30 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 
———S 
Chionodoxa, or Glory of the Snow. 
These are praised by all as the most exquisite of spring-flowering 
plants, and when grown in quantities under shrubs the effect is strikingly 
beautiful. They produce flower spikes bearing ten to fifteen lovely 
Scilla-like flowers. They are perfectly hardy, and may be planted as an 
edging to a bed, or in clumps or masses, where they are doubly 
welcome, flowering early in the season with the Snowdrops, and 
lasting a long time in perfection. They will thrive well in any good 
garden soil, and are admirable for pot culture for winter blooming 
in the house and for forcing for cut flowers. (See cut.) 
Lucille. Charming bright blue, with large clear white centre. 
3 for 5c., 15c. per doz., $1.00 per 100. 
Sardensis. Intense deep true Gentian blue, in masses its 
brilliant color catches the eyeatagreat distance. Theflowers, 
though smaller than other Chionodoxas, are more numerous.

Gigantea. A great acquisition, differing from all others of 
this family by its unusually large flowers of lovely lilac blue, 
with conspicuous white centre. Is thoroughly hardy, and a 
perfect gem for spring decoration in masses in the garden, 
and when grown in pots for winter flowering it is beautifully 
effective. (See cut.) 2 for 5c., 20c. per doz., $1.25 per 100.
