THE LOVETT COMFAN 

 CROCUS. 



One of the earliest and most popular of Spring flow- 

 ers, neat, dwarf and compact, flowers attractive and 

 bright in color. The Crocus is admirable for planting 

 in clumps in the grass of the lawn or in borders; also 

 fine for edging. They should be planted as early as 

 possible and placed two or three inches apart and three 

 inches deep. They are so cheap that they should be 

 used plentifully about the place, in odd corners, wood- 

 land walks and shady nooks, where they will be charm- 

 ingly effective. They may be bloomed in pots with the 

 greatest ease, in the manner directed for Hyacinths.

CYCLAMEN PERSICUM 

 GiGANTtUM. 



These grand new Cyclamens are justly considered 

 the daintiest of all decorative plants. Perfect in habit 

 and elegant in foliage; they produce their splendid 

 sweet-scented blooms in rich profusion for a period of 

 several months at a time. The broad and handsome 

 leaves are deep green, beautifully marbled with silvery 

 grey and rose and shaded with rich purple on the back. 

 The large and striking flowers are borne aloft on long 

 stems and range through many shades of white, pink, 

 and deep crimson. They are especially adapted for 

 house culture. Pot in leaf mold and loam, giving pots 

 ample di ainage; water liberally, and keep foliage clean. 



Strong pot grown bulbs, that will bloom freely all 

 winter, grown from seed especially imported by us 

 direct from the greatest German specialist of this 

 beautiful flower, ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.; doz., $1.T5.

Ontario, Canada, July 24, 1896. 

 The Gesnerlana Tulips and the three varieties of Narcissus 

 received from you last fall did particularly well. N. "Ard 

 Righ" and N. "Horsefeldl" were especially fine, and it gives 

 me much pleasure to tell you how they turned out.

Cumberland Co., Maine, July, 21 1896. 

 The bulbs purchased by me of your firm last fall, gave a 

 great deal of satisfaction and pleasure throughout the winter. 

 1 planted them all In pots with the exception of the Tulips, 

 which bloomed very early out of doors this spring. The hya- 

 cinths and ixias were especially pretty. L. M. small.
