OlKQTHQQALIlM AlAlIOBM, 



A Splendid Winter Flo'svering BiUb. Sure to bloom. 



This magnificent new Winter-blooming bulb from Arabia 

 gives great satisfaction. The bulbs are large and solid, some- 

 what resembling Hyacinths ; the leaves are long, narrow and 

 graceful ; flower stalks are thrown up to a height of 1 8 or 20 

 inches, and produce immense clusters of pearly-white flowers, 

 each having a jet black centre. This distinct character, 

 together with the durability of flowers, makes this grand 

 novelty the best Winter bloomer now offered. Bulbs can be 

 planted in 4-inch pots, and given the same culture as Hya- 

 cinths. If planted in open ground, they should be given 

 slight protection. Price of bulbs, sure to bloom, 10 cts. each ; 

 3 for 25 cts.; 12 for 90 cts.

We offer the Trjie Feathered Hyacinth ; it is a very curious 

 plant, and well worthy of culture in pots as an odd and in- 

 teresting flower. In pots, culture is of the simplest ; it, how- 

 ever, does best in the open ground, where it is entirely hardy 

 and will become estabhshed. As will be seen by our illus- 

 tration, the flowers are borne in the form of feathery plumes 

 on graceful stems ; the color is deep blue, tinged with red.

Our illustration, which 

 was copied from a' large 

 colored plate sent out by 

 the Royal Horticultural 

 Society of Holland, is the

 mountains of California, 

 hence its popular name.

 house in manner shown, 

 and requires no special 

 culture. The flowers are a 

 beautiful rose color, and 

 are borne in dense num- 

 bers, a single bulb produ- 

 cing 15 to 30 umbels ; the 

 twining scape is often over 

 10 feet long, and does best 

 when twined in and about
