Double French Hybrid Ranunculus 



These beautiful dwarf-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 growine in frames in spring. 



We offer a splendid mixture containing all the brilliant colors 

 for which this strain is famous. 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



Single Snowdrops 



Snowdrops (Calanthus) 



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 matcWess 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 Rockwork will suit all these bulbs. They 

 should not be disturbed often if a fine display is desired. 50 cts. per doz.; 

 S3. SO per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



Prepared Bulb Fibre 



This material has become very popular for growing bulbs and house 

 plants in, and is especially adapted for use in the home, being clean and 

 odorless, and as it is light in weight, can be sent to a distance at small 

 expense. 



It contains all the necessary plant food for almost all kinds of bulbous 

 and other plants. 



Before using it should be thoroughly moistened, and the bulbs planted 

 in the same way as if soil were used. A special feature of this material 

 is that bulbs can be grown in it in jardinieres, fern dishes and other 

 non-porous receptacles without drainage., In such cases it is necessary 

 to put a few pieces of charcoal in the bottom of each receptacle to take 

 up any impurities, and after watering, the jardinieres or dishes should 

 be turned on their side to allow any surplus water to drain off. 



The treatment after planting in this material is the same as when planted 

 in soil. 50 cts. per i peck; 75 cts. per peck; S2.50 per bushel. If wanted 

 by Parcel Post add 20 cts. per peck. 



NOTE— Bulbs, RootB or Plants will be sent by Parcel Post if remittance is made to cover postage and special packing as noted on 

 the order blank and inside of front cover of this catalogue.
