Blea) HARDY CYCLAMEN. 
This handsome species of Cyclamen has a large and solid bulb that can be planted in 
‘ pot of ordinary soil, and will commence to bloom almost immediately. The flowers 
which are borne in great profusion, are of monstrous size, and vary in color from pure 
white to pinkish white, and deepest rose and red. The bulbs retain their vitality for 
years, producing a large number of flowers each succeeding season. In mild localities 
this Cyclamen is perfectly hardy. 
this beautiful species: ‘‘ Nothing can be more agreeable to the lover of hardy plants than 
endeavoring to naturalize these charming flowers, now rarely seen out of the greenhouse. 
The best position would be among dwarf shrubs, etc., that would afford slight shelter, 
on banks or sunny spots in copses, or on the rockery in a sunny, warm situation. There 
is scarcely a country seat in England in which the hardy Cyclamen could not be natural- 
ized.” Ihavea fine stock of this handsome Cyclamen, and am prepared to offer them at 
a very reasonable figure. Colors, white or pimk. State when ordering which color 
you desire. Good strong bulbs, 20 cents each; 2 Sor 50 cents; 7 for $1.00; $1.50 per dozen. 
JAPANESE PINK SPIDER LILY. 
The White Spider Lily, which I have offered for several years past, has so pleased all 
‘who planted them, that the Japanese Pink variety cannot fail to create another sensation. 
Moreover, if planted in a warm, light position, they will prove perfectly hardy, with 
‘some protection, but in the South will surely thrive freely without anv protection 
whatever. Illustration on one of my colored plates in 1892 showed a spike of the most 
‘delicate flowers, varying in colors from pinkish salmon to pink, vermilion and scarlet, 
ithe petals being beautifully undulated, and by artificial light sparkling like jewels. 
'They bloom generally in the open ground during September, andif planted in pots or 
‘vv ises and kept moist during growth, will make a most magnificent plant for the house in 
early Fall Keep thoroughly moist at all times. Large blooming size bulbs, 20 cents 
each; 3 for 50 cents ; 7 for $1.00; $1.50 per dozen. | 
CARIBEAN WHITE SPIDER LILY. 
Grandest of evergreen Lilies, bearing many tall flower-spikes, surmounted 
by 8 to 12 large, white, sweet-scented flowers, blooming for several weeks. They 
are bighly prized by florists for floral designs, on account of their delicacy and 
delicious odor. The evergreen leaves afford a beautiful ornament during the 
winter among other plants. They thrive best in a moist situation, and planted 
out in May will flower in July. Are also desirable for growing in water, placing 
———— = bulb in a vase or bowl, treating same 
as the Hyacinth. Admirably adapt- 
ed for pot culture; will flower in 
~ from 6 to 8 weeks. 25 cts. each; 
6 for $1.00; $2.00 per dozen.

JAPANESE PINK SPI 











Mr William Robinson, in the London Garden, says of 
seas at 
awe mee 
KY. 
This magnificent bulb, which often attains enormous propor- 
tions, produces flowers of the greatest beauty Usually 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 petalsare 
broad, and pure white, with a deep reddish purple stripe through 
the centre. A plant which always creates a sensation when it ¢ 
blooms. which it does with the greatest freedom. I have a fine stock 4 
of Crinum Kirky this year, and ean offer them lower than they were _ 

It isa member of the Amaryl- ee 
lis family, the bulbs being as } 
large and assolid asamedium 
sized onion, and should be 
planted in the spring, either 
in the open ground or in pots 
(they do as well one way as 
the other), where they will 
bloom freely most of the sum- 
mer. sending up beautiful 
lily-like white blossoms on 
stems ten to fifteen inches 
long, and of peculiar lavender 
In the fali the 
bulbs should be lifted and kept 
dry over winter, like Gladiolus. 
It isone of the easiest of all 
grow, absolutely sure 
to bloom freely, and the beauti- 
ful, pure, fairy-like blossoms 
are lovely. Strong bulbs ready 
for immediate bloom. 15 cents 
each, 4 for 50 cents, $1.00 per 
Mrs. Ben Munday, Sault Ste

munificence in making good the

CRINUM CAPENSE. 
Rose, sweet scented, one of the finest Crinums; hardy, with 
slight protection. Producing many flower stalks, 214 to 4 feet high, 
and crowded with 10 to 15 blooms. Excellent sort, 30 cents eack ; 
for $1.00, postpaid. 
CRINUM AMERICANUM. 
In every way this rivals the Crinum Kirky in stateliness and f 
grandure. Like it, it cammot be approached as a pot plant, and * 
where beauty of flowers are concerned, it is by some preferred, being y 
pure white, waxy-like and fragrant, producing fully as many if not ¢ 
more flowers. Strong bulbs, 30 cents each, 4 for $1.00, postpaid. ,
