Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 



FOR INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SUMMER FLOWERING 



AMARYLLIS 



In order to obtain fine specimens of Amaryllis, the following 

 method should be followed : On receipt of the bulbs, they should be 

 placed where they will be always slightly moist and warm — under 

 the benches of a greenhouse, for example. Do not pot up the bulbs 

 before the flower-buds appear ; when first potted give very little 

 water, and promote growth by giving moderate bottom heat ; in- 

 crease the supply of water as the plants progress.

A Remarkable New Carolina Mountain Plant 

 STENANTHIUM ROBUSTUM 



(Mountain Feather Fleece) 



This remarkable hardy perennial is, without doubt, one of our 

 best new introductions, and may be classed with the showiest of all 

 herbaceous plants. As the buds begin to unfold in early August 

 they are quite upright, and of a light green tinge, gradually becom- 

 ing whiter, until at last they burst forth into a veritable snowbank 

 of drooping, fleecy bloom of purest white, the panicles often 2 to 3 

 feet long. In September the flowers, as they ripen, turn to shades 

 of pink and puiple. It is a vigorous perennial, attaining a height of 



from 5 to 8 feet when well 

 established, and is abso- 

 lutely hardy throughout 

 the United States and 

 Canada. The Mountain 

 Feather Fleece is of easy 

 cultivation, and, if given 

 plenty of food, makes a 

 wonderful show equaled 

 by few plants of any de- 

 scription. Give rich soil 

 and ordinary border loca- 

 tion. The illustration 

 gives some idea of the 

 wonderful effect of Ste- 

 nanthium when in full 

 bloom, but inadequately 

 conveys the beauty of the 

 delicate, feathered, droop- 

 ing flowers. When known, 

 it will be planted by 

 thousands. Size 3, strong 

 plants, $1.25 for 10, Jioper 

 100; Size 2, heavierplants,
