F. E. MCALLISTER'S BULB CATALOGUE. 
SCILLAS. 
Most charming and desirable Spring flowering bulbs. The flowers resemble the Hyacinth, but are much 
smaller; their colors are more intense, and they come into flower much earlier. As an edging, or for filling small 
beds, if planted sufficiently thick, the effect is matchless. Treat in the same 
manner as Hyacinths for out-door culture, or for pots in the window garden. 
If ordered by mail, add 5 cts. per dozen for postage.

SPARAAIS. 
They were formerly included in the genus Txia, and 
bear a close resemblance to them; the main points of dif- 
ference being that the Sparaxis are of more compact habit 
of growth, the flowers more bold, and somewhat larger, 
and the flower spikes are not more than half as high; rarely 
desirable for the window garden. 
If ordered by mail, add 5 cts per dozen for postage.
