' PfJJ§ nyemalis (Winter Acotiae). The Winter Aconite is the very 



^— ^— " firstling " of the year, covering tlie ground with gilt spangles 

 ■ \<j bleakest day - of February. .Any soil or situation will suit this flower, and it 

 uld be planted in large patches within view from the windows. 15 cts. per doz., 

 per 100, 57-5° per 1,000. 



HRElVlURUS Majestic, tuberous-rooted plants. A noble ornament in flower 

 ' garden or on the lawn. The flowers are very fragrant and 

 closely arranged on stately spikes 6 to 10 feet high, forming a magnificent column of 

 bloom during June and July. Give a sunny position, sheltered from gales; plant the 

 tubers in the fall, while dormant, and set about 8 inches deep. Although hardy, it 

 will be safer in northern states to protect with 4 to 6 inches of leaves, straw, manure 

 or similar covering to prevent the young growth, which starts very early, from being 

 tipped from late freezes. Strong, flowering roots, that is, roots that will flower the 

 first season. Each Doz,

ERYTHRONIUM (Giant Dog's-tooth Violet). Beautiful plants, perfectly 



hardy; the foliage is charmingly variegated, and a 



mass of fifteen or twenty plants is a pretty sight even when not in flower ; but when 

 the graceful flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in 

 rather moist, partially shady positions, and do very nicely when grown in pots for 

 winter blooming.

 marked, many being checkered and splashed white and purple, cream and maroon, 

 etc. Perfectly hardy and splendid for naturalizing, especially in semi-shaded places.

J'JsJQ AR'VILLE A Delavayi (Hardy Gloxinia). This comparatively new 

 — ^— — perennial from northern China has been found hardy in 

 uniend, however, a liberal mulching where left out during winter. The tubers may be lifted in autumn and 



the United States. We rec 



stored in the same manner as Dahlias and replanted in spring. The 

 foliage resembles that of the Acanthus, while the blossoms appear like 

 clusters of pink (iloxinias. It is extremely decorative and quite easily 

 grown. Strong roots, 10 cts. each, f 1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 



LEUCOJUTVl. Produces flowers like monster snowdrops ; very 

 graceful in growth, having the delicate fragrance 

 of the violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, with white blos- 

 soms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline and prized for bou- 

 quets. They should be grown in quantities in the borders or in spots 

 on the edges of shrubbery, where they are beautifully effective, and 

 when established produce enormous quantities of flowers.
