Anemone Fulgens. 



Astilbe Japonica 



(Spiraea.) 



A splendid plant for forcing in the greenhouse 

 or the conservatory, where it produces beautiful 

 sprays of silvery-white flowers during February and 

 March. It is perfectly hardy, and when planted 

 outside it blooms in June. Its dark green foliage 

 resembles some of our well-known Ferns, and 

 when covered with bloom is very attractive. 



Clumps, 25 cents each ; $2.50 per dozen. Strong 

 clumps, by mail, 50 cents each.

Scarlet Wind Flower. 



(Anemone Fulgens.) 



One of the most attractive and desirable flowers 

 for winter forcing or early spring blooming. Its 

 dazzling vermilion flowers are very pretty and are 

 borne in profusion. For planting in groups of 

 shrubbery or in sheltered places on the lawn or 

 borders they are admirable, as they come into 

 bloom soon after the Crocus and last a long time. 



S cents each ; 60 cents per dozen ; $4.00 per 100. 



Astilbe Japonica. 



OR06US. 



A universal favorite, being neat, dwarf and compact, and 

 varied in all the essential shades of color for producing 

 harmony of effect. The principal adaptation of this bulb con- 

 sists in its suitability for planting near the edge of flower 

 borders, or among plants or shrubbery where its removal is 

 not a necessit}'. 



Plant in October, November or December, in ordinary 

 rich garden soil, placing the bulbs about two inches deep, 

 and four to six inches apart, each group of six to eight 

 bulbs being planted in its own relative color, or in blended 

 varieties. These improve for some years if not disturbed. 

 To secure a succession of blooms in pots, commence early in 

 October with six or eight bulbs in each pot, using rich soil, 

 and planting about an inch deep. Place the pots on a sur- 

 face of ashes, covering them over one inch deep with soil, 

 tan, or dry leaf-mould, until the leaves appear through the 

 soil, when they may be removed to the house.
