A GRAND WINTER BLOOMING PLANT 



OXALIS GRAND DUCHESS 



(See Colored Plate Following^ Page) 



AN EXQUISITE NOVELTY IMMENSE FLOWERS 



BLOOMS CONTINUOUSLY FROM OCTOBER TO JUNE 



In offering this beautiful new Winter-blooming Oxalis we desire to call attention to 

 the fact that if you are not acquainted with the beauty of the standard varieties of 

 Oxalis you will be unable to appreciate by comparison the superb qualities of this new 

 variety. It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope, and is so entirely superior to anything 

 yet seen in this splendid family that it is bound to become one of the most popular Winter 

 l)]rioming bulbs now in cultivation. We say without hesitation that for culture indoors, 

 either in pots, boxes or hanging baskets, this variety stands without a peer. 



It is a dwarf, sturdy grower, making bushy plants, with cherry red stems and true 

 emerald green foliage. ' The flowers are exquisite both in form and color. They are over 

 three inches across and are thrown well above the foliage. No plant offered in this cat- 

 alogue is so generous in the production of flowers. The plant is in bloom from October 

 until June, and it is safe to say that you will not have a day in that period without 

 flowers. While we offer separate colors, they vary somewhat, but the fixed colors are 

 pink, pure white and lavender. 



We have sought to show the beauty of the flowers in our color plate illustration on 

 the following page, but until you have seen the flowers themselves, the exquisite beauty 

 and grace, not only of the flowers, but the plant as well, can be hardly appreciated. We 

 offer the true variety, which is yet very scarce, and you may depend upon the bulbs giv- 

 ing you the very finest results. The earlier they are planted the sooner you will have 

 flowers, therefore we would urge early planting. The bulbs should be placed about one- 

 half inch below the surface of the soil, and for best effer-t bulbs of the different colors 

 should be planted, at least not less than four. Take our word for it. you will be pleased 

 beyond measure with the results that this superb new Winter blooming plant will give 

 you.
