MISCELLANEOUS BVLBS. -continued. 



COOPERIA DRUMMONDI. Excellent for winter flowering, or the bulbs can 

 be kept dry and be planted out in the garden in the spring, where a clump of bul' s 

 planted close together will bloom successively from May to September, the flowers 

 are star-shaped, pure white, fragrant and expanding during evening 



CROWN IMPERIALS. Well-known spring-blooming, stately, hardy border 

 plants, with clusters of immense pendent, bell-shaped flowers, surmounted with a tuft 

 of green leaves. They are very effective, and if left undisturbed for years they form 

 gigantic and picturesque groups, bearing gorgeously colored flowers. 



Aurora. Red 



Crown upon Crown. Several whorls of flowers one above the other 



Sulphurea. Sulphur-yellow 



Mixed Colors 



DIELYTRA, or "BLEEDINQ HEART." 



One of the most ornamental of hardy spring-flowering plants, with elegant green foliage 

 and long drooping racemes of heart-shaped flowers. This is deemed one of the finest of 

 all hardy garden plants. If potted in November, left outside till it has formed new 

 roots and then brought into a gentle heat, it may be had in flower in the greenhouse 

 in February and March. (Ready in Ncvember.) 



Spectabilis. Magnificent racemes of pink and white flowers 



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. The foliage 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. giant doq's-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. 



Mixed California Varieties 



FRITILLARIA. meleaqris latifolids. 



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 invaluable for pot culture and exceedingly pretty when 

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



Mixed Varieties 



ViblSlNclvA. 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 Glacioljs are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The 

 flowers are smaller and more refined than those of the Gandavensis Gladiolus; the 

 colors and markings are very handsome; the bulbs can be kept dormant until sprini? 

 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 



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

 often 3 to 4 inches across — are produced m 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 succes- 

 sion of their splendid flowers may be had nearly the whole year round. {Ready in 

 November.) 

 Mixed Varieties 



II 



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 Novembcr.^ La*'5re Clumos
