MISS MARY E. MARTIN, IfLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
igridias. (Shell Flowers.) 
(Thisis a single flower of Z. Rosea.) 
This is the best of all the Zephyranthes. The 
flowers are large, it blooms easily, and very soon 
after being planted outside, and throws up a suc¬ 
cession of flower spikes throughout the summer. 
The flowers are large and open gracefully, of a 
clear, rosy pink, a delightful color. The bulbs are as 
easily kept as potatoes. Dig in October and storein 
a dry, warm cellar. Bulbs, 5c. each; 3 for 12c.; 6 for 
20c ; 35c, dozen. 
Zephyranthes Andersoni. Orange-yellow flowers. 
5c. each; 3 for 10c.; 12 for 30c. 
Zephyranthes Candida. Lovely white flowers, 
freely borne. 3c. each; 6 for 15c.; 12 for 25c. 
1 Bulb each of the 3 kinds for 10c. 
These are extremely beautiful and should be in every garden, 
’lanted in the open ground in May, they commence blooming early in July 
tnd produce an abundance of gorgeous flowers until October. Late in 
lutumn the bulbs should be lifted, dried, and stored in the cellar, like 
dadioli. They are one of the easiest plants in the world to cultivate and 
dways sure to bloom abundantly. 
Notice. —My Tigridia bulbs are all home-grown, and are altogether 
uperiorand larger than the imported bulbs usually sold, which are soft, 
mall, and very unsatisfactory. I have refrained from offering them at all 
ntil I could offer good, large sound bulbs of my own growing. 
Tigridias are a very satisfactory plant- Bulbs are easily kept in a dry 
rarm place. J

\Jew Giant Flowering Hybrid Tigridias . 
Mammoth Bulbs. 
These American hybrid seedling Tigridias are the finest-ever offer- 
1. They are raised from only the largest and finest named sorts, and 
elude shades of color and distinct markings never found among the 
imed sorts. The flowers are very large and the plant is a rampant 
rower, and profuse bloomer. 
These hybrids were raised by that eminent American horticul- 
irist, Dr. Van Fleet, of the Rural New Yorker , who has raised many 
: the best novelties offered by the seedsmen to-day
