SCILX.AS (Squills). 

 Sibirica. This is one of ihe prettied 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 in- 

 doors. 20 cts. per doz. ; $1.00 per 100; $8.50 per 1000. Hy 

 mail, 15 cts. per 100 extra. 



Campanulata ( Spanish Blue-bell orWood Hyacinth). A beauti- 

 ful 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. We offer them in

Scilla Campanulata. 



(Galanthus). 



The charming Snowdrop is the first of 

 all flowers to herald the approach of 

 spring. It can frequently be seen in bloom 

 when the ground is white with snow, as it 

 takes every advantage, and hastens to dis- 

 play its graceful snow-white bells before 

 the winter has disappeared. In conjunction with Chionodoxas and Scilla Sibirica a 

 matchless effect can be produced. 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.; $1.00 per 100; $8. 00 per 1000. 



Single. Pure white graceful bells; early flowering. 15 cts. per doz.; 85 cts. per 

 100; $7.00 per 1000. 



Double. Flowers perfectly double, pure white. 25 cts. per doz. ; $1.50 per 100; 

 $12.00 per 1000. 

 If Snowdrops are wanted by mail, add lit cts. per 100 for postage. Dozi ns 



mailed without e.rtr<t charge. 



SPARAXIS. 



A beautiful class of bulbs, allied to the Ixias, and requiring the same treatment, 

 producing spikes of flowers of the most exquisite and brilliant colors. Mixed varie- 

 ties. 15 cts. per doz.; 75 cts. per 100; $6.00 per 1000. 



STERNBERGIA LUTEA (Autumn Daffodil!. 



Pretty, hardy autumn-flowering bulbs that deserve to be better known. In ap- 

 pearance 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 27.
