Hyaciqthlis Gaadicaqs. 
A species of Hyacinth which blooms during August and 
September, grows three to five feet; high, with spikes of pure 
white flowers two feet in length. The bulbs are large, round 
and solid, and throw up large flower stems which aire 
gigantic spikes of thimble-shaped white blossoms. Planted 
in the spring they bloom in August, September and October, 
strong bulbs producing two, three and even four flower 
stems. A bed of a dozen or more bulbs produces a gyand 
effect. A few planted in the center of a bed of Verbenas, 
Petunias, or other flowers make a beautiful display. They 
contrast elegantly with Gladiolus. Planted anywhere, 
singly or in clumps, they are magnificent. For a cejnetery 
nothing can be more beautiful or appropriate, and nothing, 
thrives better in any situation. Strong bulbs sure to bloom, 
10c. each; 3 for 25c.; 12 for 75e. 
This grand new Spider Lily has the advantage of being 
perfectly hardy, and when left undisturbed a few years forms 
large, imposing clumps that are a mass of clustered heads of 
pure white, fragrant flowers. The flowers have a peculiar 
and striking beauty which must be seen to be appreciated. 
The flowers are borne in large clusters, are of waxy white¬ 
ness and unsurpassed fragrance. More beautiful than most 
of the high-priced Lilies. An extra choice garden flower 
which we cannot too strongly recommend. Also a fine pot 
plant. Pine flowering bulbs, 20c. each; 3 for 50e, 
TigPidLias. 
One of the most showy of all summer bulbs, and blooms 
from midsummer until frost, growing three feet high, with 
large wide-open triangular blooms, four to six inches across. 
The colors'and markings are very brilliant and peculiarly 
odd and attractive, and clumps of them in the border have a 
most gorgeous effect. It is difficult to name a flower of such 
unique and exquisite beauty as a Tigridia, the superb spot¬ 
ting being so self-like and handsome. They are easily grown 
and always more than satisfactory. One cannot without 
seeing them realize how truly beautiful they are. lhe 
named sorts we offer are truly immense, some of them be¬ 
ing quite new.
