SCILX.AS (Squills)- 



Sibirtea. This is 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, Chionodoxas and Snowdrops, the effect is charming. Valuable for edging, 

 and a dozen bulbs in a 5-inch pot make a pretty effect when grown indoors. 20 

 Cts. per doz.; $1.25 per 100; $10 00 per 1000. 



Campanulata {Spanish Bine-bell or Wood Hyacinth). A beautiful spring- 

 flowering bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers in blue, white and rose; 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.

SPARAXIS. 



A beautiful class of bulbs, 

 allied to the Ixias, and requir- 

 ing the same treatment, pro- 

 ducing spikes of flowers of the 

 most exquisite and brilliant 

 colors. Mixed varieties. 15 

 cts. per doz.; 75 cts. per 100;

Elwes* Giant Snowdrops. 



Scilla Campanulata. 



SdLLA SlBIRICA. 



SNOWDROPS (Galanthus). 



The charming Snowdrop is the first of all f.^-.vers to herald the ap- 

 proach of spring. It can frequently be seen in bloom when the ground 

 is white with snow, as it takes every advantage, and hastens to display 

 its graceful snow-white bells before the winter has disappeared. In 

 conjunction with Chionodoxas and Scilla, a matchless effect can be pro- 

 duced. As the bulbs are small, they should be planted liberally in 

 order to obtain immediate results. Banks, grassy slopes, edging or 

 rock-work will suit all these bulbs. They should not be disturbed 

 often if a fine display is desired. 

 Elwes' Giant. An exceedingly large and beautiful single variety; 



flowers snow-white, with emerald-green tube. 15 cts. per doz. ; 75 

 _cts. per 100, $6.50 per 1000. 

 Single. Pure white graceful bells; early flowering. 15 cts. per doz. ; 



75 cts. per 100; $6.50 per 1000. 

 Double. Flowers perfectly double, pure white. 25 cts. per doz.; 



$1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000- 

 Giant Cassabah. The largest flowering of all the single Snowdrops. 



Very showy. The bulbs we offer have been received from Asia 



Minor, its native habitat. 30 cts. per doz.; $2.00 per 100; $18.00 



per 1000. 



If Snowdrops are wanted by mail, add 10 cts. per 100 for post- 

 age. Dozens mailed without extra charge. 



STERNBERGIA LUTEA. 



(Autumn Daffodil.) 



Prettv, hardy autumn-flowering bulbs that deserve to be better known. 

 In appearance they resemble a fine yellow Crocus, and a clump of a 

 dozen or more together with a corresponding clump of Autumn Crocus 

 offered on page 22 gives a touch of spring to the garden in autumn. 

 This is supposed by some writers to be the Lily of Scripture, as it 

 grows abundantly in the Holy Land, from whence our stock was pro- 

 cured. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000. 



If you want something " different," and out of the ordinary, plant a bed or border with Spanish Iris. See page 25.
