GENERAL COLLECTION OF PLANTS. 
3 ' 
three weeks. The bulbs are so large and have so much vitality that they can be kept 
perfectly dry all winter, and be planted at any time when 
the flowers are desired. The bulbs are hardy and 
bloom well in the open ground, but their greatest value 
is for winter blooming. After blooming during winter 
they should be planted in the open ground as early as 
possible in the spring. We regret we cannot sell them 
cheaper, but their large size makes the cost of mailing 
them very great. Price of extra large bulbs, by mail, 
postpaid 25 cents each. 
NARCISSUS. 
Hoop Petticoat, or Medusa’s Trumpet Narcis- 
sus. All yellow varieties. 
Bulbocodium. The “Large Yellow Hoop Petticoat.” 
A bold and shapely flower, of a nice golden yellow color. 
It is a gem for pot culture and edgings, and bears from 
six to twelve flowers to each bulb. 15 cents each. 
Double Roman. The new double Polyanthus or 
Roman Narcissus is a great beauty, and particularly 
well adapted to winter blooming. Color white, with yel- 
low center ; fragrance delicious. 5 cents each. 
Paper White. The beautiful pure white sort is sev- 
eral weeks earlier than the ordinary Polyanthus. It is one of the few bulbs which will 
bloom as early as Christmas. 5 cents each. 
Single Jonquil. Rich yellow ; perianth deeply lobed, very fragrant. 5 cents each. 
Double Jonquil. Flowers full, double and of a golden yellow color ; fragrant. 5 c. 
Poeticus. The “ Pheasant’s eye” or “ Poet’s Narcissus.” Pure white flowers, with 
orange cup, edged with crimson. Splendid cut-flower. 5 cents each. 
MIXED CROCUS. 
All One Cent Each. 
Mixed White, Mixed All Colors, 
Mixed Striped. 
SNOWDROPS. 
The flower is beautiful, and is more welcome by its blooming so early in spring. 
They should be planted in beds, in the border, or in clumps in the open lawn, and will 
endure any amount of hard treatment; still, no 
flower better repays care and attention. Plant 
the bulbs in September or October — the earlier 
the better — to enable them to become well estab- 
lished before freezing weather. Set about two or 
three inches deep, and one inch apart, in clumps 
or triple rows; if planted singly they are not 
conspicuous. The bulbs should not be kept long 
out of the ground, and should not be disturbed 
oftener than once in two or three years. 
Double. 5 cents each. 
Single. 3 cents each. 
LILIES. 
Liilium Harrisii. (The Bermuda or Easter 
Lily.) The flowers are large, trumpet-shaped, 
pure waxy white, gracefully formed and delight- 
fully fragrant. The texture of the flower is strong, 
and each bloom will last from ten days to two 
weeks. It is a perfectly hardy, easy of culture, 
and one of the finest plants for the garden, border 
or cemetery decoration. A bulb once planted re- 
quires but very little attention and will last for 
years. For out-door planting it is already recog- 
nized as a very desirable acquisition, but its para- 
mount importance lies in its value as a winter 
blooming plant for cut-flowers, conservatory or 
parlor decoration. It can be forced into bloom at 
any desired time, and the freedom with which 
the flowers are produced is truly remarkable.
