LYCORIS squamigera. 



or Amaryllis Halli (The Magic 

 I,ilv of J.ipaTi). A perfectly hardy 

 Amaryllis producing boautiful pink flowi-rs. Produces in early spring 

 attractive greeTi foliage which i^idws until July when it ripens off and 

 disappears, and any one not familiar with its habits would think tlie 

 bulb had died, but about a month later, as if by magic, the flower-stalks 

 spring from the ground to a heiglit of 2 or 3 feet, developing an umbel 

 of large and beautiful lily-shaped flowers 3 to 4 inches across and from 

 eight to twelve in number, of a delicate lilac-pink, shaded with clear 

 blue. As the bulb is iierfectly hardy without anv jjrotection, it can be 

 planted either in the fall or spring, but we consider the spring the best 

 time as the bulbs will have splendid chance to get established before 

 flowering time. Cover the crowns about 4 inches. Very useful for the 

 hardy border or among shrubbery. Strong-flowering bulbs, 35 cts. each, 

 3 for Ji, S3., so per doz , ?25 per 100. 



(Spider Lily). This grand Spider Lily 

 forms large imposing chimps, that are a 

 mass of clustered heads of pure white, fragrant flowers. The flowers 

 have a peculiar and striking beauty, which must be seen to be appre- 

 ciated The flowers are borne in large clusters, are of waxy whiteness 

 and unsurpassed fragrance. Fine flowering bulbs, 15c. ea., $1.50 per doz. 



We are introducing a 

 strain of California- 

 grown Tigridias, the bulbs of which are very large, solid and vigorous. 

 These fine bulbs keep perfectly well over winter under ordinary con- 

 ditions, whereas smaller ones dry out an<l decay. They also make a re- 

 markably strong and vigorous growth, blooming early and with remarkable profusion.

tricolorum. Scarlet tulje, yellow center, tipped black. The 

 compost in which Tropa.'olunis thrive best is a light rich loam,

 be allowed to fall dow-n from a pot or basket with excellent effect, to form a most attractive 

 tracery of leafage dotted with dazzling flowers. The sunniest part of the greenhouse should 

 be devoted to T. Iricolorum, and in potting special care must be taken to secure ample 

 drainage. 10 cts. each, Ji per doz.
