Chionodoxa (Clory of the Snow) 



Luciliae. One of the most beautiful of our spring-flowering bulbs, coming into flower 

 soon after the snow is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when once 

 planted requires no further care. Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color, with white 

 centre. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



Dielytra or Dicentra 



Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart, or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned favorite; its long race- 

 mes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; it is used largely for 

 forcing; and is perfectly at home in any part of the hardy border, and especially 

 valuable for planting in the shade. Strong clumps, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Eranthis Hvemalis (Winter Aconite) 



A pretty yellow flower, valuable for its early blooming and contrasting well with the 

 Snowdrops, which are the only flowers to keep it' company at the early season in which 

 it blooms. 45 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



This brilliant and universally admired spring flower will 

 thrive in any soil or situation, but to be brought to the 

 highest perfection it should be grown in an open bed or 

 border of deep, rich sandy loam. When planted in large 

 groups or lines of distinct color, the effect is very striking. 

 They are invaluable for pot culture. To secure a succession 

 of blooms commence planting early in October, 6 or 8 

 bulbs in a pot (the named varieties are best for this pur- 

 pose), using rich soil and planting about half an inch deep. 

 They can also be grown in saucers or bowls, in prepared 

 bulb fibre or in water and pebbles, in the same way as the 

 Chinese Sacred Lily. For complete cultural notes see our 

 book, "Hints on the Growitig of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts.; 

 or sent free to customers if asked for at time of ordering.
