DKEEE'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 



These charming hardy spring flowers having such 

 brilliant colors are becoming better known, and 

 more popular as a garden flower; both double and 

 single are equally desirable, and no garden should 

 be without them. They are well adapted either for 

 pot or border culture, and planted in masses are most 

 effective. They succeed best in a light, rich and well- 

 drained loam. Plant in October or November, or a& 

 soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. 

 If planted in the autumn, they should be covered 

 with leaves, straw or long manure on the approach 

 of winter. 



For pot culture fill with any rich porous compost,, 

 and good drainage, planting four roots in a six-inch 

 pot, place in a cold frame, or any moderately cool 

 situation, giving very little water until the plants 

 appear, then remove to the greenhouse or sitting-rooiri 

 window.

ANEMONE JAPONICA 



(Honorine Jobert). 



20 cents. $2.00 per dozen. 

 One of the most beautiful of the 

 hardy herbaceous plants, and a finer 

 bed of flowers can hardly be imagined 

 than these Japanese Anemones, which 

 commence to open their rich colored 

 single bloom in August, and ever con- 

 tinuing to increase their beauty until 

 the end of autumn. They thrive best 



in a light rich, somewhat moist soil, and should not be transplanted more than is necessary to 



divide them, when they become too thick. A covering of leaves, straw or long manure iu 



the winter, is sufficient for our most severe winters.

DOUBLE CHRYSANTHEMUM ANEMONE. 



ISa^rL-ULrLC-CLluLS. 



For symmetry of form and brilliancy of color in almost all the varieties and hues which 

 are recognized among flowers, the Ranunculus is probably unequalled by any other ; for its 

 culture it requires a good depth of light, rich garden soil. The tubers are rather tender, and 

 can be planted out of doors early in the spring: also planted out in the fall, if thoroughly 

 protected from frost, by a covering of straw, leaves, or long manure; and grown in pots, for 

 forcing into early bloom in the greenhouse, if planted in November or December.
