VALENTIN. 1. Soft heliotrope, shaded light violet; inside helio¬ 
trope with blue base; long, large flower on tall stem. A magnificent

WILLIAM COPLAND; syn., SWEET LAVENDER. 1. Rosy 
lilac; not a large flower but of merit because under glass it may 
be brought into flower as easily as the Early Tulips, while the 
color becomes a most beautiful lavender. Height 25 in. 10 bulbs, 
75 cts.; 100 bulbs, $6.50.
