 brilliantly colored flowers which are wonderfully beautiful. 

 If planted in the Autumn months they will bloom in early 

 Spring, and if planted in the Spring they will bloom during 

 the Summer and Autumn. Also very fine for pot culture in 

 the house during Winter, where they can be grown in. the 

 simplest manner; the bulbs can remain in the same pot year 

 after year without being disturbed. We hope every order 

 will include some Anemones.

 brilliancy ; the flowers are

 million or scarlet color. In 

 the open ground it is one of 

 the first flowers of Spring, 

 and is perfectly hardy ; it is

 it will not succeed. Splendid

Fritillaria l^ecurva. 



This singularly beautiful plant has attracted widespread 

 attention, owing to the striking beauty of the flowers and its 

 ease of culture. We know of nothing like it; the habit of 

 growth is lily-hke ; the numerous large pendent bell-shaped 

 flowers are borne profusely on stems 6 to 10 inches high. 

 The color is clear scarlet, marked with jet black. As a pot 

 plant the effect is extremely showy ; it is as beautiful as any 

 Lily, the profusion of flowers is remarkable; it is perfectly 

 hardy in the open ground, but to be seen at its best it should 

 be grown indoors in pots or boxes. The cultivation in pots 

 for Winter blooming is very simple. It requires about the 

 same treatment as the Bermuda Easter Lily. Care should 

 be taken, however, not to give too much water when about 

 to flower and while in flower. We have secured a fine. lot of 

 bulbs for sale this season, and make the price within the 

 reach of all. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 7 for 50 cts.; 75 cts. 

 per dozen. 



Fritillaria Pluriflora. 



This rare species has long been considered mythical until 

 very recently, when our collector secured a fine supply of it. 

 It is the genuine variety, a sure, profuse bloomer, easily 

 grown, and altogether one of the best bulbs offered in this 

 book. The flowers are large, and of a clear reddish purple 

 color. No better pot plant can be had. 15 cts. each ; 2 for 

 25 cts.; 5 for 50 cts. 



Tritelia Uniflora. 



A most valuable addition to Winter-flowering bulbs for 

 house culture. Several bulbs can be planted in a four- or 

 five-inch pot ; each will send up numerous flower stalks, pro- 

 ducing exquisite star-shaped blossoms ; pure white, beauti- 

 fully lined with azure blue. The flowers follow each other 

 successively, and a pot or basket of these bulbs presents a 

 lovely blooming appearance all Winter. This variety is also 

 entirely hardy ; can be planted in open ground, blooming 

 splendidly in Spring. Fine bulbs, 2 for 5 cts.; 12 for 20 cts.; 

 $1 per 100 



Tritelia Violacea. — This fine new variety is beautiful 

 violet-blue color ; otherwise like Tritelia Uniflora. 3 for 

 10 cts.; 12 for 25 cts.
