The flowers are borne on stems two feet tall, and are of large size like a beautiful Gloxinia, and of a deep rich rose color. Blooms nearly all summer, and is certainly a glorious thing, 25e. each; 5 for$1, Giant Spring Ranunculus. These from spring planted bulbs give most astonishing results. Plant very early, in partial shade, and water liber- ally, and in a few weeks you will have a show of large double flowers, which even Hoses cannot surpass. We know of no other low-priced bulb that is so perfectly magnificent. Their long, wiry stems tttthem admirably for cutting, and for late spring bedding they have few equals. They bear the most lovely flowers imaginable—pink, white, black, yellow, red, blush and variegated, each about two inches in diameter, and as double and as perfectly imbricated as a Dahlia or Rose. Mixed—All colors, 2 for 5c.; 12 for 25c. Moat Blanc—Pure white. Fire Ball—Bright scarlet. Apollo—Finest yellow. Black Turban—Coal black. 5c. each ; the- It for 15c,; 35c. per Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original John Lewis Childs (Firm); Henry G.
