 spotted, but are much larger, the petals more overlapping and

 the most distinct of recent introductions. 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



SPIR^A ASTILBOIDES FLQRIBUNDA 



This new variety is a great improvement over Spirsa Japonica. The 

 flowers are borne in large, feathery panicles of purest white, and last a long 

 time in bloom. It is dwart'er in habit, earlier and more profuse in bloom. 

 This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and graceful subjects grown, 

 its foliage and flowers combined making it one of the finest gems for winter 

 and spring decoration in the house and conservatory, while for grace and 

 elegance as a cut flower it is unequaled. Those who have tried it are 

 enthu.siastic in its praise. Fine clumps (ready in October), 30c. each, S3.00 

 per doz. (Seecut.)

 broad, long foliage, and immense broad-petaled trumpet lily-like flowers, 

 6 inches across, of a deep orange color, and very fragrant : it flowers freely 

 during late summer and autumn. It is one of the best hardy perennials 

 introduced in years, and has received highest awards from English horti- 

 cultural societies. 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. (Ready in Oclober.)

^ CHINESE DAY LILY.

 bearing large, lily-like flowers of dark orange yellow. 60c. each, $6.00 per 

 doz. (Ready in October.)

This is one of the most beautiful bulbous plants for the conservatory or 

 window garden. It is a vigorous grower, flowering with great certainty 

 and producing clusters of large, wavy petaled, lily-like flowers of the most 

 glittering vermilion scarlet. It blooms at various seasons. It requires 

 potting but seldom, and should be left to grow, blossom and increase for 

 several years, as well-established plants, when in flower, are simply mag- 

 nificent. We know of no plant that will give more continued delight than 

 this. 60c. each, $6. Ou per doz.
