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, 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. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $3,'5.00 

 per 1000. 



Caiupanulata (Spanish Blue-bell or Wood Hyacinth). A beautiful spring- 

 flowering bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers in blue, white and rose; 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:

Splreeas 



As a pot plant for the cool con- 

 servatory or window garden this is 

 one of the most satisfactory and 

 easiest to grow. Also very desirable 

 for the hardy border, blooming out- 

 doors in June, and prefer a partially 

 shaded position. 



America. Lilac-rose, with large 

 featheiy flower spikes and beauti- 

 ful foliage; one of the finest of the 

 delicate colored sorts. 



Gladstone. This grand variety is 

 the favorite pure white. 



Peach Blossom. Peach blossom 

 pink with red stamens and light 

 green foliage. 



Princess Mary. The deepest rose- 

 pink yet introduced, a strong vig- 

 orous grower and free bloomer. 



Queen Alexandra. A beautiful 

 soft pink variety. 



Price. Any of the above in strong 

 clumps, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per 

 dozen.

(Zephyr Flowers, or Fairy Lilies)

 bling the Crocus in appearance; very eft'ective 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.

Prepared Bulb Fibre 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs 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 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 btflbs can be grown in it in 

 jardinieres, fern dishes and other non-porous recepsacles without drainage. In such cates 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 J peck; 75 cts. per peck; $2.50 per bushel. If wanted by Parcel Post add 

 20 cts. per peck. 



NOTE. — All Bulbs, Roots and Plants are forwarded by Express, purchaser paying charges. If wanted by Parcel Post add 10 per 

 cent, to value of order to points east of the Mississippi River, and 20 per cent, to points west of the Mississippi River.
