SCILLA CLUSII. 



Scilla Clusii. 



Peruvian Hyacinth or Cuban Lily. 



To our mind this is one of the most beautiful bulbous 

 plants we have ever seen. Heretofore it has been but little 

 known, but after a trial its ease of culture and superb beauty 

 induces us to bring it before our customers in a prominent 

 manner. No bulb will give more complete satisfaction. 

 European growers recommend it as the grandest of all Win- 

 ter-blooming bulbs for house culture. The flowers are star 

 shaped and are borne in one enormous cluster. The color 

 is distinct and striking, rich dark blue. It commences to 

 bloom about Midwinter in pots and remains in flower a long 

 time. If planted in open ground protection should be given 

 the bulb. Grow it as you would a Hyacinth. We have pro- 

 cured a large stock of first-size bulbs, sure to bloom, and are 

 thus enabled to offer them at one-half the usual price. 15 

 cts. each ; 3 for 35 cts.
