 •stronger and bolder habit, growing in rich soil from 1 to 2 

 feet high, and producing freely beautiful large white flowers 

 ■distinctly tipped with green ; excellent for cutting. When once 

 planted they take care of themselves, and should have a place 

 in all hardy collections ; can also be grown in pots. 25 cts.

MlJSCARIA BOTRYOIDHS. 



(Grape Hyacinths.) 



LiLV OF THE Valley. 



LII.Y OF THE VALEEY, 



(Ready in November.) 



One of the most charming of sj^ring-flowering plants, and can 

 readily be flowered in the house. 'I'he pips or crowns are re- 

 ceived from Germany during November, and should be planted 

 soon after their receipt. The simplest method for indoor 

 culture is to place a bundle of 25 pips in a 7 or 8-inch pot, 

 filling it up wuh sand, moss or light Sdil, alluwing the points 

 of the pips to be about an inch abuve the surface. They should 

 then be placed out of doors and brought indoors as wanted, 

 and put in a shaded ]ilace in a temperature of about 70 de- 

 grees, and when the spikes are 3 or 4 inches high they may be brought to where 

 they are to perfect their flowers. By having a number of pots and bringing in at 

 intervals, a continuous display can be had throughout the winter and spring months ; 

 we recommend clumos as most suitable for outdoor planting. 

 Extra Selected Pips. Bundle of 25 pips, oQc; $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1000.

 of Amaryllis. The lily-like blossoms are 

 a brilliant crimson, and in sunlight ap- 

 pear as if sprinkled with gold dust ; de- 

 cidedly one of the best winter-flowering 

 bulbs. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 



MUSCARIA. 



(Grape and Featiiered Hyacinths.) 



Botryoides {Grape Hyacinth). One 

 of the prettiest of early spring-flower- 

 ing bulbs, growing about 6 inches 

 high and throwing up numerous 

 spikes of clear blue or white flowers, 

 which resemble a miniature bunch of 

 grapes. They are perfectly hardy, 

 and once planted take care of them- 

 selves ; in clumps or lines they are 

 very effective. 8 to 12 bulbs in a 6- 

 inch pan make a pretty plant for win- 

 dow decoration, blooming at Easter.
