Spiraea or Astilbe. 



In garden culture these flower freely during the summer and are 

 perfectly hardy, but their great value is when grown in pots for window 

 and greenhouse decoration, in winter and spring, and for foreing for 

 cutting. The flowers are borne in large, feathery panicles of white, 

 and last a long time in bloom. {Ready for shipment in November.) 



Japonica. The old favorite. Delivered: 18c. each $1.75 per doz. 



Prices, if buyer pays transit, 12c. each, $1.25 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



Astilboides Floribunda. A great improvement. The flowers are borne 

 in large, feathery panicles of purest white, and last a long time in 

 bloom. It is dwarter in habit, earlier and more profuse in bloom than 

 Spireea Japonica. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and grace- 

 ful subjects grown for winter and spring decoration in the house and 

 conservatory, while for grace and elegance as a cut flower it is un- 

 equalled Price, delivered: 20c. each, S2.00 per doz. 

 Prices, if buyer pays transit 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $9.00 per 100. 



Gladstone. A new, large-flowering Spiraea — an improvement over all 

 other white-flowering Spiraeas — and one of the most beautiful winter 

 and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses of flowers 

 are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong stalks 18 inches 

 high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume like trusses 

 practically enveloping the plant with a feathery foam, too beautiful 

 to be adequately described. Price of strong roots, delivered 30c. 

 each, $3.00 per doz. 

 Prices, if buyer pays transit, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz., $18.00 per 100. 



Sparaxis.-^

 the colors are of the most telling combinations and of the brightest 

 shades. They are tigered, blotched, spotted, streaked and flushed 

 in the most diverse and pleasing manner. The bulbs are not hardy 

 but do exceptionally well when grown in the conservatory or house 

 in pots or in cold frames, and flower during the winter and spring 

 Mixed colors, 3c. each, 25c. doz., $1.50 per 100.

TRILLIUM. 



GREAT AMERICAN WOOD LILY. Most 

 beautiful American plants, perfectly 

 hardy, growing and flowering profusely 

 in partially shaded nooks about the 

 lawn, under trees, etc. If grown several

 flowers.

VALLOTA PURPUREA. 



" The Scarborough Lily.' A most beau- 

 tiful and free summer and autumn-bloom- 

 ing Amaryllis-like bulbous plant that pro- 

 duces strong spikes of brilliant scarlet 

 flowers. They are splendid for pot culture- 

 in window gardens and conservatories. If 

 several bulbs are planted in a 10-inch pot 

 or tub. thev form highly decorative groups, 

 for piazza and lawn. We have frequently 

 seen such a potful bearing 20 to 25 spikes,, 

 each carrying 5 to 8 flowers at one time. 

 For best results the bulbs should be al-- 

 lowed to grow undivided and undisturbed]' 

 as long as possible. When budding, and 

 flowering, manure water will prove very 

 beneficial. The bulbs may be planted in 

 open ground in May, and be potted in the 

 fall, if preferred. 40c. each, $4.00 doz.
