The Three Qems. 



These levely flowers are a delight to all who plant them ; 



sure to bloom ; in beautiful contrast. We offer large bulbs, 



home grown, for one season. Cost only 20 cts. a set. 



Milla Bifiora {Floating Star). — This charming bulb blooms 

 profusely all Summer; the flowers are full three inches in 

 diameter, and pure waxy white; they are borne in pairs on 

 slender, rush-hke stems, and as they are gently stirred by 

 the passing breeze remind one of flouting stars. The 

 petals are of great substance, and flower stalks cut and 

 placed in water will keep blooming for a week or more. 

 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 75 ct§. per doz. 



Bessera Eleg-ans {Coral Z)rc/j-).— This beautiful variety 

 is the direct counterpart of Milla Biflora in rich and strik- 

 ing color, equaling it in graceful beauty. Pendulous clus- 

 ters of bell-shaped flowers are borne on long slender stems. 

 The color is a striking shade of coral scarlet, with pure 

 white cup and dark blue anthers. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 

 75 cts. per doz. 



Cyclobothra Flava {Golden Shell).— T\{\'=> golden gem is 

 of great beauty and easily grown ; the habit of the plant 

 and bloom are similar to Bessera ; the color is clear golden 

 yellow with intense black dots on each petal. Fine bulbs,

Coperia Drummondi. 



One of the easiest of all bulbs to grow and absolutely sure 

 to bloom freely the first season ; equally desirable for the 

 flower beds or pots. It is of the Amaryllis family, the bulbs 

 being large and solid, sending up fine foliage and flower stalks 

 10 to 15 inches high, producing in great profusion large, beau- 

 tiful Lily-like flowers, snow white in color. In the Fall the 

 bulbs can be lifted and stored like Gladiolus or Tuberoses, 

 and will be ready for planting out again the following Spring. 

 We have a large stock of strong bulbs, sure to bloom. 10 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 8 for 50 cts. 



Hemerocallis Dumortieri. 



A new variety, growing very dwarf and compact, and pro- 

 ducing an endless number of large, Lily-like iDlossoms of a 

 bright orange color. The smallest plant will bloom freely 

 the first year, but an established clump, showing hundreds of 

 its superb flowers, makes a splendid show. 15 cts. each ; 

 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for ^i. 



A Beautiful New Passion Flower, 

 Southern Beauty. 



This is a superb new variety of Southern origin. The in- 

 troducer claims for it that it is the prettiest of all climbing 

 flowering plants and that it will grow perfectly all over the 

 United States, For window or pot culture it is splendid. In 

 the open ground it can be trained up a trellis or other sup- 

 port, and will reach a height of 20 feet, and when covered 

 4 to 5 feet across with beautiful blossoms, which are supported 

 by stout stems, it is truly a beautiful sight. The color is pecu- 

 liar — blue, white, pink and red, all combined. Price, strong 

 tubers, 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts,; 9 for Si. 



Rare New Tigridias. 



(Peacock or Shell Flowers. ) 



Great advances have been made of late in the irriprovement 

 of this singular and brilliant flower. Nothing more desirable 

 can be planted for Summer blooming. They produce a con- 

 stant succession of most odd, striking and beautiful shell-like 

 blooms of immense size. Treat like a Gladiolus, taking up 

 the bulbs and storing them in a warm dry place during Win- 

 ter. Fine as the older varieties are known to be, the exceed- 

 ing beauty of the new Hybrids have proved a surprise to all. 

 They should be largely planted this season.
