 enormous, measuring /owr inches across and are freely 

 produced on short, stout stems. The color, which is a 

 soft shell-pink, is very pretty and its fragrance, which 

 is the true spicy odor of the well known forcing type, 

 is remarkably sweet and lasting. Plant sturdy and 

 very hardy. Truly a wonderful flower. Ea., 20c; 3 

 for 50c; doz., $1.75. Large field-grown clumps, ea., 30c; 

 3 for T5c; doz., $2.50 {by express only). 



CRINUM KIRKII. 



Words fail to express the value of this new strain of 

 Carnations. For profusion of bloom, endurance and 

 large size of flower, they surpass everything of the 

 kind, and enable one to bloom this delightful flower out- 

 doors, during the summer, in great abundance. To 

 their delicious, spicy fragrance are added perfect, dou- 

 ble form, large full flowers, and beautiful colors in 

 great variety, through all the shades of red and pink to 

 pure white and even almost blue. Of easy culture 

 and succeed every where. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., $1.00. 



CUPHAEA LLAVEA. 



Exceedingly ornamental, blooming magnificently in 

 the open ground during summer. Foliage large and 

 like that of corn, deep green with wavy edges. The 

 flowers are large and lily-like, resembling in size and 

 shape Lilium candidum^ pure white, with a broad crim- 

 son-purple stripe down the centre of each petal; they 

 are borne in huge umbels of a dozen or more, on dark 

 purple stems. The bulbs should be lifted at the approach 

 of frost and stored in a dry place. Large bulbs (3 inches 

 in diameter), ea,, 50c. {Postage 10c. each extra). 



A delightful plant that is too seldom seen. Its pro- 

 fuse and continuous bloom renders it admirable for 

 either bedding, window, vase or pot culture. It grows 

 from twelve to fifteen inches high and is literally cov- 

 ered, continually, with brilliant tubular flowers, two 

 inches long, of scarlet, white and deep blue in striking 

 combination. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c.
