ACAPANTHUS UMBELLATUS, 
THE GREAT AFRICAN LILY. 
(Ready in November.) 
A remarkably beautiful and stately summer and fall 
blooming plant. The glossy green foliage is very at¬ 
tractive; the magnificent bright blue flowers are borne 
in clusters of 20 to 30, and measure fully a foot across. 
The flower stalks frequently attain a height of three feet. 
The flowers open in succession for a long period. For 
pot culture, a strong loamy soil with plenty of manure is 
requisite, and in all other respects the same treatment as 
given to Calla Lilies will do very well. Each, 25 cents. 
ALLIUM. 
These beautiful bulbous plants have grassy foliage 
and the flowers are borne on long spikes in umbels. 
\ery showy, and of easy cultivation. 
Allium Neapolitanum. 
Xcapolitanum, a charming variety for winter 
blooming. The flower stems are about a foot high, 
supporting large clusters of delicate white flowers, which 
keep oerfect many weeks. F'or bouquets these flowers 
are unsurpassed, having a delicate beauty peculiar to 
themselves. They are sure to bloom splendidly in any 
window, and will be greatly admired. Plant six bulbs 
in a h<e inch pot. They begin to grow as soon as 
ALLIUM’S-Continued. 
potted. Planted in the garden they are also charming 
for early spring blooming. Each, 3 cents; per dozen, 
15 cents. 
Grandifloruin, without doubt one of the most 
beautiful varieties for winter blooming in the house and 
for forcing for cut flowers. It is distinguished by its 
early and long continued blooming, from December to 
April, by the immaculate whiteness of its exceptionally 
large flowers, and by the strong habit and richness of its 
foliage. The flowers remain fresh a long time after 
being cut. For purity, general beauty, size and cutting 
purposes this variety is unexcelled. Each, 20 cents; per 
dozen, 75 cents. 
Mollc, one of the most striking of our hardy border 
plants, bearing large umbels of bright yellow flowers, 
lasting in bloom a long time. An old favorite, fine for 
naturalizing in the garden. Height one foot, blooms in 
June. Each, 3 cents; per dozen, 15 cents. 
Rcbelluin, a handsome species with dark crimson 
flowers. Deserves a place in every garden; blooms in 
July. Each, 15 cents; per dozen, $1.50. 
AMARYLLIS 
OR KNIGHT’S STAR LILY. 
A magnificent class of bulbous plants with large, 
bell-shaped, lily-like flowers of the most gorgeous and 
striking colors, ranging from the deepest crimson to pure 
white striped with crimson and scarlet. They throw up 
spikes from eighteen inches to three feet high, bearing 
from two to six enormous flowers averaging six to ten 
inches across of great substance. They should be in 
every collection; with a very small stock of bulbs they 
may be had in flower at almost any season of the year 
by starting in succession. As p«>t plants for the parlor 
during winter, they are probably unsurpassed by any 
other genus. 
Culture. A compost consisting of equal parts of 
good turfy loam, peat, well decayed manure and sand is 
best. Water should be given carefully and not in too 
great quantities. When the foliage begins to decay 
water should be gradually withheld, until it has quite 
died down, when they should be stored away in any dry 
cool place, safe from frost, until the flowering season 
comes again. 
Belladonna Major (Belladonna Lily), these beau¬ 
tiful Lilies bear immense heads of white, exquisitely 
scented flowers, heavily flushed and tipped with rosy 
pink. They bloom late in autumn. Each, 15 cents; 
per dozen, $1.50.
