ASTILBE or SPIRAEA. 
In garden culture these flower freely during the summer and are 
perfectly hardy, but their great value is when grown in pots for window 
and greenhouse decoration, in winter and spring, and for forcing for 
cutting. The flowers are borne in large, feathery panicles of white, 
and last along time in bloom. (Ready jor shipment 1 November.)

buyer pays transit, lic. each; $1.50 doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Astilboides Floribunda. The flowers are borne in large, feathery pan- 
icles of purest white, and last a long time in bloom. It is dwarfer

Gladstone. A new, large-flowering Spiraea—an improvement over all 
other white-flowering Spiraeas—and one of the most beautiful win- 
ter and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses of 
flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong stalks 
18 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume-like 
trusses practically enveloping the plant with a feathery foam. Un- 
doubtedly one of the most beautiful and graceful subjects grown for 
winter and spring decoration in the house and conservatory, while 
for grace and elegance as a cut flower itis unequalled. Price of strong 
roots, delivered, 35c. each; $3.50 doz.; or if buyer pays transit, 25c. 
each; $2.50 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
New Pink Spiraea ‘‘ Queen Alexandra.’’ This beautiful introduction is 
of the same habit as ‘* Gladstone,’’ flowering about 2 weeks later, 
producing feathery plumes of lovely rose pink color. Fine for either 
pot or garden culture. Price delivered, 75c. each; $7.50 per doz.

CALLA AETHIOPICA, or LILY OF THE NILE. This old favorite white Calla Lily is too 
well known to require any description. We offer dry roots, as they are superior for 
forcing and winter-fowering purposes; they come into bloom quickly and re- 
quire less room, making less 
foliage. Extra size bulbs,

moth bulbs, 25c. each, $2.50 
doz. 
Little Gem Calla Lily. This 
little pigmy rarely exceeds 
12 inches in height and 
blooms most abundantly. 
The flowers are not more 
than half the size of the 
common variety, and there- 
fore can be used with telling 
effect in bouquets. It is in 
every way superior as a 
house plant to the larger 
growing variety. Dry 
bulbs, 10c. each, $1.00 per 
doz., $5.00 per 100. 
Yellow Caila, Elliottiana.

liottiana are spotted with 
white. 75c. each, $7.50 per 
doz.

ardia Alba Maculata.)

old favorite white Calla, ex- 
cepting being of smaller 
habit. Large bulbs, l5c.
