ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM. 



(Arabian Star of Bethlehem.) 



A very showy and distinct species, bearing racemes of white 

 flowers with a black centre, having a sweet aromatic odor; grows 

 1 to 2 feet in height, and succeeds either outdoors or in pots. 

 Excellent for forcing, and largely used by florists for this pur- 

 pose. Of the easiest cultivation. (See cut.) 5 cts. each; 40 

 cts. per doz. ; $2.50 per 100. If wanted by mail, add 10 cts. 

 per doz. for postage. No extra charge for single bulbs. 



OXALIS. 



These are profuse bloomers, and very attractive in the house 



or conservatory during the winter. Plant 3 or 4 bulbs in a pot; 



the pot should be kept close to the light to prevent the foliage 



from growing too long. 



Grand DucheSS. New varieties of great beauty; of dwarf, 

 sturdy growth, throwing their large, exquisite flowers well 

 above the foliage. Extremely free-flowering, never being out 

 of bloom from November till June. One of the most desirable 

 for window culture. We offer them in three distinct colors, 

 Pink, White and Lav= 

 ender. 



Bermuda Buttercup. One 

 of the finest of winter-flow- 

 ering plants for pot culture; 

 of strong, luxuriant growth. 

 The great profusion of 

 bloom produced in uninter- 

 rupted abundance for weeks 

 is astonishing. The flowers 

 are of the purest bright but- 

 tercup-yellow. (See cut. J 



Bowiei. Brilliant carmine- 

 rose. 



Double Yellow {Lutrafl. 

 pi.). 



Versicolor. Red, violet and 

 white. 

 Price, of any of the above, 



4 for 10 cts.; 25 cts. per doz.;

Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis 



Ornithogalum Arabicum. 



PUSCHKINIA. 



Libanotica {Striped Squill) A beautiful 

 hardy spring-flowering bulb; looks like a 

 gigantic Scilla Sibirica; the flowers, however, 

 are blue- white, with a darker stripe through 

 the centre of each petal. Begins blooming 

 in March, and continues in good condition 

 for weeks. 4 for 10 cts. ; 25 cts. per doz. ; 

 $1.50 per 100 ; $12.00 per 1000. 



RANUNCULUS. 



These beautiful dwarf-flowering bulbs de- 

 light in a cool, moist atmosphere, and will 

 repay extra care in cultivation. The curious, 

 tooth-like bulbs may be kept out of the ground 

 without injury for a long time, and if planted 



in spring in a cool, shady situation will generally give satisfactory results. 



They are also desirable for pot culture and for growing in frames in the spring. 



Persian Mixed. Rose-shaped flowers; very double. 



Turban Mixed. Double paeony-formed flowers; many vivid colors. 



French Mixed. Rare flowers of gorgeous colors. 



Price, any of the above, 15 cts. per doz. ; 75 cts. per 100; $6.00 per 1000. 



TREE P^EONIES (Preony Moutan). 



These differ from the herbaceous varieties in their growth, which is in the 

 form of a dwarf shrub; they are equally free-flowering, and commence bloom- 

 ing about three weeks earlier, and while also perfectly hardy they are benefited 

 by slight protection through the winter. The varieties enumerated below have 

 been selected from a large collection, and will be found very interesting.
