PETER HENDERSON & CO.— MISCELLANEOUS BULBS. 



ERYTHRONIUM GRANDIFLORTJM. 



The Giant Dog's Tooth Violet, is a beautiful plant, perfectly hardy, the foliage 

 is charmingly variegated, and a mass of 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight even when 

 not in flower, but when the graceful spikes of 2 to 4 creamy white flowers are in 

 bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist partially shady 

 positions and do very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming. (See cut.)
