The Com of Winter Flowers- 
SOLEIL D’OB r 
G^aipd N arc i ssil s. 
For winter blooming few bulbs are so popular and so 
largely grown, as the Paper White G-randiflora and Double 
Roman Narcissus. Realizing their importance, we have, by 
special contract, secured from France a quantity of bulbs of 
each, which are of extra size and strength, especially 
for pot culture, and the amount and beauty of bloom from 
these fine bulbs will be far greater than from ordinary ones. 
Paper White Crandiflora— An improvement on the com¬ 
mon Paper White, the flower being about twice the size, 
of beautiful star-like form,pearly whiteness and delicious 
fragrance. It is a very early and profuse bloomer, and 
can be had in full beauty at Christmas and New Year’s. 
One of the very best of winter-blooming bulbs. Large 
select bulbs, 10c. each; 3 for 20c.; 12 for 75c. 
Double Roman — This is grown so extensively in 
Palestine and Turkey that it is known as the 
Sacred Narcissus of Constantinople. In Jerusalem it is 
the leading favorite of all flowers. Flowers very double, 
pure white with yellow center and borne in large clusters. 
Its fragrance is superb, and it blooms very early and 
freely either in pots or the open ground. Agrand winter 
bloomer. Large, select bulbs, 10c. each; 3 for 30c.; 12 for 75c. 
1 of each, for 10c.; S of each for 35c. 
They are considered the best of all Narcissus for pot cul¬ 
ture, and by many esteemed the most beautiful. By starting 
the dry bulbs at intervals from September until January, a 
»uccession of flowers can be secured from Christmas until the 
first of May. No trouble to grow. Treat as you would Hya¬ 
cinths. The flowers of this class are-borne in large clusters 
and are exceedingly fragrant, like orange blossoms. 
Grand Soile d’Or— -This has every possible merit, without 
a fault. A medium early bloomer that lasts a full month 
in flower. Large clusters of exceedingly pretty flowers 
of a clear lemon with deep orange cup. Very fragrant. 
Crootvorst —White with lemon cup. Very pretty and of 
good size. No variety possesses a richer fragrance than 
this. 
Cord Canning—Extra fine, of a deep or dark yellow color; the petals being 
a little lighter in shade than the cups. 
Queen of Netherlands— Very early and extra large and fine. Pure 
white ; exquisite fragrance. / 
Bathurst—Fne pale yellow, delicate and beautiful, and contrasts finely 
with other colors. It is in fact so distinct as to be necessary to make 
any collection complete. 
Mewton- Fine yellow with deep orange cup. Extra free bloomer, and 
early. 
PRICE— 7c. each; S for 20c.; the six for 35c. A.ny variety at 65c. per 
dozen. S each of the 6 sorts for $ 1 . 00 . 
Mi xe d Polyaijtljiis Narcisstis. 
While we offer but 6 named sorts of Polyanthus Narcissus, there are 20 to 30 kinds 
grown and offered separately in Holland, all of which are represented in this mixture. 
Those who desire to plant a good many should by all means take a dozen or more mixed 
bulbs. The named sorts offered above are undoubtedly the best sorts grown, yet for 
variety we would recommend this mixture, which is made up especially for us, and is 
exceptionally good. 
Mixed, All Colors and Varletle»-20 to 30 sorts. 3 for 16 c.; 6 for 25o.; 13 for 45c.
