Arabicum (Arabian Star of Bethlehem). 



A strikingly beautiful plant, native of Arabia. 

 The bulb resembles the Hyacinth and should be 

 treated in a similar manner. The leaves are long 

 and. narrow, and immense clusters of beautiful 

 and very fragrant white flowers, with a jet black 

 center, are borne on stems from eighteen inches 

 to two feet high, presenting a very attractive 

 appearance, and remaining along time in bloom.

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 abun- 

 dance of flowers. Give them a rather shady place 

 in the garden. Each. Doz. 100.
