ROMAN HYACINTH 



TYPE OF FRITILLARIA 



W^Ood Hyacinths (Campanulata) 



Elegant, hardy plants for shrubbery, borders 

 or odd corners. The splendid spikes of bell-shaped 

 flowers grow from 1 to 2 feet high. Blue and white 

 colors mixed. 3 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz. 



Fritillarias 



We know of no plant po.ssessing more striking 

 beauty of flower, combined with ease of culture, 

 than the Fritillaria; there is nothing like it. The 

 habit of growth is lily-like, and, as a pot-plant, 

 the effect is beautiful in the extreme; in fact, it 

 is as beautiful as any lily, while the profusion of 

 flowers is remarkable. Is also hardy in the open 

 groimd, but is seen at its best grown indoors in 

 pots or boxes. Requires aboiit the same treat- 

 ment as Bermuda Easter Lily, and should not 

 be given too much water. Our bulbs are specially 

 grown for us and are large, plump and sound, 

 and guaranteed to bloom. 



Recurva. The finest of the world's Fritillarias, 

 and, to our minds, one of the most beautiful 

 of bulbous plants with lily-like growth; it pro- 

 duces numerous large, pendent, bell-shaped 

 flowers, on stems 6 to 10 inches high. Fre- 

 quently as many as a dozen brilliant scarlet 

 flowers, spotted with orange in the throat, are 

 produced at one time. It is impossible to make 

 an illustration to do justice to the wonderful 

 beauty of its flowers. We have secured a fine 

 lot of bulbs for sale this season, and make the 

 price extremely low. 10 cts. each, 25 cts. for 3, 

 50 cts. for 7, 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100. 

 Mixed Varieties. This splendid mixture includes a 

 marvelous number of colors — yellow, white, 

 pink, purple, striped, splashed and checkered in 

 the most curious v»^ays. Splendid for pot culture 

 as well as for large groups in the yard or garden 

 border, or when planted in clumps; entirely 

 hardy. 20 cts. for 6, 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 

 per 100,
