flowering plants, and universally sought for its 

 neat and chaste outline and delicate odor. The 

 growth is close, dwarf and compact, and the 

 plant is hardy and permanent. It is now 

 a most popular plant for forcing, which is 

 easily done by planting the pips in pots, from 

 6 to 12 in each, watering freely, keeping in a 

 cold cellar, and starting from week to week, to 

 keep up a succession. They generally flower in 

 three or four weeks after planting. They require 

 a considerable amount of heat to start them. 

 They may also be planted in moss fiber in vases. 

 Clumps. Fine large clumps, with many flower- 

 ing pips on each. Fine for planting outside in 

 shaded positions, and for naturalizing by the 

 side of streams or wood walks. 30 cts. each, 

 I3 per dozen 

 Pips for forcing. 50 cts. per bundle of 25. $1.75
