AUTUMN EDITION, DINGER GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



L«ily Auratum. 



Fritillarias 



The habit of growth is lily-like, and, as 

 a pot-plant, the effect is beautiful in the ex- 

 treme; in fact, it is as beautiful as any- 

 lily, while the profusion of flowers is re- 

 markable. Requires about the same treat- 

 ment as Bermuda Easter Lily, and should 

 not be given too much water. 



Becurva. Produces numerous large, pen- 

 dent, bell-shaped flowers, on stems 6 to 10 

 inches high. Frequently as many as a 

 dozen brilliant scarlet flowers, spotted with 

 orange in the throat, are produced at one 

 time. 10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts., 7 for 50 

 cts., 75 cts. per doz., $5.00 per 100, post- 

 paid. 



Mixed Varieties. This splendid mixture 

 includes a marvelous number of colors — yel- 

 low, white, pink, purple, striped, splashed 

 and checkered in the most curious ways. 

 Splendid for pot-culture as well as for the 

 garden border. Entirely hardy, 6 for 20 

 cts., 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100, post- 

 paid. 



Scilla Sibirica 



(Praecox Squill) 



Equally desirable for planting in the open 

 ground for earliest spring flowers, or in 

 pots for winter blooming. The rich blue 

 flowers are borne in greatest profusion; 

 grown in pots, they will be in bloom from 

 Christmas until April; in the open ground 

 the flowers come almost before the snow 

 is gone. 3 for 5 cts., 15 cts. per doz., 75 

 cts. per 100, postpaid. 



Hardy Lilies 



These glorious flowers of ra- 

 diant beauty are very hardy, 

 grow rapidly and vigorously, 

 and survive from year to year, 

 forming a permanent and at- 

 tractive feature of the garden. 

 The bulbs should be planted 

 about 6 to 8 inches deep, in 

 good, light soil. We offer the 

 most carefully selected sorts in 

 large, sound bulbs. 



Bulbs will be sent as soon as
