FALL CATALOGUE OF BULBS THAT BLOOM FOR 1897. Day Lily, Large Blue—Lovely blue flowers on tall spikes. Variegated Leaved—Leaves as handsome as a flower. A rosette-cluster of almost white leaves, lightly strired with green and yellow. Flowers pretty pale lilac-blue on tall spikes. Fine also for pots. Altogether this is one of the very finest (certainly one of the most attrac- tive and ornamental) of all hardy plants. Large White—Pure in color as the driven snow, as smooth in texture as though cut from sheeted wax. Calystegia^Pubeseens— A fine double perennial Morning Glory. "Vari- ously called Rose Vine, Double Morning Glory, California Rose, etc. A hardy perennial vine, coming from the roots each spring, and bearing quantities of pale satiny- pink flowers, as full and double as roses. Just the vine for rockeries, banks poor, hard soil, where nothing else will grow, or a hundred other places where a rarely handsome trailing or climbing vine is needed that is able to take care of itself. The vines we send out will bloom the first season and continue all sum- mer. Its long vines, wreathed in a profusion of large double Rose-like blossoms are very attrac- tive. Statice, or Thrift—This is a dainty little plant, forming compact tufts of narrow green foliage, which makes it particu- larly valuable for edg- ing, The flowers are a clear bright pink, and borne in clusters on tall stems. It blooms all summer long, and is a very pretty, desirable and useful flower, really the best of all hardy plants for edging walks, beds. etc. £ulalias— Elegant ornamental grasses, growing ten feet high, with beautiful foliage and large feathery plumes. We have three varieties—Zebrina, Japonica and Gracil- lima. Should be in every garden. Mountain Fieece—
