STERNBERGIA. 



(Mt. Etna Lily, or Lily of the Field.) 

 liiitea. One of the most charming and useful of all autumnal flowering 

 bulbs. The flowers, which are produced from September to November, 

 rise to a height of from three to six inches, are pure yellow, much like a 

 Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy. They are not only very 

 hardy, but increase rapidly, spreading out to a foot in breadth of flowers 

 and foliage. 3 for 10c, 35c. doz., 52.60 100. 



TRITEEEIA. 



"Uniflora. (Spring Star Flower.) A perfect little gem for either pot culture 

 or for borders. Each bulb produces several pretty star-shaped flowers, 

 one to two inches across, of a delicate milky white suffused with blue, and 

 emits the perfume of primroses. 2 for 5c, 20c doz., $1.00 100, $7,00 1,000. 



TRILLIUM. 



"G-randinormii. (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. 

 [See cut.) 5c each, 50c. doz., $3.75 100. Add to doz. and 100 price postage, 

 1c. each. 



VALLOTA PURPUBEA. 



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 in the 

 autumn will give a fine display of bloom during the winter in the window 

 garden or conservatory. 1 foot high. (See cut.) 



Atamasco. White suffused with flesh color. 3 for 10c, 30c. doz., $2.00 100.

'WINTER ACONITE. 



(Eranthis Hyemalis.) 

 Early in Epring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look charming, 

 resting on an emerald green cushion of leaves and forming a striking con- 

 trast to the pure white Snowdrop, Spring Snowflake, and the lovely blue 

 Scillas and Chionodoxa. 3 to 8 inches high. 2 for 5c, 20c doz., $1.00 100. 



THULIUM GRANDIFLORUM. 



TROPiEOLUM. 



Beautiful and graceful climbing plants for the conservatory or win- 

 dow garden, producing in the early spring months richly colored 

 flowers. They can be grown in pots and trained over low trellises— or 

 as a bracket plant in the window. 

 Jarrattii. Scarlet, yellow and black. 15c. each, $1.50 doz. 



TRITONIA. 



Exceedingly bright and free-blooming bulbous plants, highly valuable 

 for both garden and pot culture. 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 toward spring for blooming, or the bulbs can be 

 kept dormant and planted out in May, like Gladiolus, and then be lifted 

 in the autumn for winter blooming. 

 mixed Colors. 3 for 10c, 35c. doz., $2.50 100.
