TRILLIUM. 



Grand if lorum. (Great American Wood Lily.) This is one of our most 

 beautiful American plants, perfectly hardy, growing and flowering pro- 

 fusely in partially shady nooks about the lawn, under trees, etc. The 

 flowers are large, of the finest white, changing in a few days to soft rose ; 

 if grown several in a pot it makes one of our best white Winter flowers.

Purpurea. (Scarborough 

 Lily.) A valuable free sum- 

 mer and autumn bloomer, 

 color rich red. It does well 

 planted in the open ground in 

 May, and when in bud can be 

 potted, and removed for con- 

 servatory or window decoia- 

 tion. It is one of the few 

 really good window plants.

WINTER 



ACONITE. 



{Eranthis Hyemaiis.) 



Early in Spring the golden Vallota Purpurea, 



blossoms of the Winter Aconite 



look charming, resting on an emerald green cushion of leaves and forming a strik'ug 

 contrast to the pure white Snowdrop, Spring Snowflake, and the lovely blue Scilias 

 and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the flowers, making the plant es- 

 pecially valuable in situations such as under trees, and in moist situations, which 

 the Winter Aconite enjoys, and where few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 

 8 inches high. 3c. each; 25c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100. 



ZEPHYRANTHES. 



"Zephyr Flowers" and "Flowers of the West Wind." are 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 111 the autumn will give a 

 fine displav of bloom during the winter in the window garden or conservatory. 

 1 foot high. {See cut.) 



AtamaSGO. White suffused with flesh coloi, harriy. We know of borders of 

 it as far North as Connecticut, that have stood the frosts o: several winters. 

 5c. each, 40c. per doz.; §2.50 per 100. 



Rosea. Beautiful, large rose colored flowers about three inches across. 8c. 

 each; 75c. per doz.; $5 00 per 100. 



Trillium Grandiflorum. 



URCEOLINA. 



{Urn Flower!) 

 . Pendula A urea. Bulbs with handsome showy, large, bright 

 golden-yellow flowers, brilliantly tipped with green, produced 

 in graceful, drooping, terminal clusters, in summer and autumn, 

 thriving well in pots in the greenhouse, or the bulbs may be 

 kept dormant and planted out in the open border in May, to 

 be taken up in fall like Gladiolus. {See cut.) Price, $2- each. 



TRITONIA. 



Exceedingly bright and free blooming bulbous plants, highly val- 

 uable for both garden and pot culture. T. crocata is grown by the 

 thousand for cut flowers by florists, and T. aurea is one of the 

 finest border and g eenhouse plants in cultivation; a dozen roots 

 in a ten-inch pot will in the autumn make a beautiful display. 

 The bulbs should be grown in pots in a cold frame during winter, 

 and they can either be brought in the conservatory towaids spring 

 for blooming, or can be transferred to the open ground in May for 

 summer blooming, or the bulbs can be kept dormant and planted 

 out in May like Gladiolus, and then be lifted in autumn for winter 

 blooming.
