SINGLE WHITE ROMAN HYACINTHS. 



Poman • Hyacinths. 



THE POPULAR WINTER FLOWER. 



Roman Hyacinths are deserving of a place in every collec- 

 ' tion of house plants. The flowers, as will be seen by the 

 above illustration, are extremely graceful and attractive. The 

 blooms are of the most delicate colors and tints and are de- 

 lightfully perfumed. They may be grown in pots or glasses 

 the same as other Hyacinths — the methods of treatment 

 being the same. They are decidedly popular — the demand 

 for them increasing yearly. We should be pleased to have 

 your order include a few of these general favorites. 



Double Dark Pink. — A magnificent new sort ; very 

 large deep-throated bells, grand spike. 6 cts. each; 3 for 15 

 cts.; 12 for 50 cts. 



Double White Pearl. — A valuable novelty, the most 

 popular of any ; splendid spikes of lovely, double, pearl- 

 white flowers. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 6 for 45 cts. 

 ' Single White (see cut). — Elegant bells of waxy white, 

 very lovely. 6 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts.; 12 for 50 cts.

 with other varieties. 6 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts.; 12 for 50 cts.

 distinct of all; beautiful canary yellow. 12 cts. each; 3 for 

 30 cts.; 6 for 50 cts. 



Special OflFer. — Complete Set of ^ named Roman Hya- 

 cinths offered above for 40 cts.; 2 of each, 10 in all, for j^ cts. 



Tufted Hyacinths. 



This is a Hyacinthum Comosum, and is a tremendous 

 bloomer ; deep blue tassel-like racemes ; entirely hardy and 

 fine for pot culture. Try a half dozen in a 5-inch pot. 3 

 cts. each ; 6 for 12 cts.; 12 for 20 cts. 



The Tiue Feathered Hyacinth. 



We offer the True Feathered Hyacinth ; it is a very curious 

 plant, and well worthy of culture in pots as an odd and in- 

 teresting flower. In pots, culture is of the simplest ; it, 

 however, does best in the open ground, where it is entirely 

 hardy and will become established. The flowers are borne 

 in the form of feathery plumes on graceful stems ; the color 

 is deep blue, tinged with red. 7 cts. each ; 3 for 15 cts.; 

 7 for 30 cts. 



Grape Hyacinths. 



An extremely pretty family of flowers, sometimes called 

 " Blue Lily of the Valley ;" entirely hardy, they will adapt 

 themselves to the soil and situation as naturally as grass. A 

 few bulbs will rapidly increase and produce each Spring a 

 mass of lovely bloom. For Winter blooming they give great 

 satisfaction; a few bulbs planted in a 5-inch pot and treated 

 the same as Hyacinths will produce a lovely potful of flowers. 

 The flower stalks grow from 10 to 12 inches high and produce 

 a dense spike of grape-like bells. We offer the best selection 

 obtainable in two colors. 



Improved Blue. — Sky-blue bells, tipped with white. 3 

 cts. each; 5 for 12 cts.; 12 for 25 cts.; 100 for $2. 



SnO"W White. — A very scarce sort. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 

 25 cts.; 6 for 50 cts. 



Special OflFer. — Five Improved Blue and 3 Snow White 

 Grape Hyacinths, 8 in all, for jo cts. 



Lachenalias, 



An almost unknown 

 class of plants in this 

 country. Lachenalias 

 are especially adapted 

 for Winter bloom, re- 

 quiring only to be treated 

 like Hyacinths in pots. 

 We think the greatest 

 value of Lachenalias is 

 in their remarkably dis- 

 tinct appearance, and 

 the fact that the flowers 

 remain in bloom for up- 

 wards of two months. 

 The curious colors are 

 a blending of yellow and 

 scarlet, shaded with light 

 green, the varietiesbeing 

 madebya predominance 

 of either color. The 

 foliage is also very rare, 

 being marked black and 

 reddish brown. 



Luteola. — Yellow, 

 beautifully tinged green. 

 15 cts. each. 



Pe n d. u 1 a.— Bright 

 scarlet, peculiarly shaded. 15 cts. each. 



Tricolor. — A rare sort; greenish yellow, showily tipped 

 with red. 15 cts. each. . 



Pancratium CaribbaBum. 



This is the true Giant Spider Lily, the bulbs of which are 

 immense ; grows over two feet high, producing a large umbel 

 of pure white blooms of an extraordinary form. Always 

 attracts attention and excites astonishment. A splendid 

 Winter-blooming variety. Plant in fairly rich soil in pots or 

 boxes and give abundance of water. Large-sized bulbs, 40 

 cts. each ; smaller size, 25 cts. each.
