•PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK 



ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM 



STAR OF BETHELEHEM 



A beautiful variety, throwing up a tall spike bearing numerous large, 

 milk-white, star-shaped flowers, with a black centre, and having a dis- 

 tinct aromatic perfume. They are decidedly pretty and interesting when 

 grown in the garden — but are more largely grown for greenhouses and 

 window decoration, being of the easiest culture. Largely forced by 

 florists now for cut flowers. 35c. doz.; $2.50 per 100 or delivered $3.00 

 per 100. 



PANCKATIUM. calathinum. 



Robust-growing, bulbous plants, producing handsome clusters of 

 large, fragrant white flowers on tall, stiff stems. They are admirably 

 adapted for pot culture, flowering during the late winter months, or 

 the bulbs can be kept warm and dry; and planted out in the garden in 

 the middle of May; they will then commence flowering in July. 12c. 

 each; $1.25 doz.; or delivered 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 



PUSCHKINIA. SCILLIOIDES. 



A hardy bulbous plant of great beauty, flowers white striped with 

 pale blue, on spikes. It succeeds well in pots for winter blooming, and 

 is admirably adapted for edgings and forming patches in front or mixed 

 borders, flowering in April and May. Height, 4 to 8 inches. 25c. doz.; 

 $1.50 per 100 or delivered $1.75 per 100. 



RANUNCULUS 



Among dwarf flowers these are unrivaled for lovely form and bright 

 attractive colors, ranging through gorgeous shades of crimson, 

 white, yellow, purple, black, many of them being beautifully marked 

 with other shades. They flower profusely in pots in the house during 

 the winter or if grown in frames in the spring. 

 Double Turban, Mixed Colors. Peony-formed flowers, large and early, 



vivid colors and compactly double. 20c. doz.; $1.25 per 100; or 



delivered $1.50 per 100. 

 Double Giant French, Mixed. Remarkably vigorous growers with im- 

 mense and gorgeous, loosely double flowers. 20c. doz.; $1.25 per 100, 



or delivered $1.50 per 100. 

 Double Persian, Mixed. Camellia or rose-shaped flowers, very double, 



rich variety of colors. 20c. doz.; $1.25 per 100; or delivered $1.50 



per 100. 



SCILLAS 



Wood Hyacinths and Blue Bells 



Scilla Sibirica. (Amoena or Praecox.) Most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, pro- 

 ducing 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 Crocus, for contrast, the effect is magnificent. 

 They should be largely planted as undergrowth in Hyacinth beds, etc. Grown 

 in pots they may be had in bloom from Christmas until April. (See cut.) Large 

 cultivated bulbs, 20c. doz.; $1.00 per 100; $8.00 per 1000; or delivered $9.00 per 

 1000. 



Sibirica Alba. The new white flowering variety, very beautiful. 25c. doz.; $1.50 

 per 100; $12.00 per 1000 or delivered $13.00 per 1000. 



Bi folia. Most beautiful bright blue flowers borne on short spikes; these should 

 be extensively planted; they are also fine for forcing. 20c. doz.; $1.25 per 100; 

 $9.00 per 1000; or delivered $10.00 per 1000. 



Campanulata. (Wood Hyacinth.) Flowers borne on tall spikes, 1 to 2 feet high, 

 Each flower measures nearly one inch across and droops gracefully; perfectly 

 hardy; also fine for pot culture. We offer the following colors: 



Campanulata, Major, Blue. 20c. doz.; $1.00 per 100; or del'd. $1.25 per 100. 



Campanulata, White. 25c. doz.; $1.50 per 100; or delivered $1.75 per 100. 



Campanulata, Rose. 25c. doz.; $1.50 per 100; or delivered $1,75 per 100. 



SNOWDROPS 



In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a sheet of the 

 snowy, graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects of surpassing beauty 

 may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre, edged with bright blue Scilla 

 Sibirica, or Chionodoxia Lucila, or by intermingling them. In beds of Tulips and 

 Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective between the lines; they flower while these 

 bulbs are just moving the surface, and when the flowers are over there remains 

 ah elegant groundwork of green foliage. Used as a permanent edging, and in 

 masses on the edges of lawns, nestling in the grass, they look charming. Snow- 

 drops are easily flowered in pots during the winter. 

 Single Snowdrops. Largest bulbs, 15c. per doz.; $1.00 per 100; $7.00 per 1000; or 



delivered $7.50 per 1000. M 



Double Snowdrops. Largest bulbs, 30c. per doz.; $2.00 per 100. 

 EUves' Giant Snowdrop. One of the finest of the genus, at least Khree times the 



size of the ordinary single Snowdrop; flowers slightly' marked with green spots; 



fine for cutting. Largest bulbs, 20c. per doz.; $1.25 per 100; $8.00 per 1000; or 



delivered $9,00 per 1000. 



SPRING SNOWFLAKE 



(Leucojum Vernum.) 



Produces flowers like 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 bou- 

 quets. 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 produce 

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

 bloom. Largest bulbs, 25c. doz.; $1.50 per 100; or delivered $1.75 per 100.
