MlLLfl 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 pistil is curiously carved, and usually covered with 
honeydew. Th e fragrance is delightful. Place 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 ELEGAHS (Coral Drops). 
While this is nothing like Milla Biflora in appearance, 
we are glad to say that it is of equal value. It will 
bloom shortly after being planted in 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 o£ 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 corat scarlet, with white 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 (Golden Shell). The cup is golden yellow, with fine black dctg in 
ii m ■ i i the petals. The three colors contrast most beau¬ 
tifully together. A few sprays of each, when placed together, form a cluster heretofore unseen and un¬ 
attainable in the way of flowering bul'bs. A subtle fragrance pervades the flower. 5c. each, 3 for I0p., 
Ktfor 25c., $2.10 ner 100 Bulba
