Ornithogalum Arabicum 



Ornithogalum Arabicum 



(Arabian Star of Bethlehem) 

 A very showy and distinct species, bearing 

 racemes of white flowers with a black centre, 

 having a sweet aromatic odor; grows 1 to 2 feet 

 in height, and succeeds in cold_ frames or in 

 sheltered locations outdoors in the vicinity of 

 Philadelphia. Also excellent for forcing, and 

 of the easiest cultivation. (See cut.) 12 cts. 

 each; $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Ornithogalum Lacteum 



(Darling Chinkerichee) 



This variety of recent introduction from 

 South Africa has been given much publicity on 

 account of its wonderful keeping qualities. It 

 is claimed that a spike blooms for 100 days 

 from the opening of the first flowers. Forces 

 very readily, therefore should become popular 

 for growing in pots or pans during the winter 

 and early spring months. The blooms are pure 

 white and are borne on stems 1J to 2 feet high 

 bearing 50 and more blooms. Can readily be 

 grown in cold frames or outdoors at Phila- 

 delphia if protected. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per 

 doz.; $10.00 per hundred. 



Ranunculus 



These beautiful flowering bulbs delight in a cool, moist atmosphere, and' will repay 

 extra care in cultivation. The curious tooth-like bulb may be kept out of the ground 

 without injury for a long time, and if planted in spring in a cool, shady situation will 

 generally give satisfactory results. They are also desirable for pot culture and for grow- 

 ing in frames in spring. Also suitable fos rockeries in a mild climate. 

 Double French Hybrids. A splendid mixture containing all the brilliant colors 



for which this strain is famous. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 

 Florentine . Very similar to the French mixed in colors, but more desirable because 



of its very large flowers. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



Scillas (Squiiis) 



(Excellent for Rock Gardens) 



Sibirica. One of the prettiest of early spring-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. 

 Mammoth bulbs, 70 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Campanulata {Spanish Blue-bell, or Wood 

 Hyacinth). A beautiful spring-flowering 

 bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flow T ers, fine for 

 naturalizing in the woods, etc.; perfectly 

 hardy and requires no further care when 

 once planted. This is one of the few things 

 that will thrive under pine trees. We offer 

 them in separate colors and in mixture as 

 under.

 matchless effect can be produced, also 

 excellent in the rock garden. 50 cts. per 

 doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000.
