Hardy Bulbs for Winter and Spring Blooming 
1 4 
LILY ofthe VALLEY 
“ Xo flower amid the garden fairer grows 
Than the sweet lily of the lowly vale.” 
One of the most charming and greatly admired 
plants grown. The bulbs or pips can be planted 
in a bed out doors, or they can be potted four to 
six in a four-inch pot, which can be left in a cool 
place for a time, and even if exposed to a sharp 
frost are not injured, but apparently benefited 
thereby, and then with plenty of warmth, light 
and water, they will soon produce beautiful green 
leaves, and sprays of lovely white and exquisitely 
fragrant blossoms. One or more pots may be 
sunk in the garden and left until wanted. It 
requires from three to five weeks for them to 
perfect their flowers if kept very warm and given 
plenty of water. Like those of other bulbs the 
flowers are larger and very much finer when 
raised in the house than in the garden.

ORNITHOGALUM 
A beautiful and showy plant. The flower spikes are 
from eighteen to twenty-four inches high, bearing numer¬ 
ous pearly white flowers with jet-black center, and with a 
perfume distinctly aromatic. The bloom remains perfect 
for many weeks. When grown in the garden they make 
an interesting and pretty sight. The plants are desirable 
for greenhouse or window decoration, and florists arc now 
growing them largely for their value as cut flowers.

SPARAXIS 
These arc small bulbs with flowers of many colors, like 
those of the Ixia, and they require the same treatment. 
They make beautiful winter-blooming plants. Several 
bulbs can be planted in a small pot, or a box in the window 
planted with Ixias and Sparaxis will give a great display 
of bright-colored, beautiful flowers. doz. 100

OXALIS 
An interesting class of small bulbs, desirable for winter-flowering in pots, 
producing an abundance of bloom. Plant from three to five bulbs in a pot. 
After flowering, knock them out of the pots, separate and 
plant in fresh soil, keeping them in a dry place. About 
August or September they will commence growing again. 
I hen bring them to the light and air, and commence watering. 
In this way the bulbs will keep sound all summer, and will 
increase rapidly. The leaves resemble in form the 
clover leaf. As the leaves are on long slender stalks, 
and consequently droop, the Oxalis can be readily 
adapted to hanging baskets and other similar pur¬ 
poses. The following are the best of the winter¬ 
flowering varieties, and may be grown either in pots 
or hanging baskets. 
Oxalis, Bermuda Buttercup. This improved 
variety produces bright yellow flowers in greater 
profusion and size than any other of the species.
