SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS. 



The Three Gems* 



These lovely flowers are a delight to all who plant them; 

 sure to bloom ; in beautiful contrast. We offer large bulbs, 

 home grown, for one season. Cost only 20 cts. a set. 



Milla Biflora {Floating Star). — This charming bulb blooms 

 profusely all Summer; the flowers are full three inches in 

 diameter, and pure waxy white ; they are borne in pairs on 

 slender, rush-like stems, and as they are gently stirred by 

 the passing breeze remind one of floating stars. The petals 

 are of great substance, and flower stalks cut and placed in 

 water will keep blooming for a week or more. 10 cts. each ; 

 3 for 25 cts.; 75 cts. per doz. 



Bessera Eleg-ans {Coral Drops). — This beautiful variety 

 is the direct counterpart of Milla Biflora in rich and striking 

 color, equaling it in graceful beauty. Pendulous clusters of 

 bell-shaped flowers are borne on long, slender stems. The 

 color is a striking shade of coral scarlet, with pure white 

 cup and dark blue anthers. 10 cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 75 

 cts. per doz. 



Cyclobothra Flava {Golden Shell). — This golden gem is 

 of great beauty and easily grown ; the habit of the plant 

 and bloom are similar to Bessera; the color is clear golden 

 yellow with intense black dots on each petal. Fine bulbs, 

 ic cts. each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 75 cts. per doz. 



Special Offer. — The set of Three Gems for 20 cts.; 3 of 

 each variety, 9 in all, 50 cts.; 5 of each, 15 in all, 75 cts. 



Coperia DrummondL 



One of the easiest of all bulbs to grow and absolutely sure 

 tc bloom freely the first season ; equally desirable for the 

 flower beds or pots. It is of the Amaryllis family, the bulbs 

 being large and solid, sending up fine foliage and flower stalks 

 10 to 15 inches high, producing in great profusion large, beau- 

 tiful Lily-like flowers, snow white in color. In the Fall the 

 bulbs can be lifted and stored like Gladiolus or Tuberoses, 

 and will be ready for planting out again the following Spring. 

 We have a large stock of strong bulbs, sure to bloom. 10 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 25 cts.; 8 for 50 cts. 



ANOMATHECA 

 CRUENTA. 



(Scarlet Freesia.) 



This lovely little gem 

 is similar in bulb, foli- 

 age and habit to the 

 Freesia, but the flowers 

 in brilliant contrast are 

 brightest scarlet ; the 

 lower petals deeply 

 marked ; as it grows 

 exactly like a Freesia, 

 it can be planted with 

 them, and if you want 

 something really admi- 

 rable, plant some bulbs 

 of Anomatheca Om- 

 enta. The true stock 

 is limited. 6 cts. each ; 

 5 for 25 cts. 



Rare New Tigridias, 



(Peacock or Shell Flowers). 



Great advances have been made of late in the improvement 

 of this singular and brilliant flower. Nothing more desirable 

 can be planted for Summer blooming. They produce a con- 

 stant succession of most odd, striking and beautiful shell-like 

 blooms of immense size. Treat like a Gladiolus, taking up 

 the bulbs and storing them in a warm dry place during Win- 

 ter. Fine as the older varieties are known to be, the exceed- 

 ing beauty of the new Hybrids have proved a surprise to all. 

 They should be largely planted this season.
