abundantly apron-like 
leaves 3 feet long by 12 
inches wide. They are 
desirable as a single

soil and giving an abun- 
dance of water. In the 
fall the bulbs should be

without exception, the most abundant bloomers 
ever introduced. The double flowers are most 
beautiful, varying through many beautiful shades 
of reds, white, pinks, variegated, etc.; they are of 
perfect form and large size, and what is of special 
value, the calyx never bursts. They bloom in 4 
months from the time of sowing the seed and con- 
tinue to flower until checked by frost. The plants 
are of very strong habit, branching directly above 
the ground ; vigorous stems which are self-support- 
ing. They embrace a fine range of brilliant colors, 
are very free flowering, and are certainly a novelty 
of unusual merit. Pkt., 10 cts.
