Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs. Crown C HOCUS. Crown Imperials. Veiy showy and stately eaily spring- blooming plants. The flowers are bell- shaped, and are borne in a whorl at the top of the plant, which grows from 3 to 4 feet high. The Crown Impe- rials will grow well in any good gar- den soil, and if it can be said to have preferences, it is for a deep loam. At the time of ]ilanting the soil should be deeply trenched and well manured. They should be planted 2 or 3 in a clump, 6 inches deep, and then left for years. \vhen established they f'iwer abundaritly, and the stems should not be cut off, but allowed to decay naturally. A slight covering during the winter is bene- ficial. (See cut.) Superfine nixed. Including red, yellow and shades of orange. 12 cts. each; $ per doz.; $8 00 per 100. Add 2 Cts. each for DREER'S GIANT There are few winter-flowering bulbs more atiraciive than the Cyclamen, being an ideal (ilant either for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only are they beautiful when in flower, but the foliage is also highly ornamental, being beautifully mottled, and they are therefore highly decorative even when not in flower. The Giant strain here oft'ered is much superior to the old type, being of more robust growth and throwing the large flowers well above the handsome foliage. It is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into giowth. We have, therefore, concluded to send out only nicely started plants, which we feel sure will produce grand results, having been grown from our own choice strain of seed. Pure White. Deep Rose. Blood Red. White, with Carmine Eye. Price, any of the above in extra fine pi mts, 25 els each ; $ per doz. nixed Varieties. 20 cts. each; $2 00 per doz.
