BRODIAEAS Tlie flowers are of various forms, colors and sizes, all exceedingly interesting and beautiful, and of tlie easiest culture. In tbe open ground they are hardy with slight protection, but'their greatest value is for whiter-blooming in pots. Lactea—Flowers borne in great umbels, are of a lovely blue color and last for a long time. It also grow- and flowers with greatest freedom in any situation, and is one of the most reliable bulbs in cultivation for a sure and satisfactory display. 3 for 15c; 12 for 50c. Coccinea or Floral Firecracker—This is a> flower of strik- ing beauty, and one that catches every eye. Its blooms are borne in clusters, at the end of long, -lender stems, and droop like a Fuchsia. They are two to three inches in length, of a deep bright crim- son-scarlet color, tipped with green and white. 15c each; 4 for 50c. Capitata—Lovely light blue flowers in pretty clusters on long graceful stems. 3 for 10c; 12 for 30c. Volubilis (Twining Hyacinth)—Flowers borne on long stems which twine and twist around anything within reach. Blossoms in large compact clusters of a pink- ish red color and very handsome. 15c each; 4 for 50c. Mixed Sorts—Fine mixed. 25c per doz.; $1.75 per 100. BABIANA, EDITH Ultramarine blue; perfectly exquisite. This is some- times called the blue Freesia, but in size of flower and spike and general beauty it is finer than any Freesia, Ixia or Sparaxis. Blooms very earlv and is fine for pot - in winter as well as for the garden. 3 for 15c; 1.-2 for 50c.
