Single Snowdrops 



SCILLAS 



(Squills) 



Sibirica. This is one of the prettiest of early spring-blooming bulbs, of dwarf habit, 

 with sprays of exquisite rich blue flowers. Grown in masses, in conjunction with 

 Crocus, especially the yellow variety, Chionodoxas and Snowdrops, the effect is 

 charming. Valuable for edging, and a dozen bulbs in a 5-inch pot makes a pretty 

 effect when grown indoors. 65 cts. per doz.; S4.50 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 

 Campanulata {Spanish Blue-bell, or Wood Hyacinth). A beautiful spring-flowering 

 bulb; spikes or bell-shaped flowers, fine for naturalizing in the woods, etc.; perfectly 

 hardy and requires no further care when once planted. This is one of the few things 

 that will thrive under pine trees. We offer them in separate colors and in mixture 

 as under. Doz. 100 1000

Trillium (Wood Lily or Wake Robin ) 



Grandiflorum. Excellent plants for shady positions in the hardy border, or in a sub- 

 aquatic position. Large white flowers in early spring. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; 

 $8.00 per 100. 



ZephyrantheS (Zephyr Flowers, or Fairy Lilies) 



Beautiful dwarf bulbous plants, somewhat resembling the Crocus in appearance; 

 very effective for planting in the border in May, flowering with great profusion during the 

 summer. They are also most suitable for pot culture. 6 bulbs clustered in a 6-inch pot 

 in the autumn will give a fine display during the winter and spring. Ready in October. 

 Alba. Pure white, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 

 Rosea. Large rose-colored flowers. 20 cts. each; S2.00 per doz. 



Prepared Bulb Fibre 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs and house plants in, and is 

 especially adapted for use in the home, being clean and odorless, and as it is light in 

 weight, can be sent to a distance at small expense. 



It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of bulbous and other 

 plants. 



Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted in the same way 

 as if soil were used. A special feature of this material is that bulbs can be grown in it in 

 jardinieres, fern dishes and other non-porous receptacles without drainage. In such 

 cases it is necessary to put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom of each receptacle to 

 take up any impurities, and after watering, the jardinieres or dishes should be turned on 

 their side to allow any surplus water to drain off. 



The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted in soil. 

 50 cts. per | peck; 75 cts. per peck; $2.50 per bushel. If wanted by Parcel Post, add 20 

 cts. per peck. 



Prices on bulbs at the each, dozen, and 100 rates include delivery charges by Parcel Post or Express to any point within the 

 United States. Forwarding charges at 1,000 rates at customers' expense.
