This beautiful genus of half-hardy bulbs 

 is comparatively rare in this country. The 

 few specimens exhibited at horticultural 

 shows create quiie 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 lime.

I^EUCOJUM YERNUM. 



(Spring Snowflake.) 



Pretty bulbous plants allied to the Snowdrop, 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 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. 

 per doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000. 



Lily of the Valley. 



LILY OF THE YALEEY. 



(Ready in November.) 



MuscARiA Botryoides. 

 (Grape Hyacinths.) 



One of the most charming of spring-flowering plants, and can 

 readily be flowered in the house. The pips or crowns are re- 

 ceived from Germany during November, and should be planted 

 soon after their receipt. The simplest melhod for indoor 

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

 filling 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 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 clumps as most suitable for outdoor planting. 

 Extra Selected Pips. Bundle of 25 pips, 60c.; $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1000.

 of Amaryllis. The lily-like blossoms are

 pear as if sprinkled with gold dust ; de- 

 cidedly one of the best winter-flowering 

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



MUSCARIA. 



(Grape and Feathered 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.
