CYCLAMEN.-*^*- 



These are among the most beautiful and interesting winter and spring flowering bulbs 

 for the vrindo'w and greenhouse. Not only are the flowers of striking beauty, but the 

 foliage is also highly ornamental ; consequently they are very decorative, even ■when not 

 in bloom. There are no plants better adapted for pot culture, and few that produce such 

 a profusion of bloom ; the flowers range through many shades, pink, crimson, white, etc., 

 some being beautifully spotted. Mostof them are, moreover, delicately fragrant. (Seecut.)

DICENTRA CUCULLARIA. 



ERYTHRONIUM 



GRANDIFLORUn. 



}it Dog-s Tooth Violet. 



A beautiful large flow- 

 ering variety, perfectly 

 hardy ; the foliage is 

 charmingl}'- variegated, 

 and a mass of 15 or 20 

 plants is a pretty sight, 

 even when not in flower, 

 but when the graceful 

 flowers are in bloom the 

 effect is matchless. The 

 plants luxuriate in 

 rather moist, partially 

 shady positions, and do 

 very nicely when grown 

 in pots in frames and 

 brought into the con- 

 servatory or window 

 garden for winter 

 blooming. This variety 

 bears from 6 to 12 yel- 

 low or cream-colored 

 flowers on stems 12 to 13 

 inches high. (See cut.)
