Winter-blooming Oxalis are always sure to please. Plant th e or six bulbs in a 6 inch pot. They commence growth immediately after planting and need not be set away to form roots like most other bulbs. They bloom during the entire winter, a thing we can expect of very few plants or bulbs, and are for that reason doubly worthy of a place in every collection of win- ter blooming bulbs, bur bulbs are particularly fine, and the Grand Duchess, Bermuda Buttercup, and Versicolor, will be found to be exceedingly showy and free blooming. Bermuda Buttercup -A tine, robust-growing, large flower- ing sort from Bermuda. Blooms in enormous panicles, each flower being as large as a silver half-dollar and of a clear bright yellow color. Bulbs commence bloom- ing soon after planting and continue all winter witout a break. Easily grown in any window and a most satis- factory winter bloomer. Multiflora Alba-A good sort producing pure white blossoms Flava—Another fine new sort, with large beautiful cut or • crow-foot leaves" and gigantic blossoms of finest lemon yellow. Bowl—Extra large brilliant red blossoms and luxuriant foliage. One of the very best. Lutea Major -Bright golden yellow in large clusters. One of the most magnificent. Veriscolor -The prettiest of all. Beautiful foliage and com- pact growth with an abundance of large pearly white blossoms, each petal having a wide border of brilliant scarlet, a combination which is truly charming. Oouble Yellow (or Double Buttercup Oxalis)—This is ex- actly like the above except its blossoms are perfectly
