PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—AUTUMN-FLOWERING BULBS. 37 
The Bermuda x x w 
« ‘ Buttercup” Oxalis. 
An unrivaled winter-flowering pot plant, of the easiest 
culture, succeeding with everybody. Itis such a strong, 
luxuriant grower that one bulb will be sufficient for a 6 
or 8 inch pot, and the great profusion of bloom produced 
in uninterrupted abundance for weeks is astonishing and 
delightful. The flowers are of the purest bright butter 
cup yellow. Well-grown plants have produced as high 
as seventy flower stems at one time, and over 1,000 flow- 
ersin oneseason. The flowers, and frequently the leaves, 
fold up at night and open again in the morning, but when 
grown ina partially shaded situation the flowers remain 
open all the time. Properly treated, the plants will flower 
in six weeks from the time the bulbs are planted. 
We do not claim the Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis to be 
strictly a new plant, but a greatly improved selection 
from Oxalis Cernua, grown in the congenial soil and 
climate of Bermuda until they have attained great 
strength, producing bulbs, plants and flowers larger and 
more luxuriantin allparts than thetype. (Seecut.) Price, 
8 bulbs for 10c., 35c. per doz., $2.50 per 100,

ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM. 
& OXALIS. 
Charming little half-trailing or 
bushy plants particularly adapt- 
ed for pot culture and hanging 
baskets. The foliage alone is 
very attractive, and when in 
flower they are exceedingly 
pretty. The pots should be 
well-filled, from six to a dozen 
bulbs in a five or six inch pot; 
for the smaller species three 
or four inch pots are large 
enough; they may be potted 
at any time during winter and 
placed near the glass or window 
to keep them stocky and dwarf.
