 inches wide. They are 

 desirable as a single

 massive beds. The best 

 results are obtained by 

 planting bulbs in rich 

 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 verj^ 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.
