NEW OXHLIS GRAND DUCHESS 



In offering this beautiful and exquisite noveity for both Winter and 

 Summer blooming, we desire to call your attention to the fact that if 

 you are not acquainted with the beauty of the standard variety 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 blooming bulbs now in cultivation. We say 

 without hesitation that for culture in-doors either in pots, boxes, or hanging 

 baskets, and for Summer blooming out-doors 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 immense in size and 

 exquisite both in form and color. It is a continuous bloomer. While we 

 offer separate colors, they vary somewhat, but the fixed colors are pink, 

 pure white and lavender. We offer the true variety which is yet very 

 scarce, and you may depend on the bulbs giving you the very finest results. 

 The bulb should be placed about a half inch below the surface of the soil, 

 and for the best effect, bulbs of the different colors should be planted, at 

 least not less than four. Price 4 cts. each, 4 for 15 cts. ; 4L-0 cts. per dozen, 

 $3.00 per hundred, postpaid.
