These are among 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. Looks best when planted in lines or clumps 

 of 2-5 or more bulbs.

DREKR'S GIANT CYCI.AMEN 



There are few winter-flowering bulbs more atttractive than the Cyclamen, being an 

 ideal plant either for greenhouse or window decoration. The Giant strain here offered 

 is of robust growth, throwing the large flowers well above the handsome foliage. It 

 is often a hard matter to get dry bulbs started into growth. We therefore send out 

 only nicely started plants, which we feel sure will produce better results. We can 

 furnish any of the following colors in thrifty plants in 4-inch pots. 



White, Rose, Salmon, Blood=red and White with Carmine Eye. 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 



Dielytra^ or Dicentra 



Spectabilis {Bleeding Heart, Seal Flower, 

 or Lyre Flower). An old-fashioned favorite, 

 equally well adapted for forcing as for planting 

 in the open border, its long racemes of graceful 

 heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive. 

 (Ready in November.) 20 cts. each; $2.00 

 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Eranthis Hyemalis 



only flowers to keep it company at the early 

 per doz.; $1.00 per 100; $8.00 per 1000. 



Chionodoxa 



ERANTHIS 



HYEMAI^IS 



(Winter Aconite) 

 The Winter Aconite is a 

 pretty yellow flower, valua- 

 ble for its early blooming and 

 contrasting well with the 

 Snowdrops, which are the 

 season in which it blooms. 20 cts. 



Eremurus RoBtlSTUS

Beautiful hardy plants, especially suited to moist, shady situations; the leaves 

 are handsomely variegated, flower stems about a foot high, bearing lily-like 

 blossoms of different colors; does well in pots; mixed varieties. 25 cts. per 

 doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.00 per 1000. 



EREMURUS 



' RobustUS. A noble and rare bulbous plant from Turkestan, and one of the 

 choicest subjects for the permanent hardy border. They thrive best in a 

 well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, and prefer a deep, sandy loam, to 

 which has been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted cow manure. A cov- 

 ering of 4 or 5 inches of leaves or litter will be beneficial and save the young 

 shoots, which start early, and are liable to be damaged by late frosts. It 

 produces immense flower stems, 6 to 10 feet high, bearing a dense raceme of 

 flesh pink flowers, each nearly 2 inches across. (See cut.) Extra strong 

 flowering roots (ready in October). $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz. 

 Himalaicus. Another noble variety from the temperate Himalayan mountains, 

 4 to 8 feet high. Raceme nearly 2 feet long, of lovely pure white flowers, 

 as large as a fifty-cent piece. This is perhaps the hardiest and easiest grown 

 of this magnificent genvis. Strong flowering roots (ready in October), 75 cts. 

 each; $7.50 per doz.
