mer-flowering plant, spreading 2 to 3 feet, throwing up 
great, tall spikes, 4 to 5 feetin height, each bearing 20 to 30 
white flowers. 5c. each, 50 cts. per doz., free by mail. 
MONTBRETIA CROCOSMIFLORA. 
This is one of the most floriferous and showy of autumn 
flowering plants, and destined to great popularity. When 
properly grown—. e.,a. dozen or more bulbs planted 6 inches 
apart in a groupin a sunny position and allowed to remain 
undisturbed for several years, protecting with a few inches 
of manure in winter—they will form magnificent clumps 
from 2 to 3 feet across, producing, in great numbers, grace- 
fulspikes 8 to 12 inches long, each spike bearing from 18 to 
30 exceedingly showy star-shaped flowers, about 134 inches 
across, of a gay orange suffused with red. They flower 
freely the first season, but clumps of two or three years’ 
standing are required to bring out the great merits. Price, 
5c. each, 50c. per doz., $4.00 per 100, free by mail.

MEXICAN STAR OR FROST FLOWER. 
(Milla biflora.) 
A beautiful Mexican summer-blooming bulb. A group of them is always in flower after the middle 
of summer and very attractive. Flowers, star-shaped, 2 inches across, clear waxy white, of greatsub- 
stance, enlivened by a frost-like sparkle; the fragrance is delightful. Place a stalk in water and 
the flowers will all open; we have seen 11 stalks shoot up successively from one bulb. The bulbs 
flower profusely and with great certainty. Height, 12 to1s inches. For an effective display, groups 
of 12 to 25 or more should be planted about six inches apartinasunnybed. (See cut.) Price, 8c.

ZEPHYRANTHES. 
“Zephyr Flowers”’ and ‘‘Flowers of the West Wind,” among 
our most beautiful dwarf bulbous plants, very effective for plant- 
ing out in masses in May, flowering with great profusion during 
the summer. They are also most suitable for pot culture; 6 to 
12 bulbs clustered ina 6-inch potin the autumn will give a fine 
display of bloom during the winter in the window garden or 
conservatory. 1 foot high.

MONTBRETIA ROSEA, 
DOUBLE PEARL TUBEROSE. 
This pure white, perfectly double, delightfully fra- 
grant flower, invaluable for bouquets, is too well 
known toneed any description. It delightsin a strong, 
rich, deep, well-drained, warm soil; manure, heat and 
water are essential to its perfect development. This 
variety, which we introduced and named, grows only 
twenty-four inches, about half the height of the ola 
double sort, and the flowers are nearly twice the size 
(often two inches in diameter), and imbricated like 
& camellia; deliciously fragrant. (See cut.) Extra size 
bulbs, 5c. each, 50c. per doz., $3.60 per 100, (If wanted 
by mail, add for postage 10c. per doz. extra.) 
TUBEROSE, “SILVER LEAF.” 
This beautiful variety deserves to be largely grown, 
as itis always showy and effective even when not in 
bloom, the foliage being distinctly striped, white and 
green. Each bulb frequently throws up two or more 
spikes, 3 to 4 feet high, each bearing from 26 to 40 pure 
white, waxy flowers, much like an orange flower or 
Stephanotis, with a delicate and enchanting perfume. 
They flower several weeks earlier than double tuberoses 
and the bulbs bloom year after year. Price, 10c. each, 
$1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. (Lf wanted by mail, ad&
