ANEMONE (Wind Hower) Ready in September 



One of the most beautiful and showy flowers, exceedingly brilliant in 

 color. Plant in October or November, four or five inches apart and cover 

 one inch deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, and then if well pro- 

 tected by leaves or litter, very beautiful flowers may be expected. Make 

 the soil rich and water frequently in the spring. 



If the weather is hot when anemones are in bloom, shade in day time 

 and cover the ground with mulching to prevent the soil from becoming dry. 



The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, if planted early, they will do 

 well. For forcing indoors, put three or four roots in porous, rich soil in a 

 five-inch pot. Keep the pots in a cool situation until the roots are well 

 started, when they may be removed to the place where they are desired 

 to bloom. Prices include postage.

COLCHICUM-AUTUMNALUM. Ready in September 



A species of crocus, producing its flowers late in autumn. The following 

 spring the plant throws up its foliage and ripens its seed. Six or eight 

 flowers are produced from one bulb. Its culture is the same as given for 

 crocus. It is hardy and will endure the coldest weather. The bulbs do better 

 if left undisturbed for several years. 



6 cents each; 60 cents per dozen. 



DIELYTR A (Bleeding Heart) Ready in November 



Charming, hardy perennial plants with foliage much cut, blooming in the 



early spring. They require 

 only the ordinary culture 

 of border plants and like a 

 rich, light soil. The flowers 

 are a delicate pink color, 

 graceful and produced in 

 great abundance. 



Dielytra Spectabilis, 10 cents each; |i.oo per dozen, postpaid. 



1 2\. 1 /V O Ready in September 



These bulbs are worthy of more general cultivation as they are easily 

 bloomed and their beautiful, delicately colored flower clusters al- 

 ways attract attention. Fill a 5 or 6-inch pot with sandy loam, insert six 

 or eight bulbs, covering them about an inch deep. Place the pots in a 

 cool, moderately damp place, where they will not freeze, and give but 

 little water. - When the flower spikes appear bring into a sunny place, 

 give plenty of air and water, and rather low temperature. 

 Ixias, mixed varieties, 3 for 5 cents; 15 cents per dozen; 

 |i.oo per 100 postpaid.

 eight bulbs in a pot, in good rich soil and cover about one inch deep.

 cultivated in the favorable soil and climate of Bermuda, until it surpasses 

 the type in strength, size and luxuriance of plant and flower. The flowers 

 are a bright, buttercup yellow and are produced in wonderful profusion 

 This variety is particularly well adapted to shallow pots and hanging 

 baskets because of its long blooming period.

 freezing weather. Set about two or three inches deep and one inch apart 

 in clumps or triple rows; if planted singly they are not so conspicuous.
