MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL TARK, NEW YORK. 



£igridias» (Shell Flowers.) ^ ,^ Jt 



These are extremely beautiful and ehould be in every g:arden. 

 Planted in theopen ground in May, they commence blooming early in July, 

 and produce an abundance of gorgeous flowers until October. Late in 

 autumn the bulbs should be lifted, dried, and stored in the cellar, like 

 gladioli. They are one of the easiest plants in the world to cultivate, and 

 always sure to bloom abundantly. 



Notice.— My Tigridia bulbs are all home-grown, and are altogether 

 superior and larger than the imported bulbs usually sold, which are soft, 

 small, and very unsatisfactory. -I have refrained from offering them at all 

 until I could offer good, large sound bulbs of my own growing. 



Tigridias are a very satisfactory plant- Bulbs are easily kept in a dry, 

 warm place.

fjem) Giant Flo<wering Hybrid Tigridias* 



Mammotli Bulbs. 



These American hybrid seedling Tigridias are the finest ever offer- 

 ed. They are raised from only the largest and finest named sorts, and 

 include .shades of color and distinct markings never found among the 

 named sorts. The flowers are very large and the plant is a rampant 

 grower, and profuse bloomer^

 turist. Dr. Van Fleet, of the Rural New Yorker., who has raised many 

 of the best novelties offered by the seedsmen to-day.
