ISMENE CALATHINA 



(Peruvian DafFodill) 



A grand summer flowering bulb, producing with great freedom large Amaryllis- 

 like, pure white, fragrant blossoms. Keep the bulbs in a dry, warm place, and plant 

 out in June. Bulbs can be taken up in October, and, after a few weeks' rest, potted 

 and flowered in the house in the winter, or kept over for planting out another season. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



JASMINUM PRIMULINUM 



The old-time favorite Jasminum Nudiflorum is especially admired on account of its 

 early flowering, its flowers, in a sheltered position or against a warm wall, appearing 

 as early as the middle of March. In this variety, an introduction from China, we have 

 almost a counterpart, excepting that its flowers are fully double the size. These 

 appear simultaneously with the leaves. The plant is not hardy north of Washington, 

 but makes an excellent subject to train on a trellis as a pot plant; grown in this way 

 its bright yellow flowers are much admired as a window plant. 25 cts. each. 



MARANTA

 Albert!. Deep green foliage, with light green mosaic-like markings. 75 cts. each. 

 Rosea Lineata. Rich deep green leaves beautifully variegated with many 



narrow lines of a soft salmon-rose. 75 cts. each. 



Gloxini.\ 



GENISTA 



Fragrans. A most desirable spring- 

 flowering plant, producing its fragrant, 

 bright, golden-yellow flowers in the 

 greatest profusion. As a window- 

 plant of easiest culture it is unsur- 

 passed. Especially desirable for 

 Easter decoration. Fine plants in 

 4-inch pots. Flowering size. 50 cts. 

 each.

 shaped heather-like flowers of a delicate mauve 

 tinted white. 50 cts. each.

 foliage plant, useful either as a pot plant for the
