SPARAXIS. 



ORNITHOGALUM Arablcum (Star of Bethlehem) A 



beautiful variety, throwing up a tall 



spike bearing numerous large, milk-white, star-shaped flowers, with a 

 black center, and having a distinct, aromatic perfume. They are 

 decidedly pretty and interesting when grown in the garden, but are 

 more largely grown for greenhouse and window decorations, being of 

 the easiest culture. 5 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $1.50 per 100.

 ' flowers, easily grown in pots for winter 

 blooming, or in coldframes for spring. Eight roots may be potted in 

 a 6-inch bulb-pan; they should be covered one inch. The colors in- 

 clude shades of white, yellow, crimson and purple, some being almost 

 black.

 on long, graceful spikes; the colors are of the 

 most telling combinations and of the brightest shades. They are 

 tigered, blotched, spotted, streaked and flushed in the most diverse 

 and pleasing manner. The bulbs are not hardy, but do exceptionally 

 well when grown in the conservatory or house in pots or in coldframes, 

 and flower during the winter and spring months.

 T. tricolorum. 10 cts. each, |i per doz., $7.50 per 100. 



TRTTELEIA minora (Spring Star Flower). A perfect little 

 gem for pot culture. It flowers in very early 

 spring. Its star-shaped flowers, of a delicate, milky white, suffused 

 with blue, emit the perfume of the primrose. 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts, 

 per 100, $6 per 1,000. 



Banunculus in variety 



I^COJ'J^gg (Amaryllidaceae). These popular South African 

 ^— bulbous plants are among the most charming and 

 most useful of all early winter-flowering plants. Coming into bloom, 

 as they do, at a time when bulbous flowers of real choiceness are 

 scarce (October and November), we find that Nerines amply repay 

 the little care and attention which they require. Same cultural direc- 

 tions as amaryllis. 



There is an ever-increasing demand for these exquisitely beautiful 

 flowering bulbs. Established in pots in an ordinary greenhouse with 

 a temperature ranging from 55 to 60 degrees, they produce annually 

 th^ir handsome umbels of blooms on scapes varying from 12 to 24 

 inches long. The best time for repotting is during August, using a 

 good sandy loam with a little leaf-mold and well-decayed cow manure; 

 encouraging a free foliage growth during winter, but care should be 

 exercised to reduce the watering as soon as foliage commences to turn 

 yellow, eventually keeping the bulbs quite dry till they show signs of 

 new growth.

per doz., $50 per 100.
