OXALIS. ZEPHRYANTHES 



ROSEA. 



MISCELLANEOUS BULBS.-(c« «-^> 



NERINE. GUERNSEY LILIES. These beautiful Lilies are probably the most popular 

 and useful of the Amaryllis family, perhaps no bulb blooms with more certainty and 

 swiftness after potting. For autumn and winter flowenng they are extremely beauti- 

 ful, throwing up stems from 18 to 24 in., surmounted with lily-like flowers about 2 in. 

 across; colors very brilliant, and in the sunlight glisten as if sprinkled with gold dust. 



Sarniensis. (Guernsey Lily.) Rich salmon-red 



Fothergilli Major. This is one of the most beautiful bulbous plants for the conservatory 

 or window garden. Clusters of large wavy-petaled, lily-like flowers of the most glitter- 

 ing vermilion-scarlet. 



OXALIS. Charming little half-trailing or bushy plants, particularly adapted for pot 

 culture and hanging baskets; the foliage alone is very attractive, and when in flower 

 they are exceedingly pretty. 



Boweii. Vivid rosy-crimson, large flower 



Lutea. Splendid large canary-yellow 



Lutea, fl. pi. Very double, bright yellow 



Rosea. Rose 



Alba. White 



Versicolor. Crimson and white 



Mixed Oxalis 



ORNITHOQALUM. arabiclm, star of bethlehem. 



A beautiful variety, throwing up a tall spike bearing numerous large, milk-white, star- 

 shaped flowers, with a black centre, and having a distinct aromatic perfume. They 

 are decidedly pretty and interesting when grown in the garden — but are more largely 

 grown for greenhouse and window decoration, being of the easiest culture. Largely 

 forced by florists now for cut flowers 



PANCRATIUM. CALATHINUM. Robust-growing, bulbous plants, producing 

 handsome clusters of large, fragrant white flowers on tall, stiff stems. They are ad- 

 mirably adapted for pot culture, flowering during the late winter months, or the bulbs 

 can be kept warm and dry, and planted out m the garden in the middle of May; they 

 will then commence flowering in July. 



PUSCHKINIA. SCILLIOIDES. , a hardy bulbous plant of great beauty, flowers 

 white striped with pale blue, on spikes. It succeeds well in pots for winter bloomin.c;. 

 It is admirably adapted for edgings and forming patches in front of mixed borders, 

 flowering in April and May. Height, 4 to 8 inches 



SPARAX.1S. Beautiful, flowers about 2 inches across, borne on long graceful spikes; 

 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 conser- 

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

 Mixed Colors 



STERNBERGIA LUTEA. One of the most charming and useful of autumnal 

 flowering bulbs. The large pure yellow flowers, which are produced from September 

 to November, are much like a Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy; very 

 hardy and increase rapidly. . . 



TRITELEIA. UNIFLORA. {Spring Star Flower.) A perfect little gem for pot cul- 

 ture. It flowers in very early spring months. The bulbs are small and several should 

 be grown in a pot; it grows abovit 6 to 8 inches high, each bulb producing several 

 pretty star-shaped flowers of a delicate milky-white, suffused with blue, and emits the 

 perfume of Primroses; they are perfectly hardy, and grown in quantities in a sunny 

 border or for edgings they are very eflfective 



VALLOTA PURPUREA. {The Scarborough Lily.) A most beautiful and 

 free summer and autumn-blooming Amaryllis-like bulbous plant that produces 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, 

 they 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 allowed 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. 



ZEPHYRANTHES. Among our most beautiful dwarf bulbous plants; very 

 effective for planting out in masses in May. flowering with great profusion during the 

 summer. They are also most suitable for pot cluture; 6 to 12 bulbs clustered in a 

 6-inch pot in the autumn will give a fine display of bloom during the winter in the 

 window garden or conservatory. 1 foot high. 



Atamasco. White suffused with flesh-pink, hardy. 



Candida. La'ge white flowers 



Rosea. Beaut-ful, large rose-colored flowers 



Sulphurea. Bright yellow
