BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTIIXC 7 ^ 



Eranthis Hyemalis. 



(WINTER ACONITE.) 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite 

 look charming, 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. 20c. doz.; $1.00 per 100; or delivered $1.25 

 per 100. 



Erythronium. 



(DOG'S TOOTH VIOLETS.) 



Beautiful plants, perfectly hardy, the foliage is usually 

 charmingly variegated, and a mass of 15 or 20 plants is a 

 pretty sight even when not in flower, but when the graceful 

 flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants 

 luxuriate in rather moist, partially shady positions and do 

 very nicely when grown in pots for winter blooming. 



Americanum. The native yellow Dog's Tooth Violet. 

 12c. each; $1.25 doz.; S9.00 per 100; or delivered $10 per

 exceedingly pretty when grown in large groups in the garden 

 border or wild garden in a dry situation. Mixed Varieties, 

 25c. doz.; S1.50 per 100; or delivered $1.75 per 100. 



H ENDERSON'S SUPERIOR FREESIAS. 



Freesias are most popular and charming bulbs for pot culture, flowering in the winter and 

 spring in the conservatory, or window garden; 6 or 8 bulbs should be planted in a 4-inch pot. 

 They force readily and can be had in bloom by Christmas if desired, and by having a dozen or 

 more pots started in the cold frame they can be brought in at intervals, thereby keeping up a 

 continuous display of bloom through the winter; the flowers are produced 6 to 8 on stems about 

 9 inches high, and are particularly useful for cutting, remaining in good condition kept in water 

 for two weeks. (See cut page 41.) 

 Refracta Alba. The flowers are pure white with a yellow blotched throat and are exquisitely 



fragrant. Large Bulbs, 25c. doz.; $1.50 per 100; or delivered $1.60 per 100. Mammoth

 and their free blooming qualities. Each principal spike usually carries 

 7 to 9 flowers — while the side spikes of which each bulb produces several 

 usually bear 5 to 6 flowers. Their culture differs in no way from that 

 of Freesias Refracta.
