JAPAN LILIES (Lllium Lancifolium). 



These superb Lilies are perfectly hardy, flowering freely in July and 

 August, forming one of the most striking objects in the flower border. 

 Strong bulbs, for spring planting, can be furnished as late as the 1st of 

 April, after which time they can be furnished in pots, for turning out 

 into the border. They also flower finely in pots.

MADEIRA, OR MIGNONETTE VINE. 



Also known as the Mexican Vine. 



Of rapid growth, suitable for covering arbors and trellis work. 

 Flowers feathery white, with a fragrance resembling Mignonette ; strong 

 roots. 10 cts. ; $1.00 per doz. 



BASELLA RUBRA VARIEGATA. 



A beautiful species of Mexican Vine, of a shrubby habit ; height 

 about 18 inches, with large fleshy, white and green foliage ; bright red 

 stems. Flowers pink ; perfume similar to Mignonette. An introduction 

 from the West Indies ; fine for bedding out, or planting in vases, in a 

 sunny position. 25 cts. ; $2.50 per doz. 



VALLOTA PURPUREA. 



Somewhat of a misnomer as re- 

 gards color, for the flowers are of 

 a brilliant scarlet, resembling the 

 Amaryllis, the bulb throwing up 

 its strong stems about one foot 

 high, with from five to eight of 

 its lily-like flowers ; very orna- 

 mental for bedding out, or culti- 

 vation in pots. Unlike many 

 other bulbs, it requires no season 

 of rest, but can be kept con- 

 stantly in a growing condition. 

 The soil should be equal parts of 

 peat, leaf-mould, and loam, and 

 care taken not to over-pot, as they 

 flower better when pot-bound. 

 Price from 50 cts. to $1.00, accord- 

 ing to size of bulb.
