Lhe Grape Flyacinth. 
(IMPROVED.) This charming little gem should be found in 
every garden in abundance, It has been termed the “Blue Lily 
of the Valley,’ and when planted in a mass with that sweet 
flower it does resemble it to some extent, and forms a most fas- 
cinating combination. It grows about the same height and 
blooms about the same time each Spring. It increases rapidly, 
and when once planted a mass of beautiful blossoms, which will 
increase each year, is insured for a lifetime. But for Winter 
blooming in potsitisofthe greatest value. Plant five orsix bulbs 
in a five-inch pot, and you will have as lovely a pot of bloom as 
you can imagine. Words fail to do it justice. Flower stems 
grow a foot in height, bearing a dense Spike of sky-hlue hells 
tipped with white, and oh! solovely. Please remember that mine 
Sian improved strain of Grape Hyacinth, much superior to the 
old form.

RUSTIC BOX OF ROMAN HYACINTHS. 
The points of merit that commend this family of Hyacinths to. 
me are many. First, they are early—can be brought into bloom 
for the holidays, a season when flowers are scarce. Second, 
they throw up several spikes of bloom tothe bulb, _ Third. they 
are so easy of culture, once planted they take care of themselves.

apart, and you can have flowers all through the Winter.

known. The spike is solid,and composed of florets which are 
two inchesor more across, Each flower is composed of wide 
outside petals, while the center is filled solidly with small, twists 
ed, quilled petals, making a flower as compactly double as a 
Dahlia. Color a fine shade of blue, while the outer row of large 
petals are tipped with Brcens which gives ita most unique ap- 
pearance. No matter how many Hyacinths you have, your cole. 
lection will not be complete without this most beautiful one,
