McscAKi, Grape Hvacin'th 



MuSCari Grape Hyacinths) 



One of the prettiest of early spring flower- 

 ing bulbs, growing about 6 inches high, and 

 throwing up numerous spikes of flowers, 

 which resemble a miniature inverted bunch 

 of grapes. They are perfectly hardy, and 

 once planted take care of themselves, and 

 for this reason they are largely used for 

 naturalizing, especially amongst the grass 

 and in woods or other shady places. 



Blue Grape Hyacinths. Clear blue. 

 35 cts. per doz.; S2.00 per 100; S15.00 per 

 1000. 



White Grape Hyacinths {Pearls of 

 Spain). Pure white. 75 cts. per doz.; 

 $5.00 per 100; §40.00 per 1000.

 much larger spikes of flowers than the ordinarj" Blue Grape Hyacinth.

 per 1000. 



Oxalis 



These are profuse bloomers, and very attractive in the house or conserva- 

 tory during the winter. Plant 3 or 4 bulbs in a pot or hanging basket, which 

 should be kept close to the light to prevent the foliage from growing too long. 



Bermuda Buttercup. Very free-flowering buttercup-yellow. 



Grand Duchess. Varieties of great beauty, of dwarf, sturdy growth, 

 throwing their large, exquisite flowers well above the foliage. Extremely 

 free-flowering, never being out of bloom from November till June. One of 

 the most desirable for window culture. We ofl'er them in three distinct 

 colors, viz.- Pink, White and Lavender. 



Mixed Oxalis, containing all the colors.

Double French Hybrid Ranunculus 



These beautiful dwarf-flowering bulbs delight in a cool, moist atmosphere, and will 

 repay extra care in cultivation. The curious tooth-like bulb may be kept out of the 

 ground without injury for a long time, and if planted in spring in a cool, shady situation 

 will generally gi\ e satisfactory results. They are also desirable for pot culture and for 

 growing in frames in spring. 



We ofi^er a splendid mixture containing all the brilliant colors for which this strain is 

 famous. 75 cts. per doz.; S5.75 per 100. 



Scillas (Squills) 



Sibirica. One of the prettiest of early spring-blooming bulbs, of dwarf habit, with 

 sprays of exquisite rich blue flowers. Grown in masses, in conjunction with Crocus, 

 particularly the yellow variety, Chionodoxas and Snowdrops, the effect is charming.

 Hyacinth). A beautiful spring-flowering 

 bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers, fine for 

 naturalizing in the woods, etc.; perfectly 

 hardy and requires no further care when 

 once planted. This is one of the few 

 things that will thrive under pine trees. 

 We offer them in separate colors and in 

 mixture as under.
