Spirea 



One of the best hardy 

 herbaceous plants, par- 

 ticularly for cemetery 

 purposes, remaining bright and beautiful 

 when most every other plant has faded. 

 It bears numerous long, feather-like 

 spikes of small flowers of the purest white, 

 which are very useful and highly esteem- 

 ed for bouquets. When forcing Spirea 

 Japonica, it should be kept constantly 

 wet. When the clumps are planted in 

 pots, no manure should be added to the 

 earth, and no liquid manure should ever 

 be applied to them when forcing. 



Spirea Japonica, fine, strong clumps. 

 20 cents each; ^2.00 per dozen, postpaid. 

 Spirea Japonica, Compacta Multi= 

 flora, of compact growth, good for early 

 forcing, very floriferous. 20 cents each ; 

 |2.oo per dozen, postpaid. 

 Spirea by express, at purchaser'' s ex- 

 ixiA. peiise, $1.00 per dozen. 



These comparatively little known bulbs are worthy of general cultiva- 

 tion as they are easily bloomed, and their beautiful and delicately 

 colored flower clusters always attract attention. Fill a 5 or 6-inch pot 

 with sandy loam, insert six or eight bulbs, covering them about an inch deep. Place the 

 pots in a cool, moderately damp place, where they will not freeze, and give but little 

 water. When the flower spikes appear bring into a sunny place, give plenty of air and 

 water, and rather low temperature. 



Ixias, mixed varieties, 3 for 5 cents, 15 cents per dozen; |i.oo per 100 postpaid.

Wind Flower 



One of the most beautiful and showy flow- 

 ers, exceedingly brilliant in color, of neat and 

 compact growth, and with foliage elegantly 

 cut. It is not quite so hardy as many other 

 bulbs, but if planted in October or November, 

 four or five inches apart and covered one 

 inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, 

 and then is well protected by leaves and ma- 

 nure, very beautiful flowers may be expected. 

 A northerly site, protected from the wind and 

 too much sun is the best. Make the soil rich 

 and water frequently in the spring. 



If the weather is hot when anemones are in 

 bloom, shade in daytime with cheese cloth or 

 mosquito netting at three feet above them, 

 and cover the ground with moss or other 

 mulch to prevent the soil from becoming dry. 



The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, 

 if planted early, they will do well. For forc- 

 ing indoors, put three or four roots in porous, 

 rich soil, in a five-inch pot. Keep the pots in 

 a cold frame or other moist, cool situation 

 until the roots are well started, when they 

 may be removed to the place where the}' are 

 desired to bloom. Avoid heat and dry air and 

 the rich and various colored flowers will repay 

 your care. Prices include postage.
