced with holes. They will last several 

 weeks in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a 

 succession of different designs may be kept up all 

 winter. They are also forced in immense quantities 

 by florists, but they are the most charming when 

 grown in large patches in partially shaded locali- 

 ties around the lawn, near the borders of streams, 

 lakes, etc., being perfectly hardy. Price, 4 cents 

 each; 40 cents per dozen; 25 for 75c. 



THE WONDERFUL 



Japanese Kudzu Vine 



(Jack and the Bean Stalk Vine) 



This is the most rapid-growing vine that anyone 

 knows of. By measurement it has been known to 

 grow twenty feet in a week. The foliage is large 

 and tropical. It is entirely hardy. Everyone has 

 trouble in getting nursery-grown plants of this to 

 grow. We have prepared and offer pot grown 

 plants, the kind that have the crown to the plant 

 and ball of earth to the roots, and you try to stop 

 them growing and see if you don't run into a snag. 

 This is proving a great forage plant in the south. 

 All kinds of stock prefer it to hay or other common 

 feed. Try it. 35 cents each; three for 85 cents. 



Cinnamon Vine 



Bears white flowers with fine cinnamon fragrance. 

 10 ceuts each; three for 25 cents.

 spring, in long, drooping racemes, resembling in 

 size and shape a bunch of grapes. 25 cents; large 

 plants, 50 eents. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii 



(The Boston Ivy) 

 Clings firmly to any wall, building or tree. Green 

 leaves in summer, changing to red in the fall. 25 

 cents each; two-year plants, 50 cents. 



Hardy English Ivy 



Evergreen, with dark, glossy green leaves. 35 

 cents each. 



Clematis Paniculata 



Covered in August and September with a sheet 

 of clustered snow-white bloom of the most de- 

 licious fragrance. An arbor or portico over which 

 this Clematis is trained is a wall of white for the 

 time being, and it blooms when nearly all other 

 vines have ceased blooming. Perfectly hardy; 

 grows rapidly. Fine roots, 20 cents, three for 50 

 cents. Strong two-year field plants to bloom this
