Flowering Bulbs — Continued 
Grape Hyacinths 
These very curious and pretty little Hyacinths are perfectly hardy 
and of the easiest culture, they thrive and increase in either sunny or 
partially shaded positions in the garden. When naturalized in little 
colonies where they can remain undisturbed for several years, the effect 
— especially of the Grape Hyacinths — is very pretty, while as edgings 
they are most charming. They are also adapted for winter flowering 
in the house. (See enqravinq.)

1,000.

Crowns in the world for winter flowering. They will bear 12 to 16 large 
bells on strong stalks, with foliaqe, even when forced for extra early; 
the pips average large, plump and regular, with extra long roots. (See 
enqravinq.) 25 Crowns (1 bundle) $2.00; 100 Crowns, $7.00; $60.00 
per 1,000. 
Fortin's Giant. This is the largest variety yet produced; it is only- 
adapted for open ground planting and may nokshow much superiority 
the first spring after planting, but by the second season, or when it gets 
well established, it produces wonderfully luxuriant foliage and immense 
spikes of purest white bells. Crowns, $1.00 per doz. ; $7.50 per 100. 
profusely in pots in the house during the winter or if grown in frames 
in the spring. Remarkably vigorous growers with immense, and gor- 
geous, loosely double flowers. Double Giant French Mixed. 75c 
doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 
Scilla (Blue Bells) 
Scilla Siberica (Blue) . Most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, produc- 
ing in profusion masses of exquisite rich blue flowers almost before the 
snow has disappeared. If grown in masses, their flowers fairly carpet the 
ground; and if grown with Snowdrops and Crocus, for contrast the 
effect is magnificent. They should be largely planted as undergrowth 
in Hyacinth beds, etc. Grown in pots they may be had in bloom from 
Christmas until April. 75c. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1,000

Snowdrops 
Oxalis 
Charming little half-trailing or bushy plants particularly adapted for 
pot culture and hanging baskets, "the foliage alone is very attractive 
and when in flower they are exceedingly pretty. 
Bermuda Buttercup. This is one of the finest winter-flowering 
plants for pot culture, it is a strong luxuriant grower, and the great 
profusion of bloom produced in uninterrupted abundance for weeks is 
astomshing. The flowers are of the purest bright buttercup yellow. 
5c. each; 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Grand Duchess. A California variety of great beauty: of dwarf 
sturdy growth throwing large exquisite flowers well above the foliage.

White, Pink or Lavender. 5c. each; 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Ranunculus 
Among dwarf flowers these are unrivaled for form and attractive 
colors, ranging through shades of crimson, white, yellow, purple, black, 
many of them being beautifully marked with other shades. They flower 
In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a 
sheet of the snowy, graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects 
of surpassing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre 
edged with bright blue Scilla Sibirica, or Chionodoxias, or by interming- 
ling them. In beds of Tulips and Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effec- 
tive between the lines: they flower while these bulbs are just moving 
the surface, and when the flowers are over there remains an elegant 
groundwork of green foliage. Used as a permanent edging, and in 
masses on the edges of lawns, nestling in the grass, they look charming. 
Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots during the winter. (See enqravinq. ) 
Single Snowdrops. 50c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1,000. 
Double Snowdrops. 80c. per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 1,000. 
Elwes' Giant Snowdrop. One of the finest of the genus, at least 
three times the size of the ordinary single Snowdrop; flowers slightly 
marked with green spots; fine for cutting. 60c. per doz. ; $4 00 per 100: 
$35.00 per 1,000. 
Winter Aconite {Erantkis Hyemalis) 
Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look charm- 
ing, resting on an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking 
contrast to the Snowdrop, Scillas and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains 
long after the flowers, making the plant especially valuable in moist 
situations such as under trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys and 
where few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high. 35c. per 
doz.; $2.50 per 100.
