HARDY CYCLAHEN. 



This handsome species of Cyclamen has a large and solid bulb that can be planted in 

 a pot of ordinary soil, and will commence to bloom almost immediately. The flowers 

 which are borne in great profusion, are of monstrous size, and vary '.n color from puie 

 white to pinkish white, and deepest rose and red. The bulbs retain their vitality for 

 years, producing a large number of flowers each succeeding season. In mild localities 

 this Cyclamen is perfectly hardy. Mr William Robinson, in the London Garden, says of 

 this beautiful species : " Nothing can be more agreeable to the lover of hardy plants than 

 endeavoring to naturalize these charming flowers, now rarely seen out of the greenhouse. 

 The best position would be among dwarf shrubs, etc., that would afford slight shelter, 

 on banks or sunny spots in copses, or on the rockery in a sunny, warm situation. There 

 is scarcely a country seat in England in which the hardy Cyclamen could not be natural- 

 ized." I nave a fine stock of this handsome Cyclamen, and am prepared lo offer them at 

 a very reasonable figure. Colors, wliite or pink. State when ordering which color 

 you desire. Good strong bulbs, 20 cents each ; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for SI. 00; SI. 50 per dozen. 



JAPANESE PINK SPIDER LILY. 



The White Spider Lily, which I have offered for several years past, has so pleased all 

 who planted them, that the Japanese Fink variety cannot fail tocreateauothersensation. 

 Moreover, if planted in a warm, light position, they will prove perfectly hardy, with 

 some protection, but in the South will surely thrive freely without any protection 

 whatever. Illustration on one of my colored plates in 1892 showed a spike of the most 

 delicate flowers, varying in colors from pinkish salmon to pink, vermilion and scarlet, 

 the petals being beautifully undulated, and by artificial light sparkling like jewels. 

 Thev bloom generally in the open ground during September, and if planted in pots or 

 vnges and kept moist during growth, will make a most magnificent plant for the house in 

 early Fall. Keep thoroughly moist at all times. Large blooming size bulbs, 20 cents 

 each ; 3 for 50 cents ; 7 for $1.00 ; S1.50 per dozen.

 winter among other plants. They thrive best in a moist situation, and planted

This magnificent bulb, which often attains enormous propor- S 

 tious, produces flowers of the greatest beauty Usually two flower 5 

 stalks of dark purplish color are sent up at the same time, each 9 

 bearing a large umbel composed of a dozen or more enormous lily- B> 

 like flowers of the greatest beauty and fragrance. The petals are H' 

 broad, and pure white, with a deep reddish purple stripe through H 

 the centre. A plant which always creates a sensation when it O 

 blooms, which it does with the greatest freedom. I have a fine stock 9 

 of Crinum Kirky this year, and can offer them lower than they were

•JAPANESE PINK Si'IDEK LILY. 



(Cooperia Drummondi) 

 It is a member of the Amaryl 

 lis family, the bulbs being as 

 large and assolid asamedmm 

 sized onion, and should be 

 planted in the spring, cither 

 in the open ground or in pots 

 (they do as well one way as 

 the other), where they will 

 bloom freely mostof the sum- 

 mer, sending up beautiful 

 lily-like white blossoms on 

 stems ten to fifteen inches 

 high. The foliage is quite 

 long, and of peculiar lavender 

 green color. In the fall the 

 bulbs should be lifted and kept 

 dry over winter, like Gladiolus. 

 It is one of the easiest of all 

 bulbs to grow, absolutely sure 

 to bloom freely, and the beauti- 

 ful, pure, fairy-like blossoms 

 are lovely. Strong bulbs ready 

 for immediate bloom. 15 cents 

 ouch, 1 for 50 cents, S1.00 per 

 dozen. 



W. L. CaSSldy, Gainesville, 

 N. Y.: "My wife wishes me 

 to inform you that the Plants 

 and Bulbs were splendid. 

 The Spotted Callaa have 

 blossomed twice, and the 

 Little Gem Calla is in blos- 

 som now; Gladiolus are su- 

 perb. Many thanks for t be 

 presents you sent hi si 

 spring, was surprised to gi 1 

 so many. Several of my 

 neighbors will purchase of 

 you next yeiir.

CRINUM CAPENSE. r 



Rose, sweet scented, one of the finest Crinums ; hardy, with | 

 slight protection. Producing many flower stalks, 2% to 4 feet high, » 

 and crowded with 10 to 15 blooms. Excellent sort, 30 cents each ; 4 B 

 for SI. 00, postpaid. B 



CRINUM AMERICANUM. § 



In every way this rivals the Crinum Kirky in stateliness and 

 grandure. Like it, it cannot be approached as a pot plant, and j 

 where beauty of flowers are concerned, it is by some preferred, being 

 pure white, waxy-like and fragrant, producing fully as many if not s 

 more flowers. Strong bulbs, 30 cents each, 4 for $1.00, postpaid. ^
