FOR BEDDING OUT IN THE FALL. 


These mixed Hyacinths are used almost 
exclusively for bedding out in the Fall on 
account of their cheapness. They are just 
as good colors and justas fragrant as the — 
named varieties; the difference is inthe cost 
of keeping the named sorts separate, both 
while planting and after they are dug. The 
exact shades cannot be given,but the general 
outline of colors are kept separate, so that 
in ordering you know what color you are 
buying. Price, 5 cents each; or the entire 
twenty choice varieties for $1.00.

Early Single Flowering Tulips, Named. 


TULIPS are such universal favorites that it is scarcely neces- 
sary to expatiate upon their merits here. Their ease ot culture, 
combined with beauty of form and gorgeous coloring, render 
them the most popular bulbs grown for Spring bedding, and for 
Winter flowering in the greenhouse and window garden they are 
incomparable. The Tulipis extremely hardy and of easy cul- 
ture, flowering as freely inthe shade as inthe sunshine, and 
producing as fine flowers in a confined town garden as in a more 
favored place. Double and single Tulips, when associated to- 
gether and planted in front of shrubs, maintain a longer display 
than if either are separately planted. In gardens where the 
flower beds must be kept ga fom the earliest day of Spring, 
plant between the lines of Tulips Scilla Siberica, Chionodoxa 
Luciliz, Snowdrops or Crocus, and as these flower first they can 
be removed or cut down when the Tulip is coming into bloom. 
The Single Tulip has a greater variety of rich, delicate and at- 
tractive colors than any other section of Spring-flowering bulbs, 
Those only who have massed the different varieties, pronting 
the bulbs four inches apart, can torm an idea of their beauty an

HOW TO GROW BULBS IN THE HOUSE IN WINTER. | 


HE past two Winters we have found out the best and prettiest way to force all kinds of bulbsin the house. “Nooneis too old 


to learn,” is a true saying. 


And we have found it true in the manner of forcing bulbs. Our knowin 
comes through our mother, from whom we learn much that is true and beautiful, 


how to force bulbs 


Thisis the way she beautifies her whole 


house during the bleak, dreary Winter months: Take common split baskets, peck size, such as are used to carry grapes to market in 


(they can be procured at any 
bulbs in them. 
When planted water and carry tothe cellar.

Itisbestto plant only one kind of bulbs in each basket,

In one put Narcissus,in another Hyacinths, and soon, 


After letting stand for a month or six weeks so as to become rooted, bring themina

months, for as fast as the ones up are through blooming remove the baskets to the cel

been planted, We advise all our patrons to try this method, as the baskets are much better for the bulbs than flower pots.

sured fora lifetime. Butfor Winter blooming in pots it is of the 
greatest value, Plant five or six Bulbsin a five-inch pot,and you 
will have as lovely a pot ot bloom as you can imagine. Words 
fail to doit justice. Flower stems grow a toot in height bearing 
a dense spike of skye-blue bells tipped with white, and oh! so 
Zovely, Please remember that ours is an improved strain of 
Grape Hyacinth, much superior to the old form.

ORTHINOCALUM ARABICUM. 


We introduce this as a new Winter-blooming bulb of great 
beauty and value. In magnificence there is nothing like jt amon 
Winter-blooming bulbs or plants, Even the grand H vacints 
must be preceded by the stately beauty ofthis flower. Itisana- 
tive ot Arabia, Bulb large and solid, closely resembling that of 
a Hyacinth, and requiring exactly the same culture. Leaves 
long and narrow; flower spikes eighteen to twenty-four inches 
high, strong and graceful, bearing an immense cluster of large, 
pearly-white flowers, having act Black center. The indivdiual 
flowers keep perfect many weeks before fading, so that for more 
than a month this grand spike of bloom isin full glory. Its dur- 
ability is almost without an equal among flowers. Add to this 
its delicate aromatic fragrance,and we have a Winter-bloomer 
which all must admitstands without a rival. Its culture isthe 
easiest, as it will grow in any position in any window, A bulb 
can be planted in a four-inch pot, or al in a larger pot or 
box. Potin September, October or November. They caneyen 
be kept and planted as late as February first. For open ground 
culture they do wellif protected from freczing severely, Price, 
6 cents each: three tor15 cents, 


CROCUS. 


The Crocus is one of the first flowers of 
Spring, and one of the best for blooming 
in the house during Winter. Half a doz- 
en bulbs may be planted in a pot, and will 
make a very pretty show. For garden 
culture plant bulbs two inches deep and 
two orthree inches apart. They are so 
cheap and pretty they ought to be found 
in every garden in abundance, They 
bloom splengidly when planted on the 
lawn among the grass. They lift their 
bright heads up through the sod very 
early, and give thelawn a charining as-

of flowers that has placed this, “* The Flower 
of the Poets,” in the tront rank of popularity 

’ and they merit all the praise thatcan be be 

stowed upon them. Appearing, as they do 
just after bleak Winter, they turn our gar 
dens, lawns and woodlawn walks into gor

valuable for growing in pots for Winter fow-

immense quantities by florists for cut-flowers 
in Winter. Narcissus are of the easiest cul-

(A variety of Polyanthus Narcissus.) 


