This Gorgeous Exotic is as easily grown and cared for as 

 m«ny of the common flowers. They are the most magnificent 

 table decorations we have in summer. Keep the bulbs in pots 

 in the house, or on the veranda, in boxes or little frames out- 

 side, and you can cut the flowers all summei\ Their green 

 leaves are surmounted with a cluster of lovely trumpef-shaped 

 flowers. The coloring is exquisite ; the groundwork of many 



is pure white, with throats of blue, scarlet, rose, or crimson ; or 

 the I ubes are of bright color with white throat. The bulbs should 

 be started in a warm place — greenhouse, hotbed, or sunny win- 

 dow. They will bloom till late in summer, when they should be 

 dried off, letting the loa\esdie; the pots can be kept over winter 

 in a cellar free from frost. Price, splendid mixtures, strong 

 bulbs, 15 cts. each; dozen, $1.50. By mail, postpaid.
