Japonica. In garden culture it flowers freely during the summer, and 
is perfectly hardy, but its great value is when grown in potsfor window 
and greenhouse decoration, and it is indispensable for forcing for cut- 
ting. The flowers are borne in large, feathery panicles of white, and 
last along time in bloom. One of the finest plants for winter and 
spring blooming. Fine clumps, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., or buyer 
paying transit, at 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $5.00 per 100. 
Nana Compacta Multifiora. Its merits consist in compact growth. 
ample foliage of brilliant green, and its wonderfully free production of 
feathery white flowers, borne in plume-like panicles of magnificent pro- 
portions. 15c.each, $1.50 per doz., or buyer paying transit, at 10c. 
each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 
Astilboides floribunda. This new variety is a great improvement 
over Spirea Japonica. The flowers are borne in large, feathery panicles 
of purest white, and last along timein bloom. It is dwarfer in habit, 
earlier and more profuse in bloom. This is undoubtedly one of the most 
beautiful and graceful subjects grown, its foliage and flowers combined 
making it one of the finest gems for winter and spring decoration in 
the house and conservatory, while for grace and elegance as a cut 
flower it is unequaled. Those who have tried it are enthusiastic in its 
praise. 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., or if buyer pays transit, 15c. each,

One of the most charming and useful of autumnal flowering bulbs. 
The flowers, which are produced from September to November, are 
much like a Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy and of such 
firm texture that they withstand any amount of bad weather, 
brightening up our gardens long after other flowers are gone. ‘They 
are not only very hardy, butincrease rapidly. (See cut.) 
S. Lutea. Large, pure yellow Crocus-like flowers, which are pro- 
duced with the leaves duringlateautumn. Thisis supposed by some 
writers to be the true Lily of Scripture, as it grows abundantly in 
the vales around Palestine, etc. 2 for 5c., 25c. doz., $1.50 per 100. 
Bulbocodium Vernum, 
Spring Colchicum. or Meadow Saffron.

the Crocus, producing masses of rose-purple flowers, very beautiful 
for edgings and patches here and there. Breaking up through thesnow, 
in juxtaposition with Snowdrops, it is a charming sight. Clumps of 
them dug up and potted in the winter and placed in a sunny window 
will soon be a mass of bloom. 3 for 12c.,35c. per doz., $2.50 per 100.
