ERANTHIS HYEMALIS. winTER ACONITE. 
Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look charming, resting on an 
emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking contrast to the Snowdrop, Scillas 
and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the flowers, making the plant especially 
valuable in moist situations such as under trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, and 
where few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high. 7 ah a eee es: 03 25 1.40 
EREMURUS ROBUSTA. Majestic, tuberous-rooted plant. A noble ernament in 
flower garden or on the lawn. The individual flowers of peach pink color—and very fra- 
grant—are as large as a silver half-dollar—are closely arranged on stately spikes 6 to 1( 
feet high, forming a magnificent column of bloom during June and July. Give a sunny | 
position, sheltered frem gales; plant the tubers in the fall, while dormant, and set about & | 
inches deep. Although hardy, it will be safer in Northern States to protect with 4 or ( |

GLADIOLUS. EARLY-FLOWERING HARDY. (Ready in November.) 
These Gladiolus are invaluable for flowering in the greenhouse for winter bloom. The flowers 
are smaller and more refined than those of the Gandavnesis Gladiolus; the colors and 
markings are very handsome; the bulbs can be kept dormant until spring and then be 
planted in open ground if preferred, blooming in June and July. If planted in cold frames 
they will flower as early as May, and this is perhaps the better way in very cold localities. .

GLOXINIAS. Most charming greenhouse plants, of dwarf habit. Their flowers— 
often 3 to 4 inches across—are produced in greatest profusion, and are of the most ex- 
quisite and gorgeous colors, many of which are magnificently spotted, mottled and blended. 
They bloom continuously for months, and by starting at intervals, a succession of thei: 
splendid flowers may be had nearly the whole year round. (Ready in November.)
