Narcissus Poeticus. 



This, the Poet's Narcissus, also called the Pheasant's Eye, 

 needs no praise ; a clump should be in every garden among 

 the shrubbery or in the grass; half dozen or dozen bulbs will 

 make a fine clump that will increase in size and beauty from 

 year to year; needs no protection during Winter ; blooms 



very early ;' pure white 

 flowers, with miniature 

 saucers, edged with bright 

 crimson; exceedingly 

 beautiful and graceful ; 

 also can be readily grown 

 in the house in pots or 

 vases, presenting a charm- 

 ing sight. We offer fine 

 bulbs of the best varieties.

Byblooms and Bizards. 



We desire to call special attention to the Byblooms, Bizards 

 and Breeders' types of Tulips, of which we offer a fine col- 

 lection. These merit more general recognition from the vast 

 army of flower lovers. Their bloom somewhat resembles 

 that of the Gesneriana (see cut), and they wear all the gor- 

 geous livery of their species. They attain a height of from 

 one to two feet, the stems often branching and producing 

 several large blooms. Their flowering period is later than 

 the other sorts, which is a point in their favor.

Parrot Tulips, 



TULIPA GESNERIANA. 



Ornothogalum Arabicum. 



A Splendid Winter-Flowering Bulb. Sure to bloom. 



This magnificent new Winter-blooming bulb from Arabia 

 gives great satisfaction. The bulbs are large and solid, some- 

 what resembling Hyacinths ; the leaves are long, narrow and 

 graceful; flower stalks are thrown up to a height of 18 or 20 

 inches, and produce immense clusters of pearly-white flowers, 

 each having a jet-black centre. This distinct character, 

 together with the durability of the flowers, makes this grand 

 novelty the best Winter bloomer now offered. Bulbs can be 

 planted in 4-inch pots, and given the same culture as Hya- 

 cinths. If planted in open ground, they should be given 

 slight protection. Price of large bulbs, sure to bloom, 10 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 12 for 90 cts. 



Parrot Tulips are the most distinctly shaped and marked 

 of any ; the flowers are larger than those of other varieties, 

 and the striking and beautiful colors range through all shades 

 of golden yellow, green, crimson-striped, deep crimson, clear 

 yellow, etc. Some bulbs should be included in each order.
