SNOWDROPS 



Snowdrops are the first blossoms of Spring, 

 bringing graceful greetings of the flowers 

 and verdure that are to come. They can be 

 planted in groups and left undisturbed for 

 years, coming forth annually with renewed 

 strength and beauty. They are also exqui- 

 sitely pretty planted singly in the grass, their 

 foliage being sufficiently matured to cut 

 without injury to the bulbs by the time the 

 lawn is ready to be mown.

RANUNCULUS 



FAIR MAIDS 

 OF FRANCE. 



These beautiful dwarf-grov/ing bulbous plants have become very 

 popular in this country. They are perfectly hardy in open ground 

 south of Washington, D. C. In the North they should be protected 

 outdoors with leaves or similar litter during Winter. They are easily 

 grown both in pots in the house and in open ground, and are equally 

 desirable for either purpose. The plants are sturdy growers, their 

 habit of growth being the best. They produce a wonderful profusion 

 of large double flowers, an idea of which can be gathered from our 

 illustration. The flowers embrace the gayest and most brilliant colors, 

 such as white, crimson, orange, purple, variegated, etc. Every one 

 should possess a few bulbs of this charming family, as they will pro- 

 duce most pleasing results. We have imported an extra fine lot, 

 which cannot fail to please.
