SCILXAS (Squills). 



Sibirica. 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 Blue-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.

Elwes' Giant Snowdrops. 



Scilla Campanulata. 

 SNOWDROPS (Galanthus). 



The charming Snowdrop is the first of all flowers 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 Scillas, 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 of 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 Snow- 

 drops. 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 

 postage. Dozens mailed without extra charge. 



STERNBERGIA JUUTEA. 



(Autumn Daffodil.) 



hardy autumn-flowering bulbs that deserve to be better 

 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 out 

 stock was procured. 25 cts. per doz.; §1.50 per 100; §12.00 per 

 1000.
