ERANTBTS HYEMALIS. 



FRITILLARIA. 



DODECATHEON, or AMERICAN COWSLIP. 



Native hardy perennials that deserve extensive cultivation, exceedingly effective dwarf 

 plants for shady, sheltered situation. The pretty Cyclamen-shaped flowers are borne 

 oc stems 12 to 16 inches high, in elegant umbels. In addition to their value outside 

 they may be employed for the decoration of greenhouses or conservatories, if cool, or 

 they can be grown in cold frames and brought inside for flowering. 



Hendersonii. Deep rose-colored flowers 



Cleveland! Alba. A new pure white, lovely and fine 



ERANTHIS HYEMALIS. winter aconite. 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look charming, resting on 

 an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking contrast to the Snowdrop, 

 Scillas and Chionodoxa. Thefoliage remains long after the flowers, making the plant 

 especially valuable in moist situations such as under trees, which the Winter Aconite 

 enjoys, and where few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high 



ERYTHRONIUM. ciant docs-tooth violet. 



Beautiful plants, perfectly hardy, the foliage is usually charmingly variegated, and a 

 mass of 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight even when not in flower, but when the grace- 

 ful flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist, 

 partially shady positions and do very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming. 



Crandiflorum. A very large flowering variety, bearing from 6 to 12 bright yellow 

 flowers on stem 12 to IS inches high 



Ciganteum. The most floriferous of the species, often bearing 12 to 16 flowers of 

 straw color with centre of orange; leaves mottled dark browu 



Hendersonii. Large flowers of heliotrope or lilac color, with a purple centre, surrounded 

 by a narrow, yellow ring: one of the finest .' 



Hartwegii. The easiest of all to grow. Light yellow flowers on separate stalks; 

 abundant bloomer ; leaves mottled 



Johnsonii. A new variety and considered one of the handsomest. The plants are 

 thrifty, freely producing flowers of a rich dark rose with an orange-colored centre; 

 leaves mottled dark brown, and look as if varnished 



Watsonii. Full creamy-white flower, orange at centre; leaves mottled brown ; one of 

 the very best 



Mixed Californian Varieties 



FREESIAS. (See page 25.) 



FRITILLARIA. meleacris latifolius. 



Singular dwarf spring-flowering plants, bearing large pendent bell-shaped flowers of 

 various colors, yellow, white, black, purple, striped and splashed and checkered in the 

 most curious way. They are in valuable for pot culture and exceedingly pretty when 

 grown in large clumps in the border in a dry situation. 



Mixed Varieties 



GESNERA. Greenhouse tuberous-rooted plants, remarkable for the beauty of their 

 foliage and also for their spikes of brilliantly colored flowers, mostly scarlet and 

 yellow. For a continuous succession of bloom, the plants should be started at 

 different times. 



Mixed Varieties 



GLADIOLUS. EARLY-FLOWERING HARDY. (Ready in November.) 



These Gladiolus are invaluable Ipr flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The 

 flowers are smaller and more K?fined than those of the Uandavensis Gladiolus; the 

 colors and markings are very Iwandsome; the bulbs can be kept dormant until spring 

 and then be planted in open ground if preferred, blooming in June and July. If 

 planted in cold frames they will flower as early as May, and this is perhaps the better 

 way in very cold localities. 

 The Bride. (Colvilli Alba.) Beautiful; purest white flowers, set closely on stem; 



most valuable for forcing for cut flowers 



Mixed Early-flowering Hardy Gladiolus 



GLOXINIAS. Most charming greenhouse plants, of dwarf habit. Their flowers— 

 often 3 to 4 inches across — are produced in greatest profusion, and are of the most 

 exquisite and gorgeous colors, many of which are magnificently spotted, mottled and 

 blended. They bloom continuously for months, and by starting at intervals, a 

 succession of their splendid flowers may be had nearly the whole year round. (Ready- 

 in November.) 

 Mixed Varieties 



HELLEBORUS NIGER, or CHRISTMAS ROSE. 



Most beautiful, hardy plants, growing freely in almost any situation, flowering in great 

 profusion in early spring, and if grown in the house, or in frames, will bloom from 

 December all through the winter months. The flowers, 2 or 3 inches in diameter, are 

 of pure white. (Ready in November.)
