Set of 25 sorts $ CEIVIA MINIATIJM-Imantophylluni. A pretty lily like plant of the easiest culture, and a most desirable house plant; it flowers during the spring and summer months, remaining in bloom for a long period. The flowers are about 2 inches long and are borne in dense clusters of from ten to twenty flowers on each ; in color it is of a fine orange-red shading to buff. (See cut.) 30 cts. each, $ per doz. GIANT CYCLAMEN. There are few winter flowering bulbs more attractive than the Cyclamen, being an ideal plant either for greenhouse or window decoration. Not only are they beautiful when m flower, but the foliage is also highly ornamen- tal, being beautifully mottled, and they are therefore highly decorative even when not in flower. The Giant strain here offered is much superior to the old type; being of more robust growth and throwing the large flowers well above the handsome foliagi. It is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. We have, therefore, concluded to send out only nicely started bulbs, which we feel sure will produce grand results, having been grown from our own choice strain of seed.
