Graudiflorum. (Great American Wood 

 Lily.) This is one of the most beautiful 

 American plants, perfectly hardy, grow- 

 ing and flowering profusely in partially 

 shady nooks about the lawn, under 

 trees, etc. The flowers are large, of the 

 finest white, chjingiug in a few days to 

 soft rose ; if grown several in a pot it 

 makes one of the best white winter 

 flowers. {See ad on page 4:6.) 5c. each,

= = TRITONIA. = = 



Exceedingly bright and free-blooming 

 bulbous jjlants, highly valuable for both 

 garden .and pot culture. A dozen roots in 

 a ten-inch pot will in the autumn make a 

 beautiful display. The bulbs should be 

 grown in pots in a cold frame during 

 winter, and they can either be brought in 

 the conservatoi'y toward spring for bloom- 

 bulbs can be kept dormant and planted out in May, like 

 and then be lifted in the autumn for winter blooming. 

 Colors. 3 for lOc, 30c. per doz., $2.00 per 100. 



WINTER ACOMIE. 



Beautiful and gi'acef ul climbing plants 

 for the conservatory or window garden, 

 producing in the early spring months 

 richly colored flowers. They can be 

 grown in pots and trained over low trel- 

 lises — or as a bracket plant in the win- 

 dow. (See cut.]

TJniflora. (Spring Star Flower,) A 

 perfect little gem for either pot cul- 

 ture or for borders. Each bulb pro- 

 duces several pretty star-shaped flow- 

 ers, oue or two inches across, of a 

 delicate milky white sufi'used with 

 blue and emits the perfume of prim- 

 roses, {See cut.) 2 for 5c., 20c, per 

 doz., $1.00 per 100. 



TRITELEIA, 



VALLOTA. 



Purpurea, (Scarborough Lily.) A valuable free summer and 

 autumn bloomer ; color, rich red. It does well jilanted in the open 

 ground in May, and when in bud can be potted and removed for 

 conservatory or window decoration, or it can be grown continu- 

 ously in pots or tubs as it improves with age. Requires repotting 

 but .seldom and can be left to grow, blossom and increase for 

 several years, as well-established plants 

 when in flower are simply magnificent. 

 We know of no plant that will give more 

 continued delight than this. It is one 

 of the few really good window j^lants. 

 (.See cut.) 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



ZEPHYRANTHES. 



" Zephyr Flowers " and " Flowers of the 

 West Wind," among our most beautiful 

 dwarf bulbous plants, very effective for 

 planting out in masses in May, flowering 

 with great profusion during the summer. 

 They are also most suitable for pot cul- 

 ture : 6 to 12 bulbs clustered in a 6-inch 

 pot in the autumn will give a fine display 

 of bloom during the winterin the window 

 garden or conservatory. 1 foot high. (See 

 cut.)

THE GOLDEN 



"WINTER 



ACONITE." 



(Eranlhis Hyemalis.) 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of 

 Winter Aconites look charming, resting 

 on an emerald green cushion of leaves 

 and forming a striking contrast to the 

 pure white Snowdroji, Spring Snowflake, 

 and the lovely blue Scillas and Chiono- 

 doxa. The Winter Aconite's flower ap- 

 pears in the garden very early. The 

 large golden blossoms often unfold 

 among ice and snow. For winter bloom- 

 ing in pots it is a bulb which all should 

 have ; the large golden blossoms show 

 to great advantage. It is perfectly hardy 

 and sure to succeed either in the garden 

 or in pots, 6 to 8 inches high. (See cut.)
