OXALIS. 



VARIOUS KINDS 



Charming little half traihng or bushy 

 plants particularly adapted 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 si.x 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.

 25c. per doz., $1.75 per 100.

ArabiCUm. (Arabian Star of Bethlehem) - A beautiful variety, 

 throwing up a tall spike bearing numerous large, milk-white, star-shaped 

 flowers, with a black centre, and having a distinct aromatic perfume. 

 They are decidedly pretty and interesting when grown m the garden, 

 but are more largely grown for greenhouses and window decoration, 

 being of the easiest culture. Largely forced by florists now for cut 

 flowers. (See ctU.) 5c. each, 50c. per doz., $3,00 per too. By mail,

An Unrivalled : : : : : : : 

 Winter-flowering Pot Plant. 



Of the Easiest Culture : : : 

 Succeeding with Everybody. 



THIS is one of the finest winter-flowenng 

 plants lor pot culture that we have ever 

 seen; it is such a strong, luxuriant grower 

 that one b^lb will be sufficient for a 6 or 8 

 nch pot. Place in a dark, cool position for several 

 iays to root thoroughly, and remove to a sunny 

 situation in the window or conservatory in a teni- 

 perature of about 60 Fahr., and the great profu- 

 sion of bloom produced in uninterrupted abund- 

 ance for weeks will astonish and delight you. 

 Tne flowers are of the purest bright buttercup 

 yellow Well grown-plants have produced as high 

 as seventy flower slemsat one time, and over 1,000 

 flo\^ers in one season. The flowers, and fre- 

 quently the leaves, fold up at night and open 

 again the next morning, but when grown in a 

 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 net 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 the 



bulbs have attained great strength, 



producing biilbs, plants and flowers larger 



and more luxuriant in all parts than the 



type. {See cut.) loc. each, 3 for 25c., 75c. per 



doz-t/ree by mail. 



PUSCHKINIA. 



Scillioides. A bulbous plant of great beauty, perfectly hardy, flower 

 pearly white, richly striped with pale blue down the centre of each petal; 

 its numerous flowers spring up from the centre of its peculiarly shaped 

 leaves. It is admirably adapted for edgings and forming patches in front 

 of mixed borders, flowering in April and May, height 4 to 8 inches. They 

 do very nicely in pots for winter flowers, if started slow and cool. (See cut.) 

 3 for IOC. 35c. per doz., $2.25 per 100. 



6 bulbs of one variety sold at dozen rates, 25 at 1 OO rates. Postage free, except Where noted.
