From a superb collection of upright and drooping-floivered varieties. 
This Gorgeous Exotic is as easily grown and cared for as many of the common 
flowers. They will bloom in six weeks from time dry bulb is planted. The flow¬ 
ers will last in water , when cut , over two weeks in perfect condition. They are the 
most magnificent table decorations we have in summer. Keep the bulbs in pots in 
the house, or on the veranda, in boxes or little frames outside, and you can cut the 
flowers all summer. Their green leaves are surmounted with a cluster of lovely 
trumpet-shaped flowers. The coloring - is exquisite; the groundwork of many is 
pure white, with throats of blue, scarlet, rose, or crimson; or the tubes are of 
bright color with white throat. The bulbs should be started in a warm place— 
greenhouse, hotbed, or sunny window. They will bloom till late in summer, when 
they should l>e dried off, letting the leaves die ; the pots can b i kept over winter in 
a cellar free from frost. Price, splendid mixtures, strong bulbs ; 20 cts- each, 6 for 
$1.00. Dozen, $1.75. By mail, postpaid.
