IRIS PAVONICA. 



Iris— Fleur-de-Liis. 



An old favorite, too well known to need any de- 

 scription. All the varieties are beautiful and very- 

 effective in the garden or greenhouse. They may be 

 very successfully grown in pots. The soil used 

 should be of a light, rich nature. October is the best 



time in which to plant or pot them. Those planted 



in the garden should be lightly covered, to protect 



them from severe frosts. 



If by mail, add 3 cts. each for postage.

Ixia. 



The Ixia is not as generally known as it deserves. 

 Its little star-shaped flowers are unassuming, but very 

 pretty and very interesting. They present almost every 

 known color— three or four different hues appearing 

 in almost every flower. It is best adapted for pot-cul- 

 ture, and for effect several bulbs should be planted in 

 the same pot. Each. Doz. 100

Nerine, or Guernsey Inly. 



Appropriately named after Nerine, one of the fifty 



daughters of Xereus, all famous for their beauty. The 



flowers, which are bright, are borne in clusters on 



a stem from IS to 24 inches high, and no plant blooms 



with more certainty and rapidity after planting.

 Sarmensis— Bright red 20 $2.00 



Japonica— (Pink Spider Lily)— Beauti- 

 ful pink 25 2.25 



Oxalis. 



A very pretty and very desirable bulbous plant for 

 pot-culture, and well adapted for hanging-baskets. 

 The flowers are very abundantly produced, although 

 the bulbs are quite small. These should be planted 

 not singly, but a number in each pot, and if several 

 varieties are potted together a very charming effect 

 will result. They should be potted early in the sea- 

 son, usinglight, moderately rich soil. After flowering, 

 gradually bring them to a state of rest for a time.
