These are among the handsomest of our sum-

 coloring of the flowers being beautiful in the 

 extreme ; flowers 2 inches long by !>.< inches diameter ; upright 

 and pendulous ; colors crimson, violet, rose, scarlet, whiti^, etc. 

 The bulbs should be started in Api'il, and after blooming all sum- 

 mer require a season of rest from November to April. This is 

 done by gradually withholding water from them. After they are 

 dried off, they may be kept in a warm, dry cellar, or under the stage 

 of a green-house, or any warm place where they don't get wet. 



40 cts. each ; 3 for $1.00 ; S4.00 per dozen. 



SEMI-DOUBEE HEEIOTROPE. 



Mrs. David Woods. This variety being semi-double, has a supe- 

 rior lasting quality when cut, the florets remaining on the 

 truss without falling much longer than the single varieties. 

 The trusses are large and compact and are very freely pro- 

 duced in winter as well as in summer, though in winter they 

 are not always semi-double. Under glass the florets have a 

 large distinct white centre. 



Price, 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per dozen.

 ing genus, embracing shades of white, pink and crimson. They

I received plants in good condition, and Ihey are larger than I expected. Please accept thanks, also, for your liberality in filling my order last fall, as extras more 

 than paid express. The Geraniums are the finest I ever saw, and have been admired by everybody. — Mrs. Sabah Thompson, Keokuk, Iowa, April 24tb, 1888.
