Spiraea or Astilbe. 



In garden culture these flower freely during the 

 ;ummer and are perfectly hardy, but their great 

 value is when grown in pots for window and green- 

 house decoration, in winter and spring, and for forc- 

 ing for cutting. The flowers are borne in large, feath- 

 ery panicles of white, and last a long time in bloom. 

 [Ready far shipment in November.)

Gladstone. A new, large-flowering Spiraea — an im- 

 provement 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. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and 

 graceful 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 of strong roots, delivered, 25c.

 flowers in very early spring months. The bulbs are small and sev- 

 eral should be grown in a pot; it grows about 6 to 8 inches high, 

 «ach bulb producing several pretty star-shaped flowers of a deli- 

 cate milky-white, suffused with blue, and emits the perfume of 

 Primroses; they are perfectly hardy and grown in quantities in a

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 

 i n 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. 30c. each; 

 33.00 per doz. 



NEW WHITE WATSONIA. 



(Watsonia Ardernsei Alba.) 



This new white variety was introduced from South Africa recently 

 has aroused great interest and will, most likely, become a very 

 popular plant, for it has unusual merit. The bulbs, something like 

 those of gladiolus, send up branching stems, 3 to 4 feet high, each 

 stem bearing a dozen or more flowers 2J to 3 inches long by 2 inches 

 across. Its pure 'snow-white color and great substance render it 

 exceptionally beautiful as a cut flower. It may be grown as a winter 

 cut flower, or the bulbs may be planted in the spring in the garden, 

 like a gladioli, flowering from July to September. A strong plant 

 will bear as many as 250 to 300 flowers in a summer. - Strong bulbs, 

 81.00 each; 810.00 per doz. 



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 culture; 

 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.
