IXIA

MUSCARI 



(Grape Hyacinth) 



Every garden should have a few of these little plants with their straight slender spikes of tiny "grapes." 

 They are very hardy, will grow almost anywhere, and increase rapidly, flowering more freely as they become 

 established. For a charming picture, plant them in masses among the late flowering tulips, especially the 

 pinks and the yellows. 



Set the bulbs two to three inches deep in any ordinary 

 garden soil. For indoor flowering four to six bulbs in a 

 five-inch pot will make a fine showing. 

 HEAVENLY BLUE "Heavenly" in fragrance as well as in 



color. The largest flowered and most desirable of all the 



Muscari. Bright sky blue. Height about eight inches.

ARAB I CUM Tall spikes bear loose clusters of cheery ^

 Hyacinths. 8c each; 80c per dozen; $6.00 per 100. 



PEONIES ^ 



Peonies are valuable both for their flowers and their - 

 foliage. Planted at intervals in the border with other \ 



flowers, or grouped by themselves, they are usually more ' ^^ -^^M 



effective than as single specimens on a lawn. The blossoms | '^^^ 



are more gorgeous than those of any other perennial. 

 Many varieties are deliciously rose-fragrant. 



Peonies need deep rich soil and plenty of water during 

 the flowering season. Cover the crowns with about two 

 inches of soil when planting the roots. tp v. i ^
