One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the summer- flowering bulbs, throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers two to three feet high, which remain in bloom a long period. It is now an indispensable article in making up a bouquet or basket of flowers at any time during the year, as by skilful management a succession of flowers can be obtained. For early flowers they can be started in February or March, in the greenhouse or hotbed, and for a suc- cession they can be planted at intervals as late as July. For flower- ing in the open borders, they can be planted about the first of May ; they will then bloom in September. The bulbs we offer this season are very fine, and certain to flower. 1st size, 10 cents each ; $1 CO per dozen ; $7 00 per hundred. 2d size, 8 cents each ; 80 cents per dozen ; $5 00 per hundred.
