 mao-niflcent Amaryllis are beautifnl beyond description, a single flower with a little green forni- 

 Ino-'a splendid bouquet. The bulbs thrive best in a light sandy soil, and maybe planted rather

 the fancy-leaved Caladiums. Thev produce most elegant large leaves, spotted, marked and varie- 

 gated with white, pink, scarlet, etc. Thev are among our finest foliage plants, and are always 



greatly admired. They thrive best in a shady situation, in fairly enriched sandy loam.

TUBER©US=R0©TEO BEGOIWiaS. 



Until a few years ago the wonderful eft'ects the tuberous be- 

 gonias produced as a bedding plant were little known. The dry 

 tubers can be planted at any time when the ground is warm, and 

 will produce a wealth of beauty and profusion of bloom all the 

 summer and fall. The flowers embrace many shades and hues, 

 such as crimson, pink, white, yellow, orange and scarlet, of enor- 

 mous size, having measured as high as 4 inches in diameter. The 

 bulbs dug before frost keep well in a drv, \varm place.

Single Varieties Mixed. 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; Sl.i5 per doz. 



SUMMER=FL0WERING ©XaLIS. 



For bordering or margining, nothing can surpass the summer- 

 flowering Oxalis. The bulbs when planted about 3 inches apart 

 produce an unbroken row of elegant foliage and pretty flowers, 

 and as they bloom in a very short time after planting, furnish a 

 neat and attractive border the whole season. No flower is easier 

 grown than the Oxalis, and are sure to succeed in all soils and situ- 

 ation.s. Bulbs planted first of Jlay will flower by the first of .lune 

 and produce their beautiful flowers uninterruptedly the whole 

 summer. In the autumn the bulbs, which multiply wonderfully, 

 can be lifted and stored in a cellar like Gladioli.
