CHINESE SACRED LILY 
A variety of Polyanthus Narcissus introduced by the Chinese. 
The flowers are pure silvery white, with golden yellow cups, 
chaste and graceful in appearance and of exquisite fragrance. 
A dozen bulbs started at intervals in shallow bowls of water. 
three or four bulbs in each dish, with just enough small pebbles 
or stones to prevent them from toppling over, will give a suc¬ 
cession of flowers throughout the winter. 
Extra large size bulbs, by mail postpaid, each 12 cents; 
per dozen, $1.35. 
ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM 
This species is largely raised in Southern France for its hand¬ 
some white flowers produced in clusters; and is extensively 
grown by florists. Six or eight bulbs may be planted in a five- 
inch pot; they will develop in a low or moderate temperature. 
Two for 5 cents; dozen 20 cents ; $1.00 per 100, postpaid. 
GARDEN ANEMONE 
The Garden Anemones are very beautiful flowers. Some 
arc double, some are single, the single varieties being the most 
brilliant. These Anemonies have not been grown generally at 
the north because somewhat tender, and are not advised except 
for those gardens which have some shelter, either from buildings 
or evergreen trees or closely planted shrubs, where on a well- 
drained border the bulbs may be planted in autumn and given 
the protection of a thick coating of stable litter or leaves or 
evergreen boughs. The flowers are so beautiful that they will 
give the highest satisfaction when they come into bloom in the 
spring. Plant them five inches apart and cover three inches 
deep. The bulbs can also be potted in the fall and kept cool 
and be brought into bloom in the window or the greenhouse.

CALLA LILY 
Richardia Africana 
The well-known Egyptian Lily, or Lily of the Nile, with 
large white flowers and broad foliage. An excellent plant for 
aquariums. In the spring they may be planted in the garden, 
and left until September, when they may be taken up, potted, 
and removed to the house or conservatory, and will bloom in 
winter and spring. 
Our Calla roots arc grown for us in California, where the 
Calla is perfectly at home and grows magnificently. Large 
flowering tubers, each, 20 cents; per dozen, £?.oo.

COLCHICUM 
THE AUTUMN-FLOWERING CROCUS 
The Colchicum, Autumn Crocus, is a curious and interesting 
flower. The leaves appear in the spring, and the flowers in 
the autumn. The bulbs are perfectly hardy. Each bulb gives 
quite a cluster of flowers, generally six or eight, and so per¬ 
sistent is it in its determination to flower that if taken up early 
in the autumn before the time for flowering, and placed in a 
pot or basket, it will bloom just as well as if left in the ground. 
Colchicum Autumnale. Pink. Each, 10 cts.; dozen,$1.00. 
Fine Mixed. Each, 10 cents ; per dozen, $1.00.

vigorous stem, and in early spring produces a cluster of large, 
drooping, bell-shaped flowers, surmounted by a tuft of glossy 
green leaves. Bulbs should be planted four or five inches 
deep, and about a foot apart. 
Single Red, each 15 cents; per dozen $1.35. 
IXIA 
THE RAINBOW FLOWER 
Few flowers attract more attention by their curious forms and 
strange colorings, nearly all showing three or more colors. 
Several may be planted in a small pot. There is a greater 
difference in the form and color of Ixias than in almost any other 
class of plants. They are easily raised in pots in a coldframe, 
window, or greenhouse. Haifa dozen bulbs may be put in a 
four-inch or five-inch pot. 
Choice bulbs, three for 5 cents; per dozen, 15 cents; per 
ico, 85 cents, postpaid.
