 ) LLl J. ^'^ "5PICE LILY, 



A VARIETY OF AMARYLLIS JOHNSONII. 



CONGENL^L conditions — climate and soil — produce a strong- 

 growing variety of Amar\-llis, popularly tnown in the West 

 India Isles as ''The Spice Lily." Probably the most 

 magnificent and gorgeous flowering bulbous plants known 

 Their immense flowers, richness of coloring and regal habit 

 are simply incomparaLle. The bulbs are very large, 8 to 12 inches 

 in circumference, and produce with great certainty extra-strong 

 spikes of bloom, from 18 inches to 3 feet high, bearing enoimous 

 trumpet-shaped floweis of great substance, averaging 6 to 10 

 inches across, of rich and glowing scarlet, intensified by a con- 

 trasting wide white stripe through each petal. For pot culture 

 in the window, conservatory or greenhouse they are well adapted, 

 and when in bloom in the winter and spring months no flower can 

 approach their beauty — spikes frequently produce 4 to 8 flowers 

 each, and often 2 and 3 spikes are produced at one time. {See ctt-t.) 

 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. Postage^ ^c. per bulb extra. 



Amaryllis Belladonna Major (Belladonna 



Lily.) An autumn blooming variety cf e.xtreme beauty and 

 fragrance. The spikes grow from 2 to 3 feet high, each carry- 

 ing from six to a dozen beautiful flowers "Sweet as Lilies," of 

 silvery white, flushed and tipped with rose. Extra large bulbs, 

 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. Postage .,^0. per bulb extra.

Single Poppy Flowered. (Coronaria.) These handsome single Anemones have 

 large, beautiful, saucer-shaped, poppy-like blossoms, and during mild seasons, or in the 

 sheltered situations, are flowering continuously tV.roughout the winter, spring and early 

 summer; also valuable for flowering in pots during the winter. Mixed colors. 2 for 5c.,

FulgenS. The rich, dazzling scarlet flowers and light, elegant growth render it the most 

 attractive flower of spring. It is invaluable for cutting, as it lasts a long time in water; 

 also valuable for pot culture and forcing for winter flowers in the house. 3 for loc, 35c. per 

 doz., ^2.50 per 100, or by viall.^ $2."^. 

 \nemone Blanda. Deep blue and blue to white. A new variety, discovered in 

 Asia Minor, and it has proved to be a perfect gem. A truly charming spring flower, 

 as early as the Snowdrop and Snowflake, and it brightens our borders with flowers 

 long after the:e are passed. It is the earliest and largest flowered of the spring-blooming 

 Anemones, and among the most beautiful and desirable of all the omamer.ts of the 

 hardy spring garden. .\ lot are now (March 7) in full bloom, and when fully opened 

 on a bright, sunny forenoon are exceedingly beautiful. No two are exactly alike, but 

 comprise almost all possible shades, fiom pure white to deep cerulean b'ue, and some 

 of the flowers have a large and clearly defined pure white centre. The flowers are 

 x54 inches across. It is a lovely variety and as hardy as a rock. It spreads itself in 

 large clumps, grows freely, and needs no special care and attention. It should be planted 

 deeply in light, sandy soil. If potted at intervals from August to September, and housed 

 afterwards in the greenhouse, they may be had in flower from November to February.

Highly ornamental spring and summer flowering plants, ha\-ing 

 both single and double flowers, the colors of which are wonderfully 

 beautiful, running through all shades of blue, scarlet, rose, white, 

 lavender, etc. When grown in masses they are brilliant in the extreme. If the 

 flowers are wanted in succession from spring to fall, the roots should be planted in 

 pots or cold frames in the fall for spring blooming, and another lot in the same way 

 towards spring for summer, and another lot in the open ground in May for autumn flow- 

 ering. The latter planting should be 

 in a partially shaded situation where 

 the ground is moist. Anemones are 

 also splendid for pot culture, for 

 flowering in the house or conservat- 

 ory during winter. 



Anemone, Double Poppy 



Flowered. (Coror.aria.jl.pl.) 

 The flowers of this class are very 

 double, and are surrounded at the 

 base with large guard 

 peials resembling a 

 double Hollyhock; for 

 cutting purpcses they 

 are grand, and we 

 know of no class of 

 plants with more gor- 

 geous colors, two or 

 three co'ors usually
