| PaGe of the Choicest and RRarest Bulbs in Cultivation 
CRINUMS. 
CRINUM KIRKY.—This magnificent 
bulb, which often attains the size of 6 to8 inches, 
produces flowers of the greatest beauty. Usu- 
ally two flower stalks of dark purplish color are 
sent up at the same time, each bearing a large 
umbel composed of a dozen or more enormous 
lily-like flowers of the greatest beauty and 
fragrance. The petals are broad, and pure 
white, with adeep reddish purple stripe through 
the centre. A plant which always creates a 
sensation when it blooms, which it does with 
the greatest freedom. Extra large bulbs are 
usually sold at $3 to $5. My price is $1; 3 for $2. 
CRINUM AMERICANUM.—In every 
way this rivals the above in stateliness and 
grandeur. Like it, nothing can approach it as 
a pot plant, and where beauty of flowers are 
concerned, it is by some preferred, being pure 
white, waxy-like and fragrant, and producing 
fully as many if not more flowers. I mail 
strong flowering bulbs at 50 cents each; 
3 for $1.00. 
CRINUM CAPENS E.—Rose, sweet 
scented, one of the finest Crinums; hardy, with 
slight protection. Producing many flower 
stalks, 244 to 4 feet high, and crowded with 10 
to 15 blooms. Excellent sort, 40 cents. 
PANCRATIUM MARITIMUM.-Hardy, 
with protection, bearing large white ‘ily-like 
flowers on long stalks. Quite distinct from any 
of the above. Very desirable. 25 cents each. 
LILIUM LEOPOLDI.—Most splendid 
form of lily, in the style of Tigrinum, but far 
superior. Color, orange, elegantly spotted with 
dari purple. 15 cents each; 4 for 50 cents. 
HABRANTHUS ANDERSONII.—A ~ 
charming bulb, producing in early Spring a 
number of erect flowers of a coppery color 
shading to red, exceedingly pretty. 15c.; 4 for 50c. 
ANIZANTHUS BICOLOR.—Scarce 
bulbous plants from Cape of Good Hope, with 
flower spikes overtopping the foliage, bearing ~ 
numerous bright-colored flowers. In this va- ss 
riety being scarletand black a quite uncommon combina- 
tion, sure to surprise you. 20 cts. each; 8 for 60 cts, 
PEACOCK FLOWER. 
Morzea Pavenia.—Perhaps one of the most distinct 
flowers in cultivation. The petals are pure white, with a dis- 
tinct black eye surrounded with blue, which is again shaded 
with purple. Itis a very free bloomer, perfectly hardy and 
one of the attractions of Mnglish gardens. 15c. each ; 4 for 50c. 
GAY QUEEN. 
Named Phaedranassa, alluding to the beauty of the 
flower. A bulbous plant, almost new here, bearing immense 
clusters of showy flowers, 2 to 4 inches long, of various 
colors quite distinct from any other bulb. Beautiful foliage; 
elegant as a pot plant or for the open ground and much ad- 
mired. 
P. Chloracea.—Flowers purplish rose, tipped with 
green, fine. 20 cts, each; 3 for 50 cents. 
P. Gloriosa.—Scarlet, yellow and green. 20 cents each. 
P. Vividiflora.—Green and yellow flowers. Exquisite. 20c 
The three varieties to one address for 50 cts.

MOUNTAIN ROSE. 
Antigonon Leptopus.—Rosa de Montana 
is the favorite name of the Mexicans for this 
cheerful climber, which is almost hardy here 
and certainly so with protection. The flowers 
are deep rose colored, in long clusters and 
in such profusion that there is scarcely a leaf to 
be seen. Endorsed by the best authorities. 3 
ROOTS, 20 cents each ; 3 for 50 cents.

of star-like flowers that are very pleasing; in

flowering bulbs, the blooms of which are

acquisition. 20 cents each ; 3 for 50 cents. 
THE WHITE IRIS, Iris Florentina.

tina Iris, so much praised in Italy. Of easiest 
growth. 15 cents each ; 4 for 50 cents,

Charming subject for growing in pots or in the 
garden. 15 cents each; 4 for 50 cents. 
CLIDANTHUS FRAGRANS.— Very 
ornamental half hardy bulbs from Brazil, the 
leaves of which appear after the flowers, which 
are yellow in color and exceedingly fragrant. 
One of the rarest plants in this country and 
which I offer as a novelty. 25 cents each. | 
FURCRAEA GiGEANTEA.—Bulbous ¢ 
plants, growing to an enormous size, and pro- c 
ducing rosettes of forty to fifty immense | 
leaves and flowers, scapes 15 to 20 feet high; a 
furnished with hundreds of large flowers, which [) 
are milky white inside and greenish on the back, s 
Most noble specimen plant. Can be cut backin 
Winter and kept in cellar. Certain to please, red 
40 cents each ;3 for $1.00. = 
RED-FLOWERED ZINZIBER.—I accidentally 
came across what is believed to be something entirely new j_, 
in this line, to wit: a Red-Flowering Ginger plant. It 5 
bears a large panicle of scarlet flowers, like the well-known i 
French Cannas, but lasting actually three weeks in full per- g) 
fection. The roots ofthis plantare valuable for preserving, 7 
being the same as the Ginger of commerce; a fine foliage ey 
plant as well. Fine roots, 25 cents; 3 for 60 cents, 
VARIEGATED GLADWIN. 
An ornamental plant of the very greatest value, and 4 
highly appreciated in England, where it is used for choicest ¢ 
decorations. Its leaves, as will be seenin cut, resemble those 
of the Pandanus, being variegated with white and green 
stripes. The flowers are of a pleasing blue, and freely pro- 
duced ; and that is not all, for they are succeeded by large 
capsules which burst open when ripe and expose a number 
of bright red seeds as large as peas, which can be used for 
many purposes. The plant is perfectly hardy and easily 
grown by any one. I anticipate a heavy demand for them at 
the low price of 25 cts.; 3 for 60 cts.; extra strong roots, 50 cts.
