CHIONODOXA. 



GLORY OF THE SNOW. 



These are among the most exquisite of spring-flowering 

 bulbs, and should be grown in quantities. They produce 

 flower spikes bearing 10 to 15 lovely Scilla-like flowers. 

 They are perfectly hardy, and may be planted as an edging 

 to a bed. or in masses; naturalized in the lawn they are charm- 

 ing; they flower with the Snowdrops and last a long time in 

 perfection. They will thrive well in any good garden soil, 

 and are admirable for pot culture, for winter blooming in the 

 house, and for forcing, for cut flowers. (See cut.) 



Remember that our Chionodoxa bulbs are large cultivated 

 bulbs that will throw up several spikes bearing several flowers 

 on each not the collected " seconds " that can be sold at a

Giant Persian Cyclamen. 



These are among our most beautiful and interesting 

 winter and spring-flowering bulbs for the window and 

 greenhouse. Not only are the flowers of striking beauty 

 but the foliage is also highly ornamental, consequently 

 they are very decorative even when not in bloom. 

 There are no plants better adapted for pot culture, and 

 few that produce such a profusion of bloom; the flowers 

 range through many shades of pink, crimson, white, etc., 

 some being beautifully spotted. Most of them are, more- 

 over, delicately fragrant. Our bulbs are from the most 

 famous Cyclamen grower in Europe and will produce flowers 

 of rare merit. 

 The flowers of this magnificent giant strain are of extra- 

 ordinary size for a Cyclamen, and of great substance. The 

 leaves are proportionately large and beautifully marked. 

 We offer the following separate colors, viz.: 

 Rose Color, White or Crimson, at 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.. or de- 

 livered $2.15 per doz. 

 New Salmon, Colored, beautiful. 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 

 Mixed Colors, Giant Persian Cyclamen, 18c. each, $1.75 

 per doz., or delivered, $1.90 per doz. 



new iant Butterfly Cyclamen. 



This new type (C. Rococo) produces very large flowers 

 with fringed and fluted edgis being further distinguished by 

 coloring differing from that of the body of the flower, as 

 white with red or purple edge, rose with scarlet edge, crim- 

 son with garnet or violet edge, etc. The color of the eye or 

 base of the flower usually corresponds with the marginal 

 color. Mixed Colors, each 30c; $3.00 doz.; or delivered, 

 $3.25 per doz. 



Dielytra, or ' 'Bleeding Heart." 



One of the most ornamental of hardy spring-flowering 

 plants, with elegant green foliage and long drooping racemes 

 of heart-shaped pink and white flowers. This is deemed one 

 of the finest of all hardy garden plants. If potted in Novem- 

 ber, left outside till it has formed new roots and then brought 

 into a gentle heat, it may be had in flower in the greenhouse 

 in February and March. (Ready in Xo.ember.) 

 Dielytra Spectabilis. Large flowering roots. 20c. each, 



$2.00 per"doz., or delivered 25c. each. $2.50 doz.
