From a superb collection of upright and drooping-flowered 
varietles, 
These are among the handsomest of our summer- 
blooming house plants, the rich and varied colors of 
the flowers being beautiful in the extreme; flowers 2 
inches long by 1% inches diameter, upright and pen- 
dulous; colors crimson, violet, rose, scarlet, white, 
etc. The bulbs should be started in April, and after 
blooming all summer require a season of rest. This can 
be done by gradually withholding water from them. 
After they are dried off they may be kept in a warm, dry 
cellar, or under the stage of a greenhouse. 35 cts. each; 
$3.00 per dozen; $8.00 per hundred.

They are perfectly hardy. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per dozen.

ing plants, with large ornamental flowers of rich 
and elegantly blended colors, exquisitely striped 
with dark violet, purple or bronzed lines upon a -
