us, Mixed Colors—Xo flower in our conservator-ies last winter attracted as much attention as did a fewpots of this superb annual. Plants grow freely and flow-ers appear in large drooping racemes, and resemble somespecies of Orchid. Per pkt., 10c.Shoo-Fly Plant—It is claimed that flies will not stay in aroom where it is growing if they can conveniently escape,though what there is about it that repulses them is notclear, as the plant or flower has no odor. Aside from thismost remarkable quality it is a most beautiful floweringplant, and blooms in a very short time, (60 days.) fromseed. It is particularly valuable as a winter bloomer,the blossoms being large, cup-shaped, and of a lovelylight blue color with a white center. Per pkt., 10c.Verbesena, Occidentalis—Blossoms very, large, richestgolden yellow in color, closely resembling alCosmo?, andborne on long, graceful stems. Per pkt., 5c. One pkt. each of the IS sorts for only 75c. 22 JOHN LEWIS CHILD5, FLORAL PARK, QUEENS CO. N. Y.

TWO G-IR^ILTL LILIES. LILIUM HARRISI aud CANDIDUM are the two best of all Lilies for winter blooming in pots and certainly among themost important of all flowers for winter decoration. Recognizing their great importance, we have for several years madespecial efforts to secure from our growers in Bermuda and France, extra strong bulbs of enormous size especially for potculture, such as will produce an astonishing amount of extra large and fine blooms. In this we have been very successful,and our extra strong bu I bs of these two lovely Lilies have become famous for the number and beauty of the blossoms theyproduce. Our stock is this season finer than ever before, and we offer these special select bulbs with the assurance thatthey will prove more than satisfactory. Harrisi, or the Bermuda Easter Lily—uarge, pure white,trumpet-shaped flowers, of great beauty and fragrance;as a winter-bloomer nothing can surpass it. Plant in sixto eight inch pots of good soil and treat like other winter
