NERINE. 



Nerine Fothergilli Major. 



3 ancratium Calathinum. {Peru- 

 vian White Sea Daffodil) A Peruvian 

 bulb of strong healthy and quick growth 

 bearing cluster of large, striking, pearly 

 white flowers, very fragrant. It is ad- 

 mirably adapted for pot culture, and 

 can be forced into flower in 6 to 8 weeks' 

 tim«. or the bulbs can be kept dry like a 

 gladiolus during the winter and planted 

 in the open ground in May, where they 

 will bloom in July. A long row of these 

 bulbs in our grounds this summer was 

 strikingly effective and attracted much 

 attention from visitors. 20c. each; $2.00 

 per doz., postage zc.per bulb extra. 



0XAL1S. 



Charming little half-trailing or bushy plants 

 larticularly adapted for pot culture and hang- 

 ng baskets ; the foliage alone is very attrac- 

 ive, and when in flower are exceedingly pretty. 



(Guernsey Lilies.) 

 'I hese beautiful Lilies are perhaps the most popular and useful of the 

 Amaryllis family ; perhaps no bulb blooms with more certainty and swiftness 

 after potting ; for autumn and winter flowering they are extremely beautiful, 

 throwfhg up stems from 18 to 24 inches, surmounted with lily- like flowers 

 about two inches across ; colors very brilliant, and in the sunlight glisten as if 

 sprinkled with gold dust. 



Nerine Sarniensis. (Syn. Japonica.) Popularly known as the 

 " Guernsey Lily " and "Japanese Spider Lily" described by our Japan- 

 ese correspondent thus: " In some moist places it is so abundant as 

 appear like patches of scarlet, in September after the leaves have withered; 

 it sends up flower stalks 9 to 12 inches high which are crowned with umbels 

 of bright red flowers with long curved stamens, giving it an unusually 

 graceful and attractive appearance. It is here (Japan) perfect' y hardy and 

 is worthy of extended notice in the United States for ornamental planting." 

 We have found it an excellent and very showy pot plant. (See cut.) 

 Price 20c. each ; $2.00 per doz. 

 Fothergilli Major - . This is one of the most beautiful bulbous plants 

 for the conservatory or window garden. It is a vigorous grower, flowering 

 with great certainty and producing clusters of 

 large wavy petalled lily-like flowers of the most 

 glittering vermilion scarlet. It blooms at 

 various seasons. It requires potting 

 but seldom and rhould be left to 

 grow, blossom and increase for 

 several years, as well established 

 plants when in flower, are simply 

 magnificent. We know of no plant 

 that will give more continued delight 

 than this. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 

 each ; $10.00 per doz. 



ORNITHOGALUM. 



ArabiCUITl. (Arabian Star 0/ 

 Bethlehem) A beautiful variety, 

 throwing up a tall spike bearing nu- 

 merous large, milk white, star shap- 

 ed flowers, with a black centre, and 

 have a distinct aromatic perfume. 

 They are decidedly pretty and in- 

 teresting when grown in the garden 

 — but are more largely grown for 

 greenhouse and window decoration, 

 being of the easiest culture. Large- 

 ly forced by florists now for cut 

 flowers. (See cut.)
