O. Arabicum. The Great Flowered Arabian Star of Eethle- 

 hem. A beautiful variety, throwing up a tall spike bearing 

 numerous large, milk white star shaped flowers, with a black 

 centre, and having a distinct aromatic perfume. They are de- 

 cidedly pretty and interesting when grown in the garden— but 

 are more largely grown for greenhouse and window decoration, 

 being of the easiest culture. A few displayed at one of the 

 flower shows last winter in New York attracted universal atten- 

 tion and admiration. Largely forced by florists now for cut 

 flowers. (See cut.) 15 cts. each; $£.50 per doz.; $8.00 per

 in succession for a long period. Specially adapted for pot 

 culture, a rare bulb. $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 



DOUBLE PJ50NIAS. 



Ready for delivery in November. 



These are noble plants exceedingly effective, the diversity of 

 color, variety of tint, profusion and duration of bloom, combined 

 with handsome massive foliage, accommodating habit, and easy 

 culture render them one of the most popular hardy plants grown 

 for lawn and garden decoration, or for mingling with shrubs, or 

 amongst herbaceous plants in borders and wild gardens. 



The flowers are large, massive, perfect in outline and most 

 beautiful ; indeed, it would be difficult to conceive a more 

 decorative and generally useful plant, rivalling in effect the Rho- 

 dodendron, and possessing the symmetry and fragrance of the Rose. 

 As a cut flower it is of great value, travels admirably, and supplies 

 the utmost variety of shade and color, from snow-white to the most 



intense crimson.
