 blooming bulbs, of dwarf habit, with sprays of exquisite rich blue 

 flowers. Grown in masses, in conjunction with Crocus, particularly the 

 yellow variety, Chionodoxas and Snowdrops, the effect is charming.

 effect when grown indoors. 20 cts. per doz.; $1.00 per lt)0; $8.50

Snowdrops 



SciLLA Sibirica 



SNOWDROPS 



(Galanthus) 

 The charming Snowdrop is the first of 

 all flowers to herald the approach of 

 spring. It can frequently be seen in 

 bloom when the ground is white with 

 snow, as it takes every advantage, and 

 hastens to display its graceful snow-white 

 bells before the winter has disappeared. 

 In conjunction with Chionodoxas and 

 Scilla Sibirica a matchless effect can be 

 produced. As the bulbs are small they 

 should be planted liberally in order to 

 obtain immediate results. Banks, grassy 

 slopes, edging or rock- work will suit all 

 these bulbs. They should not be dis- 

 turbed often if a fine display is desired. 

 It is possible to grow these in pots in the 

 house. A dozen bulbs will fill a 5-inch 

 pot. They will not stand forcing, doing 

 best in a low temperature.
