SCILLAS. SQUILLS AND WOOD HYACINTHS. 



Scilla Amoena, Sibirica or Praecox. This is one of our most beautiful hardy spring 

 bulbs, producing in profusion clusters of exquisite rich blue flowers almost before the 

 snow has disappeared. If grown in masses, their flowers fairly carpet the ground ; 

 and if grown with Snowdrops and Crocuses, for contrast, the effect is magnificent. 

 Grown in pots they may be had in bloomfromChristmasuntil April. ..Perl, 000, $10.00 



Bifolia. Most beautiful bright blue flowers borne on short spikes. These should be 

 extensively planted. They are also fine for forcing $8.00 per 1,000 



Peruviana, or Clusii. {Peruvian Hyacinth.) Very beautiful; blooming rather late in 

 the spring, bearing large pyramidal spikes of rich blue flowers, which remain in bloom 

 along time; beautiful objects when grown in pots. Not hardy 



SCILLA CAMPANULATA. wood hyacinth, or blue bells. 



Flowers borne on tall spikes, 1 to 2 feet high. Each flower measures nearly 1 inch 

 across and droops gracefully ; perfectly hardy, also fine for pots. 



Campanulata, Blue 



Campanulata, While 



Campanulata, Rose 



SNOWDROPS. (Seepage®.) 



SPARAXIS. Beautiful, flowers about 2 inches across, borne on long graceful spikes; 

 the colors are of the most telling combinations and of the brightest shades. They are 

 tigered, blotched, spotted, streaked and flushed in the most diverse and pleasing 

 manner. The bulbs are not hardy but do exceptionally well when grown in the conser- 

 vatory or house in pots or in cold frames, and flower during the winter and spring. 

 Mixed Colors 



SPIRAEA, (See page 29.) 



STERNBERGIA LUTEA. One of the most charming and useful of autumnal 

 flowering bulbs. The large pure yellow flowers, which are produced from September 

 to November, are much like a Crocus, but larger, and the petals more fleshy; very 

 hardy and increase rapidly 



TRILLIUM. GREAT AMERICAN WOOD LILY. Most beautiful American plants, 

 perfectly hardy, growing and flowering profusely in partially shaded nooks about the 

 lawn, under trees, etc. If grown several in a pot it makesoneofthebestwinterflowers. 



Grandiflorum Album. The flowers are large, of the finest white, changing in a few 

 days to soft rose 



Sessile Californicum. A beautiful variety with mottled foliage. Flower pure white... 



Grandiflorum Roseum. A new pink variety. This is one of the largest and most 

 beautiful of the American Wood Lilies. The flowers are large, often 5 inches across, 

 of a bright rosy-pink, changing as they age to deep wine-red 



TRITELEIA. UNIFLORA. (Spring Star Flower.) A perfect little gem for pot cul- 

 ture. It flowers in very earlyspring months. The bulbs are small and several should 

 be grown in a pot ; it grows about 6 to 8 inches high, each bulb producing several 

 pretty star-shaped flowers of a delicate milky-white, suffused with blue, and emits the 

 perfume of Primroses; they are perfectly hardy and grown in quantities in a sunny 

 border or for edgings they are very effective 



TYDAEAi Very distinct plants of the Gesnera family, producing a long and brilliant 

 succession of flowers of the most diverse shades and gay-colored markings. They are 

 valuable for winter flowering in a warm greenhouse or conservatory, as by starting 

 them early or late, they will bloom in any season 



VALLOTA PURPUREA. (The Scarborough Lily.) A most beautiful and 

 free summer and autumn-blooming Amaryllis-like bulbous plant that produces strong 

 spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers. They are splendid for pot culture in window 

 gardens and conservatories. If several bulbs are planted in a 10-inch pot or tub, 

 they form highly decorative groups for piazza and lawn. We have frequently seen 

 such a potful bearing 20 to 25 spikes, each carrying 5 to 8 flowers at one time. For 

 best results the bulbs should be allowed to grow undivided and undisturbed as long 

 as possible. When budding and flowering, manure water will prove very beneficial. 

 The bulbs maybe planted in open ground in May, and be potted in the fall, if preferred 



ZEPHYRANTHES. Among our most beautiful dwarf bulbous plants; very 

 effective for planting out in masses in May, flowering with great profusion during the 

 summer. They are also most suitable for pot culture; 6 to 12 bulbs clustered in a 

 C-ineh pot in the autumn will give a fine display of bloom during the winter in the 

 window garden or conservatory. 1 foot high. 



Atamasco. White suffused with flesh-pink, hardy 



Candida. Large white flowers. 



Rosea. Beautiful, large rose-colored flowers .,... 



Sulphurea. Bright yellow :..........
