Catalogue of pot-grown strawberries, holland bulbs, hardy plants, etc., etc. offered for sale by Ellwanger & Barry, Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Strawberries Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. A Narcissus of the Polyanthus type and an admirable bulbous plant for house culture. It can be planted any time from November to March, and produces beautiful waxy white fragrant flowers in great profusion a little over a month after planting. Place the bulbs in a bowl or dish as shown in the annexed illustration, with an inch of fine gravel in the bottom, and enough pebbles or marble chips to hold the bulbs upright, then fill the bowl about one-half with lukewarm water, and place it in a window or on a table, or any place to suit the purpose. The water should be re- newed about once a week, or as often as it evaporates. The bulbs are of good size, and each one throws out four to six flower spikes. No plant that we know of gives so much satisfaction for the trouble. During the winter months, when flowers are so scarce, it blooms profusely, and is most desirable for house decoration. De- servedly one of the most popular plants for house culture. Should be in every home. Price, 15 cents each ; 3 for 40 cents ; $ per dozen. CHINESE SACRED LILY. THE CROCUS. Is one of the earliest and prettiest spring flower- ing bulbs. It thrives in almost any garden, but does best in a light, rich, damp soil. They should be planted in September and October, about three inches deep and two inches apart No plant is better adapted for clumps, lines, masses and beds. By judicious planting, the most striking effects can be produced. Each color should be in a line or row by itself, and the colors on either side should be such as will contrast strongly with it. The clumps should consist of six, twelve or twenty, and the beds from one to five hundred or more bulbs. For borders and edgings, the Crocus is also well suit
