ILLUSTRATED DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 
Jonquils—Preity varieties of the Narcissus, having 
a very agreeable fragrance ; adapted to either 
pots or out-door culture. The bulbs being 
small, six or eight may be put in a six-inch pot 
Lilium (Lily). 
The Liliums are entirely hardy, and with a few 
exceptions quite fragrant and most of the 
varieties are exceedingly beautiful.

pink.

Lilies ; foliage slender and flowers brilliant 
scarlet. This is a little beauty. 
UMBELLATUM— Vivid orange. 
Lily of the Valley—The Lily of the Valley is as 
hardy as any plant can possibly be, and when 
planted in the open ground will increase pretty 
rapidly, For the house we have what are called 
“ pips,” young roots with flowering stems, that 
will bloom in a few weeks after planting, and 
will flower well in baskets of damp moss, or 
potted. Pips for Winter flowering in the 
house, we can send out in December, as they 
will not suffer injury from frost. For the gar¬ 
den we can ship either in the Spring or Autumn. 
Narcissus—Garden Varieties. 
Admirably adapted for garden decoration in 
early Spring. They are easily cultivated ; 
hardy. Very showy and fragrant. 
SINGLE VARIETIES. 
BILFLORDS—White, with yellow cup. 
NANAS MAJOR. 
POETICUS—White, with red cup. 
TRILOBUS. 
DOUBLE VARIETIES. 
ALBA PLENO ODORATA—White, fragrant. 
INCOMPARABLE —Yellow and Orange. 
ORANGE PHCENIX—Orange and Lemon. 
VAN SION (Double Daffodil)—Yellow. 
Polyanthus Narcissus. 
Beautiful early Spring flowers, produced in 
large clusters of white and yellow. Quite 
fragrant, making them very valuable as 
parlor or conservatory ornaments. 
Tulips. 
Owing to the late Spring frosts, bedding plants cannot safely be planted before the early Spring flow¬ 
ering bulbs are through blooming. Without these bulbs, for one or two months of beautiful 
Spring weather, our gardens would present a bare appearance. We know of nothing that for the 
amount of money invested will give a more gorgeous show during early Spring, and there is noth¬ 
ing more easily grown than the Tulip. They thrive well in almost any soil. Should be planted 
during October and November.
