Freesia Refracta Alba. 



FREESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape 

 bulbs, possessing a peculiar grace of form, and 

 its fragrance is most delightful, one pot of five 

 or six bulbs being sufficient to perfume a whole 

 house. As cut flowers, they are extremely valu- 

 able; the unexpanded blooms, opening in water, 

 fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and 

 their endurance is really remarkable. 



Refracta Alba. Pure white. One of the most 

 popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, 

 flowering in the winter in the conservatory or 

 window garden. They force very easily, and 

 can be had in bloom by Christmas if started 

 in pots in the month of September. Plant half 

 a dozen bulbs in a 4-inch pot, in good rich 

 soil, water well, and keep them at a tempera- 

 ture of 60 degrees. 



Mammoth Bulbs. Pure white. Each, 5 cts.; doz., 30 cts.; too, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00 

 First Size Bulbs. Each, 3 cts.; doz., 20 cts.; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $10.00. 

 Second Size Bulbs. Doz., 15 cts.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $8.00. 



Purity. A magnificent, snowy white of very large size and great length of stem. A 

 truss bearing from eight to ten buds, of which six arc often open at one time. 

 Each, " cts.; doz., 60 cts.; per 100, $4.50. 



Snow White. A distinct type producing large sprays of purest snow white flowers of 

 immense size and deliciously fragrant; it is very free blooming and of great value 

 for forcing for cut flowers. Doz., 50 cts.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $17.50. 



GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI 



Early flowering and fine for pot culture. They will last in wafer for weeks after 

 being cut, and as the flowers are smaller than autumn-flowering sorts they make up 

 well for bouquets. They are hardier than most of the Gladioli, but will not stand 

 severe winters without covering. 



Alba (The Bride). White, very beautiful. Two for 5 cts.; doz., 25 cts.; 100, $1.50. 

 Colvillei. Purple striped. Each, 5 cts.; doz., 35 cts.; too, $2.00. 



Peach Blossom. Lovely new variety; good winter forcer; delicate rosy blush- 

 blotched rose and cream. Doz., 50 cts.; 100, $3.50. 



GRAPE, MUSK AND FEATHER HYACINTHS 



Adapted for permanent beds and edgings and partly shaded situations; they should 

 be massed together to produce effect. Perfectly hardy. Very satisfactory when six 

 or eight are grown in a pot and treated as other Hyacinths' for winter blooming. 



GRAPE HYACINTHS 



Flower spikes about 6 inches high, with small round bells, resembling a bunch of 

 grapes. 



Blue. Two for 5 cts.; 15 cts. per doz.; 80 cts. per 100. 

 White. 5 cts. each; 20 cts. per doz.; $1.00 per 100.

FEATHER HYACINTHS 



Feathery plume-like spikes, 9 to 12 inches high. Excellent for the garden. Each, 

 5 cts.; doz., 30 cts.; 100, $1.50.
