CHIONODOXA (Clory of the Snow) 



Luciliae. One of the most beautiful of our spring-flowering bulbs, coming into flower 

 soon after the snow is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when once 

 planted requires no further care. Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color, with white 

 centre. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



Dielytra, or Dicentra 



Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart, or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned favorite; its long race- 

 mes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; it is used largely for 

 forcing, and is perfectly at home in any part of the hardy border, and especially valuable 

 for planting in the shade. Strong clumps, ready in October, 50 cts. each; §5.00 per doz. 



Eranthis Hyemalis 



(Winter Aconite) 



A pretty yellow flower, valuable for its early blooming and contrasting well with the 

 Snowdrops, which are the only flowers to keep it company at the early season in which it 

 blooms. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will 

 tlirive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the 

 highest perfection it should be grown in an open bod or border 

 of deep, rich sandy loam. When planted in large groups or 

 lines of distinct color, the effect is very striking. They are in- 

 valuable for pot culture. To secure a succession of blooms 

 commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 bulbs in a pot 

 (the named varieties are best for this purpose), using rich 

 soil and planting about half an inch deep. They can also be 

 grown in saucers or bowls, in prepared i)ulb fibre or in water 

 and pebbles, in the same way as the Chinese Sacred Lily. 

 For complete cultural notes see our book, "Hhtis on the Grow- 

 ing of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts.; or sent free to customers if 

 asked for at time of ordering.
