The Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis. 



An Unrivalled Winter Flowering Pet Plant of the Easiest Culture, Succeeding with Everybody. 



This is one of the finest winter flowering plants for pot culture that we have ever seen ; it is 

 such a strong luxuriant grower that one bulb will be sufficient for a 6 or 8 inch pot. Place in a 

 dark, cool position for a few weeks to root thoroughly and remove to a sunny situation in the 

 window or conservatory in a temperature of about 60 fahr., and the great profusion of bloom 

 produced in uninterrupted abundance for weeks will astonish and delight you. The flowers are 

 of the purest bright buttercup yellow. Well grown plants have produced as high as seventy 

 flower stems at one time and over 1,000 flowers in one season. The flowers and frequently the 

 leaves fold up at night and open again the next morning, but when grown in a partially shaded 

 situation the flowers remain open all the time. Properly treated the plants will flower in six 

 weeks from the time the bulbs are planted. 



We do not claim the Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis to be strictly a new plant, but a greatly im- 

 proved selection from Oxalis Cernua, grown in the congenial soil and climate of Bermuda umil 

 the bulbs have attained great strength, producing bulb^, plants and flowers, larger and more lux- 

 uriant in all parts than the type. (Ready for shipment in August). 10c. each ; 3 for 25c. ; 

 $1.00 per dozen.
