BULBS AND TUBERS FOR STOVE AND 
GREENHOUSE CULTURE 
^^^^ANY OF our most showy and brilliant flowering plants have bulbous or tuberous roots which, with but a 
I I minimum of care, are very free of bloom. Our Amaryllids will be found worthy of especial attention ; we make 
LA^^J a specialty of this superb genus, and are headquarters for it. Some of the species are peculiarly adapted to house 
f^^^iS!^! culture, thriving exceedingly well in an ordinary window, and presenting their brilliant flowers in Winter and 
* ^ early Spring. We have many rare species, and grow them to great perfection at our Tropical Nurseries In 
Trinidad. The beautiful new hybrids are line for early forcing.
