SUMMER + FLOWERING - BULBS. 
Chlidanthus Fragrans. 
Perhaps one of the finest 
new bulbs lately introduced. 
Begins to grow immediately 
after planting, and produces 
in great profusion dense clus- 
ters of long, tubular flowers of 
a rich golden yellow. They 
possess the most exquisite 
i fragrance, and the blooms last 
for a long time, if placed in 
water. As a pot plant they 
are very useful, and in the gar- 
den will prove also valuable, 
increasing in numbers rapid- 
ly. Being the third year 
these bulbs are offered, the 
supply is still limited, so | 
would suggest early orders. € 
20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 
7 for $1.00, postpaid. 
Hemanthus. Kalbreyeri. 
\\ As may be seen from the illustration herewith, this is one 
\) of the rarest and handsomesit flowering bulbs in existence, 
AZ and probably never before offered in this country. Last year

in Europe, these bulbs sold at $5.00 each. Each bulb produces 
one or more spikes crowned with nearly 100 spider-like flowers 
NX Of richest scarlet in umbels nearly two feet in circumference. 
\\\ \\ As may be imagined, these glowing crowns produce a bril- 
N liant and attractive effect The leaves are beautiful in form 
Ni and texture. The leaf stems and flower stems as well, are 
Airy light green beautifully mottled with maroon. -Even when not 
. in bloom the plant is very ornamental. It is of the easiest 
management, growing as freely as a Calla. Having a few 
hundred home-grown bulbs, all of blooming size, I can offer 
them at very reasonable prices. 75 cts. each; 2 for $1.25, postpaid. 
THLADIANTHA DUBIA. 
The very curious bulbs of this rare plant are entirely hardy and 
therefore need not be taken up in the fall. Early in the season it pro- 
duces in greatest abundance its attractive and ornamental foliage,

atis. The flowers are fragrant and quite frequently 
followed by an attractive but inedible fruit, at first 
green, but later turning a bright red. While this 
would make a good pot plant, the garden certainly is 
the place for it. For covering archways, trellis work 
orches or unsightly objects it is most valuable. 
cents each; 2 for 50 cents; 5 for $1.00, postpaid. 
ANTHOLYZA. A&thiopica. 
A rare flower from the Cape of Good Hope seldom 
geen in this country. Begins to grow immediately 
after the bulb is planted. The foliage is bright green, 
upright and sword-like. Each bulb produces several 
spikes 15 to 20 inches high, of large, brilliantly-colored 
flowers, in which yellow and red predominate, re- 
sembling the mouth of an enraged animal. They last 
for a long time, one spike being succeeded by another. 
These are exceedingly useful for growing in the house 
in winter, as a dozen bulbs planted at intervals will be 
in bloom for many weeks. Equally as desirable for 
out-door culture, thriving best in light, rich, sandy soil. 
They increase rapidly, so that once ordered you will 
have a supply forever. At the extremely low price at 
which I am able to offer this beautiful Antholyza, not 
one of my customers should fail to at least give them 
@ trial as they are handsomeandsureto please. 5cents 
each; 6 for 25 cents; 40 cents per dozen, postpaid. 
Hemanthus Kalbreyeri. 
An Introductory 
to my Bulb Department is un- 
necessary, it being generally 
conceded that this department 
and my facilities for filling 
bulb orders are the most com- 
plete of any house in the 
United States.

Thiadiantha Dubia. 
APIOS TUBEROSA. Tuberous Rooted Wistaria. 
A native climber and one of the most beautiful in cultiva- 
tion. A profuse bloomer, bearing lovely clusters of rich, deep 
purple flowers with a delicious violet fragrance. It is a 
wonderfully robust grower, attaining a great height, its vine 
and dense foliage resembling the common Wistaria. The 
= bulbs are perfectly hardy, needing no protection whatever; 
# they are excellent for food when cooked, by many considere 
fully equal to an Irish potato. 10 cents each; 3 for 25 cents; 
Apios Tuberosa. 7 for 50 cents; 75 cents per dozen, postpaid.
