Bulbs • for • Indoor • Culture. 



The Bulbs offered on pages 14 to 20 inclusive are specially desirable for indoor culture, and are not suitable for planting 

 in open ground until all danger of frost is past. 



SCILLA CLUSII. 



Sciiia Clusii, 



Peruvian hyacinth or Cuban 



Lily. 



To our mind this is one of the most beautiful bulbous 

 plants we have ever seen. Heretofore it has been but little 

 known, but after a trial its ease of culture and superb beauty- 

 induces us to bring it before our customers in a prominent 

 manner. No bulb will give more complete satisfaction. 

 European growers recommend it as the grandest of all Win- 

 ter-blooming bulbs for house culture. The flowers are star 

 shaped and are borne in one enormous cluster. The color 

 is distinct and striking, rich dark blue. It commences to 

 bloom about Midwinter in pots and remains in flower a long 

 time. If planted in open ground protection should be given 

 the bulb. Grow it as you would a Hyacinth. We have pro- 

 cured a large stock of first size bulbs, sure to bloom, and are 

 thus enabled to offer them at one-half the usual price. 15 

 cts. each ; 3 for 35 cts. 



Cyclamen 



Every collection of window plants should include at least 

 one Cyclamen ; no plant is better adapted for pot culture. 

 The foliage is highly ornamental, and the flowers very beau- 

 tiful in form and color, remaining perfect a long time, and are 

 produced in large numbers through a long season. Each. 



Europseum. — Pink color Jo 40 



" Album. — White 50 



Tritonia. 



This beautiful class of Winter-blooming bulbs requires the 

 same treatment as Ixias, blooming with them ; in appearance 

 they are like miniature Gladiolus. The colors are very soft 

 and pleasing, ranging from white through salmon, orange and 

 scarlet. They are especially adapted for pot culture, and are 

 amongst the prettiest and most interesting Winter flowers 

 now offered. Owing to a large stock our price is very low. 



Finest Mixed. — A grand mixture of 16 best sorts. 2 for 

 5 cts.-; 8 for 15 cts.; 15 for 25 cts. 



ALLIUM NEAPOLITANU.M. 



Allium Neapolitanum. 



This beautiful variety gives the greatest satisfaction, both 

 for growing in pots and boxes in the house, or planted in the 

 flower beds for early Spring flowers. It is, however, specially 

 valuable for Winter blooming, being sure to flower splendidly 

 in any window. The large clusters of delicate white flowers 

 have a distinct beauty of their own ; they remain perfect for 

 weeks, and for floral work are unsurpassed. Plant three to 

 five bulbs in a 5-inch pot or box and you will have a lovely 

 display. 3 cts. each; 5 for 10 cts ; 12 for 20 cts. 



Allium Azureum. — A rare sort, very little known in this 

 country ; the most beautiful shade of azure blue imaginable. 

 A rare and valuable variety. 20 cts. each. 



Allium Moly. — This pretty gem should be better known ; 

 in fine contrast to the above-named sorts ; a profusion of 

 flowers of clear golden yellow. 3 cts. each; 5 for 10 cts.; 12 

 for 20 cts. 



Tropaeolum Tricolor. 



The most popular variety in this splendid family. It is 

 specially adapted to house culture. It has tuberous roots and 

 splendid stems 

 w h i c h should be

 frames or any like
