THE DINGEE & GONARD COMPAiTZ. 



NARCISSUS POETICUS ORNATUS. 



Mjlicissus pqeticus. 



This, the Poet's Narcissus, also called Pheasant's eye, needs 

 no praise ; a clump should be in every garden among the shrab- 

 bery or in the grass; half dozen or dozen bulbs will make a 

 fine clump that will increase in size and beauty from year to 

 year; needs no protection during Winter; blooms very 

 early ; pure white flowers, with miniature saucers, edged with 

 bright crimson; exceedingly beautiful and graceful ; also can 

 be readily grown in the house in pots or vases, presenting a 

 charming sight. We offer fine bulbs of the best varieties. 



Poeticus (The True Poet's Narcissus). — Pure white flow- 

 ers with orange cup, edged with crimson; splendid for cut 

 flowers. 5 cts. each ; 6 for 25 cts.; 12 for 50 cts. 



Poeticus Flore Pleno. — Double white, sweet-scented 

 flowers. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 6 for 50 cts. 



Poeticus Ornatus (see cut). — We have a select stock of 

 this, the improved Poeticus; very large, well-displayed, pure 

 white flowers, beautifully formed eye; magnificent for pot 

 culture. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 5 for 40 cts.; 12 for 75 cts. 



The Blue Milla. 



This remarkable and lovely flower will attract instant at- 

 tention, as being in vivid contrast with the well-known and 

 popular Milla Bijlora, whose wa.xy-white flowers find a deep, 

 shining blue counterpart in this new variety. The Blue 

 Milla is of the easiest culture, and a few bulbs in a small pot 

 will prove a great novelty and attraction ; it will also grow 

 well in the same pot with other flowers, making a lovely con- 

 trast. The plants grow about 15 inches high, and produce 

 rich blue, star-shaped flowers in profusion at the ends of long, 

 graceful stems. 10 els. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 6 for 30 cts. 



FLQB^L FllEClJLCKll FLJLKT. 



This distinct novelty is well named. It belongs to the 

 Brevortia section of the Brodeisea family, and is the most dis- 

 tinct of all ; in fact, as will be seen by our illustration, it is 

 entirely unlike anything else, and will please all who like new 

 and striking flowers in their windows, as it is specially adapted 

 for a house plant, growing very readily in pots. The bulbs 

 can be potted tip when convenient during the Fall, and 

 treated like Hyacinths in pots. The color is deep, rich 

 crimson, tipped with greenish white, at a little distance an 

 umbel of flowers looking like a bunch of bright new fire- 

 crackers — hence the name. Every order should contain this 

 bright novelty. 6 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts.; 12 for 50 cts. 



NARCISSUS CORBLLARJA. 



MAICISSUS CQlBULJLim. 



This lovely and unique flower will please all for Winter 

 blooming, as it is easily grown and sure to bloom. Three to 

 five bulbs in a pot or bo.x will give numbers of charming 

 blossoms during January, February and March. The flowers 

 are clear yellow in color, with exquisite odor, and as is shown 

 in our cut, bell-trumpet shape, very odd. This variety is also 

 desirable for planting in the open ground for early Spring ; 

 it is entirely hardy and will become established, forming a 

 fine clump. 5 cts. each ; 3 for 12 cts,; 12 for 40 cts. 



Corbiilaria Citrina. — Lighter in color than Corbularia, 

 and blooms two to three weeks earlier. 10 cts. each; 3 for 25c. 



Corbularia Monophylla. — This exquisite little gem is 

 daintily small and pure white in color. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25c.
