MUSCAKIA BOTRYOIDES. 



(Grape Hyacinths.) 



JIUSCARIA. 



(Grape and Feathered Hyacinths ) 



Botryoides {Grape Hyacinth). One of 

 the prettiest of early spring-flowering 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 themselves; in 

 clumps or lines they are very effective. 8 

 to 12 bulbs in a 6-inch pan make a pretty 

 plant for window decoration, blooming at 

 Easter. 



Blue Grape Hyacinths. 15 cts. per doz.; 

 75 cts. per 100; 86.00 per 1000. 



White (irape Hyacinths {Pearls of 

 Spain). 20 cts. per doz.; $1.00 per 100; 

 |8.00 per 1000. 



Monstrosum \ Feathered Hyacinth). An 

 odd and interesting variety, growing a foot 

 or more high, producing spikes of claret- 

 colored flowers, which are cut up into wavy 

 filaments in such a way as to resemble pur- 

 ple feathers; perfectly hardy and will grow 

 anywhere. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.25 per 

 lnO; $10.00 per 1000. 



Nerine Sarniensis. 



(Guernsey Lily.) 



A beautiful and easily-grown variety of 

 Amaryllis. The lily-like blossoms are a bril- 

 liant crimson, and in sunlight appear as if 

 sprinkled with gold dust; decidedly one of the 

 best winter-flowering bulbs. 25 cts. each; 

 $2. 50 per doz. 



LACHENALIA. 



(Cape Cowslip, or Leopard Lily. 



This beautiful genus of half-hardy bulbs is comparatively rare in this country. 

 The few specimens exhibited at horticultural shows create quite a sensation, owing to 

 their profusion of bloom and their bright, diversified colors, as well as their orna- 

 mental foliage. Of easiest growth; can be had in bloom at Christmas, and lasts for 

 a long time. 



Pendllla. Vigorous species; bright red, tipped with sea-green and purple. 

 Tricolor. Very free-flowering; spotted yellow flowers, margined with green and 



red; early. 

 Nelsoni. A beautiful and distinct variety 

 with golden-yellow flowers; one of the best. 

 Price: Any of the above, 20 cts. each; 

 $2.00 per doz. One of each for 50 cts. 



LEICOJUM VERNIM. 



(Spring Snowflake. 



Pretty bulbous plants allied to the Snow- 

 drop, but of much 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 cut- 

 ting. 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. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 

 1000. 



LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



: ( Ready in November. ) 

 One of the most charming of spring-flower- 

 ing plants, and can readily be flowered in the 

 house. The pips or crowns are received 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, tilling it up 

 with sand, moss or light soil, allowing the 

 points of the pips to be about an inch above 

 the surface. They should then be placed out 

 of doors and brought indoors as wanted, and 

 put in a shaded place in a temperature of 

 about 70 degrees, 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 

 clumps as most suitable for outdoor planting. 

 Extra Selected Pips. Bundle of 25 pips, 

 50 cts.; $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1000. 



If wanted by mail, add 10 cts per bundle 



of 25 pips for postage. 



Strong Clumps. For outdoor planting. 



30 cts. each; $2.50 do/.; $17. 5(i per 100. 



Clumps can only be sent by express or 

 freight at purchaser's expense.
