Grape Hyacinths 



Grape Hyacinths 



When naturalized in little colonies where they can remain undisturbed far several years, the effect 

 is very striking — while grown as edgings to other beds they are charming. They are also adapted 

 for winter flowering in the house. (See illustration.)

border. 40c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $27.50 per 1000. 



Ixias 



The Ixia is a beautiful little winter-flowering bulb, with long, slender, graceful spikes of bloom. 

 The colors are rich, varied and beautiful, the centre always differing in color from the other parts 

 of the flower, so that the blossoms, expanding in the sun's rays, present a picture of gorgeous beauty.

 ance for weeks is astonishing. The flowers are of the purest bright buttercup yellow. 40c

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 Snow- 

 drops in the centre edged with bright blue 

 Scilla Siberica, or Chionodoxias, or by inter- 

 mingling them. 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.

Winter Aconite 



(Eranthis Hyemalis) 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the 

 Winter Aconite appear resting on an emerald- 

 green cushion of leaves. The foliage remains 

 long after the flowers, making the plant 

 especially valuable in moist situations such as 

 under trees where the Winter Aconite thrives.
