BULBS FOR AUTUMIM PLANTirVIG-^ 



SPIRAEA or ASTILBE. 



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, and last 

 a long time in bloom. (Ready for shipment in November.) 



Japonica. The old favorite white flowering variety. Delivered, 25c. 

 each; $2.50 per doz.; or if buyer pays transit, 15c. 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 

 in habit, earlier and more profuse in bloom than Spiraea Japonica. 



Price, delivered, 30c. each; S3. 00 doz., or, if buyer pays transit, 20c. 

 each; $2.00 doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



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 it is unequalled. Price of strong 

 roots, delivered, 35c. each; $3.50 doz.; or if buyer pays transit, 25c. 

 each; S2.50 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, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz., 

 or if buyer pays transit, 40c. each; $4.00 doz. 



STERNBERGIA LUTEA. 



One of the most charming and useful of autumnal flowering bulbs. The large 

 pure yellow flowers, which are produced from September to November, are 

 much Kke a Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy; very hardy and 

 increases rapidly. 5c. each; 50c. doz.; $3.00 per 100. 



TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM.

 and flowering profusely in partially shaded nooks about the lawn, under trees, etc. \

SPIRAEA GLADSTONE. 



TRITELEIA UNIFLORA. 



{Spring Star Flower.) A perfect little gem for pot culture. It 

 Sowers in very early spring months. The bulbs are small and several 

 should be grown in a pot; it grows about 6 to S inches high, each bulb 

 producing several pretty star-shaped flowers of a delicate milky-white, 

 suffused with blue, and emits the perfume of Primroses; they are per- 

 fectly hardy and grown in quantities in a sunny border or for edgings 

 they are very effective. 15c. doz.; SI. 00 per 100; $7.00 per 1000. 



VALLOTA PURPUREA. 



" The Scarborough Lily." A most beautiful and free summer and 

 autumn-blooming Amaryllis-like bulbous plant that prodtices strong 

 spikes or brilliant scarlet flowers. They are splendid for pot culture 

 in window gardens and conservatories. If several bulbs are planted 

 in a 10-inch pot or tub, they form highly decorative groups for piazza 

 and lawn. We have frequently seen such a potful bearing 20 to 25 

 spikes, each carrying 5 to 8 flowers at one time. 30c. each; $3.00 

 per doz. 



NEW WHITE WATSONIA. 



(Watsonia .Ardernsei Alba.) 



This new white variety was introduced from South Africa recently 

 has aroused great interest and will, most likely, become a very popular 

 plant, for it has unusual merit. The bulbs, something like those of 

 gladiolus, send up branching stems, 3 to 4 feet high, each stem bearing 

 a dozen or more flowers 2h to 3 inches long by 2 inches across. Its pure 

 snow-white color and great substance render it exceptionally beautiful 

 as a cut flower. It may be grown as a winter cut flower, or the bults 

 may be planted in the spring in the garden, like a gladioli, flowering 

 from July to September. A strong plant will bear as many as 250 to 

 300 flowers in a summer. Strong bulbs, 25c. each; S2.50 i>er doz.; 

 $20.00 per 100. 



ZEPHYRANTHES. 



Among our most beautiful dwarf bulbous plants; very effective for 

 planting out in masses in May, flowering with great profusion during 

 the summer. They are also most suitable for pot culture; 6 to 12 bulbs 

 clustered in a 6-inch pot in the autumn will give a fine display of bloom 

 during the winter in the window garden or conservatory. 1 foot
