AUTUMN EDITION, DINGEE GUIDE TO ROSE CULTURE 



Giant Persian Cyclamen 



Giant Persian Cyclamen 



Grace of form, beauty of color and ease 

 of growth, combined in a remarkable way. 

 For growing in the house only. 



The most beautiful and decorative of all 

 pot plants. The foliage is dark olive-green, 

 beautifully variegated with silver and rose. 

 The fairy-like flowers are carried on long 

 stems and produced for several successive 

 months. 



The flowers, which are of odd form as 

 shown in the ilustration, embrace every de- 

 lightful shade of color and are a distinctive 

 feature of this handsome house plant. 



We offer splendid, strong bulbs in white, 

 rose, crimson and mixed colors at 20 cts. 

 each, 3 for 50 cts., 7 for $1.00, $1.75 per doz., 

 postpaid. 



California Honeysuckle 



The flowers are a beautiful rose-color, a 

 single bulb producing 15 to 30 clusters. 15 

 cts. each, 2 for 25 cts.; extra-large bulbs, 

 20 cts. each, 3 for 50 cts., postpaid. 



Babianas 



These vary from the brightest blue to 

 the richest carmine, and many of them are 

 very fragrant. Any one can succeed with 

 them, and for pot culture we know of 

 nothing that will attract greater attention. 



Finest Mixed. Varieties. 5 cts. each, 50 

 cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100.

assortment of all colors, purple, 

 white, blue and red, etc., 6 for 20 

 cts., 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 

 100. 



Fritillarias 



The habit of growth is lily- 

 like, and, as a pot-plant, the ef- 

 fect is beautiful in the extreme; 

 in fact, it is as beautiful as any 

 lily, while the profusion of flow- 

 ers is remarkable. Requires 

 about the same treatment as 

 Bermuda Easter Lily, and should 

 not be given too much water. 



Recurva. Produces numerous 

 large, pendent, bell-shaped flow- 

 ers, on stems 6 to 10 inches high. 

 Frequently as many as a dozen 

 brilliant scarlet flowers, spotted 

 with orange in the throat, are 

 produced at one time. 10 cts. 

 each, 3 for 25 cts., 7 for 50 cts., 

 75 cts. per doz., $5.00 per 100, 

 postpaid. 



Mixed Varieties. This splen- 

 did mixture includes a marvelous 

 number of colors — yellow, white, 

 pink, purple, striped, splashed 

 and checkered in the most curi- 

 ous ways. Splendid for pot-cul- 

 ture as well as for the garden 

 border. Entirely hardy, 6 for 20 

 cts., 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 

 100, postpaid. 



Scilla Sibirica 

 (Praecox Squill) 



Equally desirable for planting in the open 

 ground for earliest spring flowers, or in 

 pots for winter blooming. The rich blue 

 flowers are borne in greatest profusion; 

 grown in pots, they will be in bloom from 

 Christmas until April; in the open ground 

 the flowers come almost before the snow is 

 gone. 3 for 5 cts., 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts. 

 per 100, postpaid. 



Allium 



Neapolitanum. Plant in the flower-beds 

 for early spring flowers, and in pots for 

 winter blooming. The large clusters of 

 delicate white flowers remain perfect for 

 weeks. Plant three to five bulbs in a 5- 

 inch pot. 3 for 5 cts., 12 cts. per doz., 75 

 cts. per 100, postpaid.

 the center. 3 for 10 cts., 25 cts. per doz.
