CHIONODOXA. 



CROWN IMPERIALS. 



(FBITILLARIA IMPERIALIS.) 



Well-known Spring blooming 

 stately hardy border plants, with 

 clusters of immense pendant bell- 

 shaped flowers surmounted with a tuft 

 of green leaves. They grow tall and 

 are very effective, and if left undis- 

 turbed for years they form gigantic and 

 picturesque groups of gorgeous colors. 

 Excellent plants for forcing for con- 

 servatory decoration among dwarf 

 growing plants. {See cut.)

CYCLAHEH. 



Cyclamens are among the most beautiful Win- 

 ter and Spring flowering bulbs for window and 

 greenhouse. The flowers are not only of striking 

 beauty, but the foliage is also highly ornamen- 

 tal, consequently they are very decorative even 

 when not in bloom. There are no plants better 

 adapted for pot culture, and few that produce such 

 a profusion of bloom, the flowers range through 

 many shades of pink, crimson, white, &c, some 

 being beautifully spotted. Most of them are more- 

 over delicately fragrant. (See cut.) Price for Dry 

 Bulbs, 25c. each ; $2.50 per dozen. 



GIANT CYCLAMEN. 



(See colored cuts on back of cover?) 



The flowers of this magnificent strain are of ex- 

 traordinary size and of great substance. The leaves 

 are proportionately large and beautifully marked. 

 Our bulbs are from the most famous Cyclamen 

 grower in Europe and will produce flowers of rare 

 merit. (See cnt.) 



We offer the following beautiful distinct varieties: 

 Each. Doz. 



C. Giganteum Roseum, rose color, 75c. $7.50

The gentleman who discovered the C. Lucillre, in the mountains 

 east of Smyrna, thus describes it : " Near the summit a /mass -was 

 met in full splendor, forming one of the most sumptuous displays 

 of floral beauty ever beheld, a mass of blue and white, most intease 

 and brilliant." It is praised by all as one of the most exquisite of 

 hardy Spring flowering plants, and should be grown in quantities 

 mingled in with other bulbs, and in borders — under shrubs where the 

 effect is strikingly beautiful, and is also very valuable for winter- 

 blooming in the house and for forcing for cut flowers. (See cut.> 

 5c. each ; 45c. per dozen ; $3.25 per 100. 



COOPERIA, or EVENING STAR FLOWER. 



C. Drummondi. A night-blooming bulb, bearing from Spring 

 until September, pure white, star-shaped blossoms, with long tubes, 

 frequently 5 to 6 inches in length ; they aie exquisitely fragrant, 

 with the odor of primroses ; the bulbs are not quite hardy, but do 

 well in a sunny, dry situation if care- 

 fully protected, but the better way is 

 to grow them in cold frames. They 

 are excellent pet plants for winter 

 flowering and fotce well. Price, 5c.
