MIXED CROCUS 



The bulbs offered under this head are smaller than the 

 Giant Named sorts offered on page 18, but are quite satisfactory 

 for planting in the grass or for any position out of doors. In 

 planting care should be taken not to set the bulbs too deep; a 

 covering of two inches of soil is enough.

White Calla (Richardia ^thiopica). The White CalJa, 

 or Lily of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, 

 and in winter is one of our best window plants. To aid pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant from the middle of June 

 until the last of August; repot in good, rich soil, using 6 to 

 8-inch pot; give water, light and heat in abundance, and the 

 result will be most satisfactory.

Godfrey Everblooming. This is a great improvement 

 over the ordinary white Calla being of even freer growth and 

 much more floriferous over a longer season, tlie flowers while 

 a trifle smaller are of purer white and delicately scented. 

 Strong flowering bulbs, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Golden Vellow (Richardia Elliottiana). This is the best 

 of the yellow Callas, its flowers being as large as the popular 

 white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden-yellow of velvety 

 texture; the foliage is dark green, with translucent creamy- 

 white spots, which adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, 

 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz. 



Dreer's Improved Purity Freesias 



Calla Lilies 



FREESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bull>s, possessing a 

 peculiar grace of form; and its fragrance is most delightful, rne pot 

 of a dozen bulbs being sufficient to perfume « whole house. As cut 

 flowers they are extremely valuable; the unexpanded blooms opening 

 in water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 

 ance is really remarkable. They force very easily, and can be had 

 in flower in January, and continue in succession until June. For full 

 cultural directions, see our new book, "Hints on the Growiiui of 

 Bulbs." Price, 25 cts., or free to customers who ask for it when 

 ordering.
