7ephyra.nthes Rosea.* j8 cS* ^ 



{TJusisasiiigle flower of Z. Rosea.) 

 This is the best of all the Zephyranthes. The 

 flowers are large, it blooms easily, and very soon 

 after being planted outside, a.nd throws up V suc- 

 cession of flower spikes throughout the summer. 

 The flowers are large and open gracefully, of a 

 clear, rosy pink, a delightful color. The bulbs are as 

 easily kept as potatoes. Dig in October and store in 

 a dry, warm cellar. Bulbs, 5c. each; 3 for I2c.; 6 for 

 20c ; 35c, dozen.

Zephyranthes Candida. Lovely white flowers, 

 fr 'ely borne. 3c. each; 6 for 15c.; 12 for 25c. 



1 Bulb each of the 3 kinds for 10c. 



every garden 

 early in July 



Planted in theopen ground in May, they commence bloomin 

 and produce an abundance of gorgeous flowers until October. Late in 

 autumn the bulbs should be lifted, dried, and stored in the cellar, like 

 gladioli. They are one of the easiest plants in the world to cultivate, and 

 always sure to bloom abundantly. 



Notice.— My Tigridia bulbs are all Lome-grown, and are altogether 

 superior and larger than the imported bulbs usually sold, which are soft, 

 small, and very unsatisfactory. I have refrained from offering them at all 

 until I could offer good, large sound bulbs of mv own growing. 



Tigridias are a very satisfactory plant. Bulbs are easily kept in a dry, 

 warm place.
