HIS is one of the finest ■winter-flowering plant9 

 for pot culture that we have ever seen ; it is 

 such a strong, luxuriant grower that one bulb 

 will be sufficient for a 6 or 8 inch pot. Place in a 

 dark, cool position for a few weeks to root thor- 

 oughly, and remove to a sunny situation in the 

 window or conservatory in a temperature of about 

 60Fahr.,and the great prof usion of bloom produced 

 in uninterrupted abundance for weeks will astonish 

 and delight you. The flowers are of the purest 

 bright buttercup yellow. Well-grown plants have 

 produced as high as seventy flower stems at one 

 time, and over 1,000 flowers in one season. The 

 flowers, and frequently the leaves, fold up at night 

 and open again the next morning, but when grown 

 in a partially shaded situation the flowers remain 

 open all the time. Properly treated, the plants will 

 flower in six weeks from the time the bulbs are 

 planted. 



We do not claim the Bermuda Buttercup Oxalis 

 to be strictly a new plant, but a greatly improved 

 selection from Oxalis Cernua, grown in the con- 

 genial soil and climate of Bermuda until the bulbs 

 have attained great strength, producing bulbs, 

 plants and flowers larger and more luxuriant in al2 

 parts than the type, 10c. each, 3 for 25c, $1.00 doz., 

 free by mail.

The Oxalis you sent us for trial were kept during the vyinter in a very cool green- 

 house and are only just now coming into full bloom. We yesterday counted £9fne 

 clusters of bloom on one of the plants, and the other has nearly as many. I do not 

 think therehas been a day since the plants got fairly started when there were not 

 tome blooms. It certainly forms a very attractive plant.

The sample of Yellow Oxalis sent us some time ago at hand. We consider it the 

 finest Yellow Oxalis we have ever seen. It's a beauty. E. H. HUNT, 



March 8, 1894. Chicago, III. 



We think the Yellow Oxalis is really a grand thing. We tested the bulbs yo~; 

 sent us, and at this time the S-inch pot, in which we planted them, is covered with 

 bloom, and has been so for over a month. ROBERT SCOTT at- SON, 



March 13, 1894. Philadelphia, Pa. 



We find the Yellow Oxalis sent us some time since for trial is a vigorous grower 

 and a very free bloomer, and altogether quite an improvement over anything of the 

 tort we hitherto have seen. We regard it as being of much merit.
