 entirely dry during the winter. In early spring pot in peat, sand and a little 

 light soil. They delight in heat, moisture and shade while growing, but in a 

 cooler temperature when in bloom. Do not water the foliage. Excellent for 

 baskets. {Ready in December.) Ten distinct named varieties, 10 els each ; $1.00 

 per dozen. 



AGAPANTHUS (African Lily). 



Splendid ornamental plants, Ipearing large clusters of bright blue and pure 

 white flowers on long flower stalks, and lasting a long time in bloom. There is 

 no finer plant than this for outdoor decoration, planted in large pots or tubs on 

 the lawn, terrace, or piazza. It does well in the house or greenhouse in winter, 

 requiring but slight protection. It is a rapid grower and gross feeder, and the 

 chief point in its cultivation is to divide the plants before the pots or tubs become 

 overcrowded with roots. Strong clumps. (See cut.)
