GIANT PERSIAN CYCLAMEN. 



These are among our most beautiful and interesting winter and spring-flowering bulbs 

 for the window and greenhouse. Not only are the flowers of striking beauty but the 

 foliage is also highly ornamental, consequently they are very decorative even when not 

 in bloom. There are no plants better adapted for pot culture, and few that produce 

 such a profusion of bloom; the flowers range through many shades of pink, crimson, 

 white, etc., some being beautifully spotted. Most of them are, moreover, delicately 

 fragrant. Our bulbs are from the most famous Cyclamen grower in Europe and will 

 produce flowers of rare merit. The flowers of this magnificent giant strain are of extra- 

 ordinary size for Cyclamen, and of great substance. The leaves are proportionately 

 large and beautifully marked. We offer the following separate colors, viz.: 



Rose Color, White or Crimson, at 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.. or delivered $2.15 per doz. 



New Salmon, Colored, beautiful. 30c. each, $.3.00 per doz. 



Mixed Colors. Giant Persian Cyclamen, 18c. each, $1.75 per doz., or delivered, S1.90 

 per doz. 



^^^ ^'^^"^ BUTTERFLY CYCLAMEN. 



This new type (C. Rococo") produces very large flowers with fringed and fluted edges 

 being further distinguished by coloring differing from that of the body of the flower, as 

 white with red or purple edge, rose with scarlet edge, crimson with garnet or violet 

 edge, etc. The color of the eye or base of the flower usually corresponds with the 

 marginal color. Mixed Colors, each 30c.; $3.00 per doz.; or delivered, $3.25 per doz. 



DIELYTRA, or "Bleeding Heart." 



One of the most ornamental of hardy spring-flowering plants, 

 with elegant green foliage and long droopmg racemes of heart- 

 shaped pink and white flowers. This is deemed one of the finest of 

 all hardy garden plants. If potted in November, left outside till it 

 has formed new roots and then brought into a gentle heat, it may be 

 had in flower in the greenhouse in February and March. (Ready in 

 November.) 



Dielytra Spectabilis. Large flowering roots. 20c. each, $2.00 per 



doz., or delivered 25c. each, $2.50 doz.

ERYTHRONIUM. (dqcs tooth violets.) 



Beautiful plants, perfectly hardy, the foliage is usually charmingly variegated, and a 

 mass of 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight even when not in flower, but when the graceful 

 flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants lu.xuriate in rather moist, 

 partially shady positions and do very nicely when grown in pots or bowls of Henderson's 

 Fibre." for winter blooming. 



Erythronium Grandiflora. Mixed Colors. New large flowered hybrids, including 

 purples, rose, white, etc.; 35c. doz.; $2.25 per 100; or delivered $2.50 per 100. 



Qrowing bulbs in fibre is an interesting, easy, and cleanly method of flowering them in the house in W inter. See page 47.
