BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLAIMTIIMG 



Dielytra, or "Bleeding Heart" 



One of the most ornamental of hardy spring-flowering ' 

 plants, with elegant green foliage and long drooping racemes 

 of heart-shaped pink and white flowers. This is'deenied one 

 of the finest of all hardy garden plants. If potted in Novem- 

 ber, 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. 25c. each, 



5-50 per doz., or delivered 3"c. each, S3. 00 doz. 



Eranthis Hyemalis. 



(WINTER ACONITE. I 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite 

 look charming, resting on an emerald-green cushion of 

 leaves and forming a striking contrast to the Snowdrop, 

 Scillas and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the 

 flowers, making the plant especially valuable in moist situa- 

 tions such as under trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, 

 and where few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 8 

 inches high. 25c. doz.; SI. 25 per 100; or delivered SI. 50 

 per 100. 



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 thev 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 extraordinary size for a Cycla- 

 men, and of great substance. The leaves are proportionately large and beautifulh 

 marked. 



We offer the following separate colors, viz. : 



Rose Color, White or Crimson, at 25c. each, S2.50 per doz., or delivered $2.65 per

new giant BUTTERFLY CYCLAMEN 



This new type (C. Papilio) 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 corres- 

 ponds with the marginal 

 color. Mixed Colors, each

 ered $3.15 per doz. 



CROWN 

 IMPERIALS. 



Well-known spring- 

 blooming, stately, hardy 

 border plants, with clust- 

 ers of immense pendant, 

 bell-shaped flowers, sur- 

 mounted with a tuft of 

 green leaves. They are 

 very effective, and if left 

 undisturbed for years they 

 form gigantic and pic- 

 turesque groups, bearing 

 gorgeously colored flowers.

(DOG'S 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 

 luxuriate in rather moist, partially shady positions and do 

 very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming.

 dant bell-shaped flowers of various colors, yellow, white,

 most curious way. They are invaluable for pot culture and
