ALLIUM NEAPOLITANS Very valuable for winter blooming. The large clusters of white flowers never fail to re- mind one of spring and keep in condition for several weeks, giving a cheerful brightness to any collection of plants. Place four to six bulbs in a five-inch pot, in well -drained sandy loam, and start into growth at once. Keep in the full sunlight, and when the plants start give plenty of water. 2for j cents ; 25 cents per dozen ; $1.25 per 100^ postpaid. ANEMONE One of the most beau- tiful and showy flowers, exceedingly brilliant in color, of neat and com- pact growth, and with foliage elegantly cut. It is not quite so hardy as many other bulbs, but if planted in October or November, four or five inches apart and covered three inches deep in a moist, rich, well drained soil, and then is well protected by leaves and manure, success can confi- dently be expected. A northerly site, protected from the wind and too much sun, is the best. Make the soil rich, and water frequently in the spring. If the weather is hot when Anemones are in bloom, shade partially in daytime with cheese cloth or mosquito netting at about three feet above them, and cover the ground with moss or other mulch to pre- vent the soil from becoming too dry. The bulbs may be kept till spring, when, if planted early, they will do well. For forcing in-doors, pot three or four roots in porous, rich soil, in a five-inch pot. Keep the pots in a cold frame or other moist, cool situation until the roots are well started, when they may be re- moved to the place where they are desired to bloom. Avoid heat and dry air and the rich and various colored flowers will repay your care. Prices include postage. ANEMONE. EACH. DOZ.
