 fully marked with other shades. They flower profusely in ppts in 

 the house during the winter or if grown in frames in the spring.

 brightest shades. They are tigered, blotched, spotted, streaked and 

 flushed in the most diverse and pleasing manner. The bulbs are 

 not hardy, but do exceptionally well when grown in the conservatory 

 or house in pots or in cold frames and flower during the winter and 

 spring. Sparaxis mixed colors, * doz. 15c, 25c. doz., 81.50 per 100. 



SCILLAS. 



WOOD HYACINTHS AND BLUE BELLS. 



Scilla Sibirica. (Amoena or Praecox.) Most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, pro- 

 ducing 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. (.See cut.) Large 

 cultivated bulbs, \ doz. 15c, 25c doz., 81.50 per 100. 812.00 per 1000.

 be extensively planted; they are also fine for forcing. 20c doz.. 81.25 per 1U0. 

 810.00 per 1000.

SNOWDROPS. 



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 Chionodoxia, or by intermingling them. In beds of Tulips and 

 Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective 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. Snow- 

 drops are easily flowered in pots during the winter. 



Single Snowdrops. Largest bulbs, 15c per doz., 81.00 per 100, 88.00 per 1000. 

 Double Snowdrops. Largest bulbs, J doz. 20c, 35c per doz., $2.25 per 100.

size of the ordinary single Snowdrop; flowers slightly marked with green spots; 



fine for cutting. First size bulbs, 18c doz.. $1.25 per 100, 89.00 per 1000. 



Extra Large Bulbs, 25c doz., $1.50 per 100, $12.00 per 1000. 



SPRING SNOWFLAKE. 



(.Leucojum Vernum.) 



Produces flowers like monster snowdrops; very graceful in growth, having 

 the delicate fragrance of the Violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, with 

 white blossoms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline and prized for bouquets. 

 They should be grown in quantities in the borders or in spots on the edges of shrub- 

 bery, where they are beautifully effective and when established produce enormous 

 quantities of flowers. Thev can also be slowly forced in pots for winter bloom. 

 Largest bulbs, i doz. 15c. 25c. doz.. $1.75 per 100. $12.00 per 1000
