FOf* SPRING pLtflflTIflG. 
This class includes some of our showiest garden flow¬ 
ers. Ihev are of the easiest culture; planted in spring in 
good garden soil they flower with great certainty during 
summer and fall. The hardy sorts may remain in the 
ground over winter, but the tender sorts are to be taken 
up after the foliage has ripened in the fall, and the bulbs 
stored away in a dry, cool place until planting time the 
next spring. 
RlwopPHOPHAbbUs. 
A. Rivieri. Is a showy plant, with enormous palm-like 
leaves, 3 to 4 feet in diameter, spreading in the shape of 
an umbrella; the green stem is marbled brown and white; 
a desirable plant for specimens or groups on a lawn. The 
large, deep red flowers are produced before the leaves 
appear. It is chiefly grown, however, for the luxuriant 
tropical effect of the foliage. Plant out in May. Price,

PHILIPPINE CINNAMON Vine. 
A most beautiful and satisfactory hardy climber for covering trellis, 
piazzas, screens or anything on which the vines can twine; itgrows from 
15 to 30 feet high, and when the roots become large and established 
the vines attain a much greater length. The leaves are green, thick 
and glossy, always clean, healthy and free from insects. The white 
flowers are borne in clusters and, while insignificant, they emit a 
most delightful cinnamon-like perfume. The roots are thoroughly 
hardy, remain in the ground for years, increasing in size and vigor, 
but the vine dies down every winter, shooting up with great rapid¬ 
ity m the spring. Price, extra large 2-year-old roots, 15c. each, 
Sl.oO per doz.; strong 1-year-old roots, 8c. each, 80c. per doz., $6.00 
per 100.
