_ Bessera 
Elegans. 
(Coral Drops.) 
It will bloom shortly after being 
planted in the open ground, and will 
keep on blooming until frost. We 
have frequently had seven succes- 
sive flower spikes from one bulb in 
aseason. In point of beauty it is exquisite. 
The flower stems are from one to two feet 
high, supporting a dozen or more bell-shaped 
flowers of a bright coral scarlet, with white 
cups and dark blue anthers. The foliage is 
thin and rush-like, 10 to 12? inches long. Like 
the Milla, the blooms will last many days 
when cut.

Cyclobothra 
Flava 
(Golden Shell). 
The cup is Golden yel- 
low, with fine black dots 
in the petals. The three 
colors contrast most 
beautifully together. A 
few sprays of each, when 
placed together, form a 
cluster heretofore unseen 
and ‘unattainable in the 
way of flowering bulbs. 
A subtle fragrance per- 
vades the flower.

few weeks you will have a show of large

wiry atems fit them admirably for cutting 
and for late spring bedding they have few 
eguals. They bear the most lovely flowers 
imaginable—pink, white, black, yellow, req 
blush and variegated, each about two inches 
in diameter, and as double and as perfectly 
imbricated as a dahlia or a rose.