The “Shui Sin Far.” or Water Fairy 
Flower, Joss Flower, or Flower of the 
Gods, etc., as it is called by the Celestials, 
is a variety of Narcissus, bearing in lavish 
profusion chaste flowers of silvery-white, 
with golden-yellow cups. They are of 
exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. 
Itis grown by the Chinese according to 
their ancient custom, to herald the advent 
of their new year, and as a symbol ot 
good luck, 

The bulbs are grown by a method 
known only to themselves, whereby they 
attain great size and vitality, insuring 
luxuriant growth and immense spikes of 
flowers. In fact, theincredibly short time 
required to bring the bulbs into bloom 
(four to six weeks atte> planting) is one of 


the wonders of nature. “You can almost 
see them grow,” succeeding almost every- 
where and with everybody. They do 
wellin pots of earth, but are more novel 
and beautiful grown in shallow bowls of 
water, with enough fancy pebbles to pre- 
vent them from toppling over when in

that has been offered in many years. The bulbs are small, and 
several can be planted in a pot, each one of which will send up 
several flower scapes, bearing star-shaped blossoms one inch in 
diameter pure white, elegantly lined with celestial blue. As 
the flowers follow each other successively, and last a long time 
before fading, a pot of these bulbs is never without flowers for 
several months in midwinter. They are also quite hardy, and 
can be planted in the open ground, where they will bloom ele-

This peerless Lily is the greatest acquisition to 
floriculture made in many years, Their profusion 
of bloom, the remarkably short time required to

specia! occasions, render them invaluable, The 
flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy-white, 
of great substance, and if cut as soon as they are 
open, or | eblapaert open,they can be kept fortwo 
weeks, short time onlyis required to bring them 
into bloom. Bulbs potted in Augustcan be had in 
flower in November if desired. A succession of 
bloom canbe keptup from November to May by 
bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from cold 
frames at intervals throughout the Winter, The 
quantity of bloom produced is marvelous, the ay- 
erage production of bulbs five to seven inches in 
circumference, even when forced,is from five to 
eight flowers,and of bulbs seven to nine inches 
eight to twelve flowers; and if desired a sccon 
crop of flowers, frequently equal to the first, can be

tially shaded situation the flowers ré- 
main open all the time. Properly 
treated,the plants will flower in six 
weeks from the time the bulbs are 
planted. We do not claim the Ber- 
muda Buttercup Oxalis to be strictly

A customer writes: “Our better half had a plant of both red and white Carna- 
tions in the house last Winter, placed there in the Fall before they commenced 
tobloom They grew beautifully, and about the first of December commenced 
blooming. From that until May they were in flower continuously. At times as 
many as fifty blooms could be seen on them at once, and they completely filled 
the house with their fragrance.”’

that can be recommended for apartments, conservatories, deco- 
rations or vase plants during Summer. They are all grand 
plants and ot the easiest culture. 

Noricr.—It may be well to state here that young Palms do 
not resemble the illustrations given, as they do not show their 
character leaves until the second year, so that when you get 
your Palm plants and see long, narrow leaves instead of the 
character leaves, as shown in the illustrations, do not think that 
the wrong kind has been sent you. 


ARECA LUTESCENS, 


 Areea Lutescens.—A most elegant Palm, One of the best for |

most valuable of all the Palms, Price, 25 cents each; fine 
aes $1.00 to $2.00 each. 

Washingtonia Filifera.—A beautiful Palm is one of the finest 
additions that can be made to any collection of plants, but 
the high prices of the best varieties have peeventedadaet peo- 
ple from possessing one. Then, again, there are but few of 
the best sorts which succeed well with ordinary window cul- 
ture. Itis, therefore, with pleasure that we are now able to 
offer one of the most beautiful sortsin existence, and one that 
is hardy and robust enough to succeed anywhere, at a price 
which frites it within the reach of all. It has elegant dark 
green, fan-shaped leaves, from which hang thread-like fila- 
ments asseenincut. The plantis a compact grower, well 

. adapted to pot culture, succeeding in any situation, and with

placed about the garden or yard,or used for a centerin a 
vase, basket or flower bed—always ornamental anywhere. 
All Palms of the fan-leaved sorts hae when young, leaves 
of along, narrow shape, developing the round, fan-shaped 
ones as they grow older. Therefore when you get your 
plant and see long leaves instead of round ones, do not think 
that a wrong sort has been sent you. Price, 10 cents each;

the great objection to climbing Roses--that they bloom once and then are 
done. But here we have a Rose that blooms continuously for over seven 
months of the year. Whenit first opens the fowers are a beautiful red, but 
soon turn to a lovely light pink, and it blooms so profusely as to almost hide 
the plant. It is perfectly hardy and is a vigorous grower. Price, 20cts. each.

a vigorous and rapid grower, and must at once become a general fayorite. 
It makes a great profusion of fine buds, which are borne on long stems and 
usually in large clusters, One plant of Mary Washington will produce 
more flowers and buds than a dozen ordinary Roses. Its fragrance is tinged 
with that old-fash.oned musky flavor so much admired in olden times, 
Price, 15 cents each. 

New Climbing Rose, CRIMSON RAMBLER —The plant is of very vigor- 
ous growth, making shoots from eight to ten feet during the season, render- 
ing it acharming pillar Rose, It is also magnificent in bush form, and for 
covering buildings, trellises, etc.,it cannot be excelled, One of the striking 
characteristics of this Rose is its remarkable color, which 1s of the brightest 
crimson, which remains undimmed to the end, showing none of the objec-
