BULL A BIFLORA (Frost Work). 
The flowers have the oddest and most beautiful appear¬ 
ance imaginable. They appear like the most beautiful 
wax work, only enlivened by a living sparkle. The 
centre is lovely, the anthers are a delicate lemon yellow; 
the pislil is curiously carved, and usually covered with 
honeydew. The fragrance is delightful, Tlace a stalk in 
water and the flowers will all open. We have seen 
eleven stalks shoot up successively from one bulb. The 
bulbs will flower profusely with great certainty 5c 
each, 3 for IOc., 10 for 25c., $2.10 per 100. 
BESSERA ELEGANS (Coral Drops). 
While this is »othing like Milla Biflora in appearance, 
we are glad to say that it is of equal value. It will 
bloom shortly after being planted iu the open ground, 
and will keep on blooming until frost. We have fre¬ 
quently had seven successive flower spikes from one 
bulb in a season— a thing not equalled by any other 
flowering bulb we know of In point of beauty, it is 
exquisite. The flower stems are from one to two feet 
high, supporting a dozen or more bell-shaped flowers 
of a bright coral scarlet, with while cups and dark blue 
anthers. The foliage is thin and rush-like, 10 to 12 
inches long. Like the Milla, the blooms will last many 
days when cut. 5c. each, 3 for IOc., 10 for 25c. 
$2.10 per 100 Bulbs. 
BESSERA ELEGANS (Coral Drops). 
CYCLOBOTHRA FLAVA (Gol den Shell). The cup is golden yellow, with fine black dots in 
the petals. The three colors contrast most beau 
timlly together. A few sprays of each, when placed together, form a cluster heretofore unseen and un 
attamable in the way of flowering buhbs. A subtle fragrance pervades the flower. 5c. each, 3 for IOc.. 
10 lor 25c., $2.10 Der 100 Bulbs.
