Tuberoses Donble Flowering. 



Ranunculus. 



Scilla Peruviana. 



Ranunculus. Double Flowering. The 

 roots can be planted during fall and winter, 

 either in the open ground or in pots. The 

 French varieties are more robust than the 

 Persian, and flowers are larger. The ground 

 should be rather dry, and if planted in the 

 open ground it wili be well to have the 

 spot a little higher than the bed or border. 

 French Ranunculus, 25c. per dozen. 



Scilla Peruviana. These are green- 

 house bulbs at the North, but here they are 

 hardy, and do well in the open ground. 

 There are two varieties— the blue and the

Lilium Auratum. 



white. They throw up a shoot, on the end 

 of which the flowers appear, forming a 

 truss. Plant from October till January; 20 

 cents each. 



Tulips. Double and single. Tulips thrive 

 better in a more northern latitude than this, 

 but some years they flower well here, and 

 as they are cheap, a few flowering bulbs 

 will pay the small amount they cost. They 

 should not be planted later than January, 

 and placed very shallow in the ground; not 

 more than one-third of the bulb should be 

 covered. When near flowering they require 

 a good deal of moisture. Single and double 

 50c. per dozen. 



Tuberoses- Double Flowering. They 

 are ornamental for the garden, and very 

 valuable for making bouquets, on account 

 of their pure white color and great fra- 

 grance. Plant during the spring months. 

 Strong bulbs, 5c. each; 50c. per dozen.
