LACHENALIA. 
This is an entirely new Bulb and much unlike anything 
else in cultivation. They are grown mainly for winter 
blooming in pots, for which purpose they are admirable. 
Their great oddity, novelty ana beauty makes them a most 
desirable plant for winter blooming. They require exactly 
the same treatment as Hyacinths. The flowers are borne In 
lieautiful spikes, and they remain in bloom for about two 
months, which is a most desirable feature in any plant. The 
colors are a curious and odd blending of yellow, scarlet and 
shades of olive green, green shading to yellow, etc. The only 
difference in the varieties is that in one yellow will predomi- 
nate, scarlet in another and green in another. The stems and 
leaves are also very beautiful, being spotted with black and 
reddish brown. Try them; they are sure to succeed and 
please you.

ARUMS. 
The two varieties of Arum here offered are both gener- 
ally sold as “Black Callas.” The only true Black Calla we 
offer among novelties, but wish to say that these two sorts 
jiossess great merits as flowering Bulbs, either for pot or gar- 
den culture and should be generally cultivated. 
Crinitum— This plant 1s much like the Calla Lily, except its 
leaves are beautifully divided, and its flowers which are 
of enormous size— a foot in length and nearly as broad- 
are of a deep black color. It is sure to bloom in mid- 
winter and will create quite a sensation. It is a flower or 
striking oddity and beauty; 30 cts. each. 
Dracunculus — Stem tall and spotted like an adder. Leaves 
large and handsome. Flower exactly like a Calla, a foot 
in length and of a reddish black color, curious and beau- 
tifnl. 30 cts. each.
