These are very fine for Winter-flowering in the house, six bulbs can be 
planted in one six-inch pot. They beginto bloom very quickly; the flowers 
are large pure snow-white, and borie in long slender spikes, very beauti- 
ful and largely used for cut flowers. The Bride Gladiolus is also quite 
hardy, and when planted inthe flower-bed will bloom splendidly in the 
Spring. It is equally desirable both for Winter bloom in the house and 
planting in the flower-bed. Fine blooming bulbs, 3 for 10 cts., 25 cts. per 
doz., $1.35 per 100, postpaid. 
CYCLAMEN GIGANTEUM, True 
(Giant Flowering Persian Cyclamen) 
X Cyclamens are among the most charming bulbs we have for parlor 
SS and greenhouse culture. hey are very easily grown, bloom freely, and 
continue along time in bloom. The flowers are exceedingly beautiful, 
and range through many shades of pink, crimson and white. The leaves 
are finely variegated, so that the whole plant is highly ornamental, and 
particularly suitable for house and conservatory decoration. They like 
plenty of light and air, but not too much heat. Alllovers of beautiful house 
plants should by all means have some pots of Cyclamen. When done 
blooming the bulbs should be dried off and allowed to rest like Callas. 
Price, extra se ected blooming size bulbs, finest colors mixed, 15 cts. each, 
3 for 40 cts., $1.50 per doz., postpaid. (See painting on back of this book.) 
. CYCLAMEN PERSICUM-—Similar to the above but flowers not so 
Jarge. 12 cts. each, 3 for 35 cts , $1 25 per doz., postpaid.
