APIOS TUBEROSA. 



This beautiful, continuous-floAvering, bulbous plant is 

 alHed to the Gladolius and somew.iat resembles it in 

 manner of growth, but is totally distinct in form and 

 color. The dainty and brilliant blooms are produced 

 in the utmost profusion from July until October. Val- 

 uable for cutting or planting in front of low shrubs, as 

 their flame-Hke beauty is well adapted to lighting up a 

 dark background. Give rich soil and a simny position. 

 Entirely hardy south of Washington. At the North 

 the bulbs can be taken up after frost and stored. 



Crocrosoisflora. Brilhant orange-scarlet, constantly 

 producing immense masses of bloom. One of the very 

 best. Ea., 5c; 3 for 10c; doz., 30c. ■

 habit; extremely floriferous; rich yellow-shaded scar- 

 let at base of i^etals. Ea., 10c; 3 for 2.5c; doz., 75c. 



Elegans. Brilliant yellow, outside vermilion, with a 

 yellow base. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c. 



A strong, rapid-growing, hardy climber with tuber- 

 ous roots, often known as the Tuberous-rooted V\ ista- 

 ria on account of its resemblance to the common Wis- 

 taria in both habit of growth and foliage. It is of 

 rapid grov/th and is covered with dehciously fragrant, 

 brownish-purple flowers in small, dense racemes. It de- 

 lights in a sunny location, and two or three bulbs plan- 

 ted near each other will quickly cover trellis or other 

 support with a mass of delightful foliage and bloom. 

 It is entirely hardy and may be left in the ground with 

 perfect safety during the winter. In delightful per- 

 fume it rivals the Violet. By all means plant a few of 

 these pleasing bulbs this spring. Ea., 5c; 3 for 10c; 

 doz., 30c.
