FAUST'S SUMMER-FLOWERING BULBS.

SOME REAL TREASURES. 



The Japanese Pink Spider Lily (Nerine 

 Japonica). Our native white Spider Lily, 

 Pancratium Carribceum, pleased every one so 

 well that the Japanese Pink and Salmon varie- 

 ties cannot fail to create another sensation. 

 Moreover, if planted in a warm, light posi- 

 tion, they will prove perfectly hardy, with 

 some protection ; in the Southern States they 

 would surely thrive freely and increase rapidly 

 in the open air, without any protection what- 

 ever, blooming at the proper time. 



As shown in our illustration, a clump of 

 bulbs produces a large number of spikes of the 

 most delicate flowers, varying in their colors 

 from pinkish salmon to 

 pink, vermilion and scar- ^^^^ 

 let, the petals being beau- ^/V/;^////^/ 

 tifully undulated, and by I 

 artificial light sparkling 

 like jewels ; an ornament, ^ 

 indeed, for the finest parlor. 5^ j

 order this bulb if no other, 

 as it is sure to delight you.

 its growth, the bulb rests 

 and then the flowers ap-/ 

 pear. Price, only 30 cts,;« i?
