PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— MISCELLANEOUS BULBS.

SCHIZOSTYLIS. ?°? cin i a 



(Crimson Flagor Kaffir 

 ily.) A very pretty, half-hardy 

 bulbous plant; the leaves are neat and glossy, and the flowers 

 are rosy scarlet, borne on tall spikes; the bulbs are usually 

 planted out in spring, and in the autumn the plants are lifted, 

 potted and brought into the conservatory, where it will bloom for 

 months; splendid for cut flowers 



C(~*|l I AC Amoena or Sibirica Prsecox. Among our 

 »JWlI-.I-«fA*_»« most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, producing in 

 profusion masses of exquisite rich blue flowers almost before the 

 snow has disappeared. If grown in masses, their flowers fairly 

 carpet the ground; and if grown with Snowdrops and Crocuses, 

 for contrast, the effect is magnificent. Grown in pots they may 

 be had in bloom from Christmas until April 



Bifolia. Most beautiful bright blue flowers borne on short spikes; 

 these should be extensively planted; they are also fine, forforcing.. 



Peruviana or Clusii. (Peruvian Hyacinth.) Very beautiful; 

 blooming rather late in the spring, bearinglargepyramidal spikes 

 of rich blue flowers, which remain in bloomalong time; beautiful 

 objects when grown in pots. Not hardy 10c. each. 



Campanulata ( Wood Hyacinth.) Flowers borne on tall spikes, 

 one to two feet high. Each flower measures nearly one inch 

 across and droops gracefully, perfectly hardy, also fine for pots.

^NOWnPOP^ ln the earl y spring months there is 

 tJi'yyj TV UI\V/ro. nothing more beautiful than a sheet of 

 the snowy graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop. Effects of sur- 

 passing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre, 

 edged with bright blue Seilla Sibirica, or Chionodoxa Luciliae, or 

 by intermingling them. When practicable such plantings of the 

 Snowdrop should be permanent. The Snowdrop and the Crocus 

 when planted in alternate circles are very effective and follow each 

 other in bloom so closely that no gap is left in the succession. 

 Used as a permanent edging and in masses on the edges of lawns, 

 nestling in the grass, they are charming. (See cut.) 



Single Snowdrops 



Double Snowdrops 4c. each. 



Elwes' Giant Snowdrop One of the finest of the genus, at 

 least three times the size of the ordinary single Snowdrop, flowers 

 slightly marked with green spots ; very fine for cutting and 

 slightly sweet-scented 



King' of Snowdrops. (Galanthus Cassaba-Robusta.) A new 

 introduction and one of the best in the genus. The foliage is 

 large, the growth robust and taller than others. The flowers are 

 immense for a Snowdrop, having sepals over an inch long and 

 rather broad, pure white, with intense dark green inner divisions; 

 the flower stems are thick and upright, and fine for cutting; the 

 bulbs are large. (See cut.) 4c. each. 



Exceedingly large and beautiful, blooms 

 about two inches across, of the most telling 

 combinations and of the brightest shades of color, certain to 

 please even the most fastidious ; they are tigered, blotched, spot- 

 ted, streaked and flushed in the most diverse and pleasing manner. 

 They are not hardy but do exceptionally well when grown in the 

 conservatory or house in pots or in cold frames. (See cut.) 



Angelique. White with yellow eye 



Bliderdijk. Rose, spotted dark red 



Grandinora. Crimson with yellow centre 



Minerva. White and dark rose 



Queen Victoria. Blue, white and purple 



Tricolor. Orange, spotted red and white

monster snowdrops; very graceful in growth, having the delicate 

 fragrance of the Violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers 

 with white blossoms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline 

 and prized for bouquets. They should be grown in quantities in 

 the borders or in spots on the edges of shrubbery, where they are 

 beautifully effective, and when established produceenormous quan- 

 tities of flowers. They can also be slowly forced in pots for winter 

 bloom. (See cut.)
