In introducing this splendid new variety for the first time, 

 we recommend it as a valuable addition to our gardens. 

 Those who know the beauty of Erythronium will best appre- 

 ciate this new species when we say it is the most beautiful of 

 the family. The flowers are large, of great substance and in 

 color a very striking white, tinged with green. The leaves 

 are narrow, beautifully marbled and mottled with brown. 

 It is unlike any other variety in cultivation, and being of easy 

 culture, growing to perfection in ordinary soil and location, 

 is worthy of recognition. Fine bulbs, 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 

 cts.; 7 for 50 cts. 



Ornithogalum Arabicum. 



A Splendid Winter-f lowering Bulb. Sure to Bloom* 



This magnificent new Winter-blooming bulb from Arabia 

 gives great satisfaction. The bulbs are large and solid, 

 somewhat resembling Hyacinths; the leaves are long, nar- 

 row and graceful ; flower stalks are thrown up to a height of 

 18 or 20 inches, and produce immense clusters of pearly- 

 white flowers, each having a jet-black centre. This distinct 

 character, together with the durability of the flowers, makes 

 this grand novelty the best Winter-bloomer now offered. 

 Bulbs can be planted in 4-inch pots, and given the same cul- 

 ture as Hyacinths. If planted in open ground, they should 

 be given slight protection. Large bulbs, sure to bloom, 5

 tions ; very ornamental and interesting. 2 for 5c; 12 for 20c. 



The Cuban Lily. 



The Cuban Lily. 



(Scilla Clusii.) 



A Magnificent Winter-blooming Bulb. 

 This is one of the most beautiful bulbous plants we have 

 ever seen. For ease of culture, sureness of bloom and 

 superb flower it stands at the head of all Winter-blooming 

 bulbs for house culture. It is exceedingly rare, and the diffi- 

 culty and expense necessary to procure it heretofore has kept 

 it, like many other splendid plant novelties, in obscurity. 

 The flowers are star shaped, and are borne in one enormous 

 cluster. The color is distinct and strikingly rich, a dark blue 

 with golden-yellow anthers, giving a magnificent effect. Its 

 delicious fragrance is not unlike the Sweet Alyssum. It com- 

 mences to bloom about Midwinter in pots, and remains in 

 bloom for a long time. The foliage is handsome, and even 

 after the flower fades it is a splendid decorative plant. It 

 should be grown just the same as a Hyacinth. Hardy in 

 open ground with light protection. It creates a sensation 

 wherever seen. Large, blooming bulbs, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 

 50 cts.; 9 for $1.00.
