CALOCHORTUS, 



(MARIPOSA LILY, or BUTTERFLY TULIP.) 



Ready in September. 



Very handsome bulbous plants from California. They are remarkable for the brilliancy and variety of their 

 coloring, and their gracefulness of habit. They grow freely in light, sandy loam; though hardy, they should be 

 protected during winter with litter. They may also be successfully 

 grown in frames and in pots. 



If ordered by mail, add 5 cents per dozen for postage.

CYCLAMEN. 



Most of them ready in November. 



When well grown, it is difficult to find a more useful 

 plant than this for greenhouse, room and window decora- 

 tions. The various species pi'oduce flowers varying from 

 deep red to pure white, and of much elegance of form in 

 flower and plant. The C. giganteum is an improved strain 

 of the old C. Persicum, having much larger and more bril- 

 liantly colored flowers, and producing them more abun- 

 dantly. We offer seed of our superb strain of these at the 

 end of this Catalogue. Each Per doz.
