SCILLA CLUSI 



Scilla Clusi (the Peruvian Hyacinth 

 or Cuban Lily) — A very grand and striking 

 plant for house culture, throws up a strong, bold 

 flower stem, with long lance-shaped leaves, and 

 bearing one enormous pyramidal cluster of rich 

 bright blue star-shaped flowers. It is very easily 

 grown, commences to bloom about mid-winter, 

 and continues a long time. When warm weather 

 comes, plant in open ground, and if taken in 

 before freezing, it will be ready to bloom again 

 next winter. 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., postpaid. 



The New "Arum Aristatum " 



A curious novelty fresh from the Plains of Palestine 



Entirely new and never before offered in this 

 country, but very popular in Europe. Claimed 

 to bloom in a few weeks without soil or water, 

 merely set on a plate in the window, but may be 

 potted and kept dry. Curious and remarkable 

 flowers, somewhat like the Black Calla, but 

 different. Price, 25 cts. each, postpaid. 



JONQUILS 



The Jonquil are lovely low-growing little flowers, and like the 

 hyacinths and crocus, bloom very early in the spring, and are very 

 pretty and attractive. They are bright golden yellow and delight- 

 fully sweet scented. Highly valued for bedding and borders, and 

 for house culture in pots and pans ; several should be planted to- 

 gether for best effect. 



Double Jonquils— Extra fine, deep yellow. 4 cts. each, 3 for 

 12 cts., 35 cts. per doz., $2.75 per 100, postpaid. 



Single Jonquils — Rich yellow, very fragrant. 

 6 for 10 cts., 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 

 100, postpaid. 



Giant Campernelle (Rugulosus) — Twice 

 the size of the others and same beautiful bright 

 golden yellow, deliciously sweet-scented; ex- 

 tra fine for pot culture and bedding out. An 

 early and profuse bloomer. You want it. 

 3 cts. each, 4 for 10 cts., 25 cts. per doz., 

 #1.50 per 100, postpaid.

TRITELIA UNIFLGRA 



TRITELIA UNIFLORA 



Spring 1 Starflower — One of the most charming fairy-like white 

 flowers for winter. White star-like flowers, tipped and faintly 

 striped with blue. Planted several together indoors, they bloom 

 finely for months ; also fine for bedding and edging in open 

 ground, forming a mass of starry blooms from early spring till 

 summer. 3 for 5 cts., 15 cts. per doz., postpaid. 



Blue Tritelia — Exactly like the above except that the flowers 

 are lovely violet-blue, they contrast finely with each other, and 

 should be planted together when convenient. Equally valuable 

 for pots and garden. 3 for 10 cts. , 25 cts. per doz. , postpaid.
