Arabicum (Star of Bethlehem) — Flowers white with a jet black 

 center, borne on stems from 18 inches to 2 feet high.. 



$ .03 $ .30 $2.00 



RANUNCULUS. 



A garden or greenhouse plant, also suitable for house culture. It is not quite 

 hardy enough to bear planting in the garden in the fall, but as the bulbs can be kept 

 in a dry state until spring, they may then be planted and will produce an abundance 

 of flowers. Give them a rather shady place in the garden.
