ALLIUM 



NEAPOLITANDM 



Very valuable for 

 Winter blooming. The 

 large clusters of white 

 How ers never fail to re- 

 mind one of Spring and 

 keep in condition for 

 several weeks, giving a 

 cheerful brightness to 

 any collection of plants. 

 Place four to six bulbs 

 in a five-inch pot, in 

 well drained sandy loam 

 soil, and start into 

 gro\\th at once. Keep 

 in the full sunlight, and 

 as the plants start give 

 plenty of water. 4 for 

 10 cents; 25 cents fer 

 dozen; ^1.25 -per 100, 

 fost;paid. 



ANEMONE 



One of the most beau- 

 tiful and showy flowers, 

 exceedingly brilliant in 

 color, of neat and com- 

 pact groA\th, and with 

 foliage elegantly cut. It 

 is not quite so hardy as 



many other bulbs, but if planted in Octo- 

 ber or November, four or five inches 

 apart and covered three inches deep in a 

 moist, rich, well drained soil, then, well 

 protected by leaves and manure, success 

 can confidently be expected. A northerly 

 site, protected from the wind and too 

 much sun is the best. Make the soil rich, 

 and water frequently in the Spring. If 

 the weather is hot when Anemones are in 

 bloom, shade partially in daytime with 

 cheese cloth or mosquito netting at about 

 three feet above them, or cover the 

 ground with moss to prevent the soil from 

 becoming too dry. The bulbs may be 

 kept till Spring, when, if planted early 

 they will do well. For forcing in- 

 doors, pot three or four roots in porous, 

 rich soil, in a five-inch pot. Keep the 

 pots in a cold frame or other moist, 

 cool situation until the roots are well 

 started, when they may be removed to 

 the place where they are desired to 

 bloom. Avoid heat and dry air, and 

 the rich and various colored flowers ^ 

 will repay your care. Prices include *W 

 postage. ^
