Oxalis 



These are profuse bloomers, and very attractive in the house or conser- 

 vatory during the winter. Plant 3 or 4 bulbs iri a pot or hanging basket, which 

 should be kept close to the light to prevent the foliage from growing too long. 



Bermuda Buttercup. One of the finest of winter flowering plants for pot 

 culture; of strong, luxuriant growth. The great profusion of bloom pro- 

 duced in uninterrupted abundance for weeks is astonishing. The flowers 

 are of the purest bright buttercup-yellow. 



Grand Duchess. Comparatively new varieties of great beauty, of dwarf, 

 sturdy growth, throwing their large, exquisite flowers well above the foliage. 

 Extremely free-flowering, never being out of bloom from November till 

 June. One of the most desirable for window culture. We offer them in three 

 distinct colors, viz.: 

 Grand Duchess Pink. 



White.

Price of any of the above. 3 for 15 cts.; SO cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100.

Bermud.'^ Buttercup Oxalis 



Double French Hybrid 

 Ranunculus 



These beautiful dwarf-flowering bulbs 

 delight in a cool, moist atmosphere, and 

 will repay extra care in cultivation. The 

 curious tooth-like bulb may be kept out of 

 the ground without injury for a long time, 

 and if planted in spring in a cool, shady sit- 

 uation will generally give satisfactory re- 

 sults. They are also desirable for pot 

 culture and for growing in frames in spring. 



We offer a splendid mixture containing 

 all the brilliant colors for which this strain 

 is famous. 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100, 



Double Fren'ch Hybrid R.^.nunculus 



Snowdrops 



(Calanthus) 



The charming Snowdrop is the 

 first of all flowers to herald the 

 approach of spring. It can fre- 

 quently 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 Scilla Sibirica a matchless 

 effect can be produced. As the 

 bulbs are small they should be 

 planted lilierally in order to 

 obtain immediate results. 

 Banks, grassy slopes, edging or 

 Rockwork | will suit all these 

 bulbs. They should not be dis- 

 turbed often if a fine display is 

 desired. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 

 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



Snowdrops 



Prepared Bulb Fibre 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs and house plants in, 

 and is especially adapted for use in the home, being clean and odorless, and as it 

 is light in weight, can be sent to a distance at small expense. 



It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of bulbous and other 

 plants. 



Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted in the 

 same way as if soil were used. A special feature of this material is that bulbs can 

 be grown in it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other non-porous receptacles without 

 drainage. In such cases it is necessary to put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom 

 of each receptacle to take up any impurities, and after watering, the jardinieres or 

 dishes should be turned on their side to allow any surplus water to drain off. 



The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted in soil. 

 SO cts. per I peck; 75 cts. per peck; $2.50 per bushel. If wanted by Parcel 

 Post add 20 cts. per peck. 



NOTE — Bulbs, Roots or Plants will be sent by Parcel Post if remittance is made to cover postage and special packing as noted on 

 the order blank and inside of front cover of this catalogue.
