This is not unlike our Spring-blooming Hyacinths. Its leaves 
are deep green, fleshy, resembling some of the Yuccas, The 
flowers are white, in handsome, pendulous bells, arranged on 
pyramidal spikes, often reaching to the height of three feet or 
more in strong plants. A strong bulb, will give from two to 
three flower spikes, and these produce from thirty to fifty flow- 
ers. The plants come into bloom in July, and bloom continu- 
ously until October. Itishardy. See cut. Price, 1ocents each;

TRITILEA UNIFOLIA. 
TRITILEA UNIFOLIA.. 
This is one of the choicest additions to Winter-flowering 
bulbs that has been offered in many years. The bulbs are 
small,and severalcan be plantedin a pot, each one of which 
will send up several flower scapes, bearing star-shaped blossoms 
one inch in diameter, pure white, elegantly lined with celestial 
blue. As the flowers follow each other successively, and last 
a long time before fading, a pot of these bulbs is never with- 
out flowers for several months in midwinter, They are also 
quite hardy, and can be planted in the open ground, where 
they will bloom elegantly in the early Spring. I earnestly 
advise all lovers of flowers to plant this beautifal gem. It is 
sure to delight you. Itis of the easiest culture, and always sure 
to thrive. Price, fine bulbs, 4 cents each; three for 10 cents; 
twelve for 35 cents.
