SPRING SNOWFLAKE. 



(Leucojum Vernum.) 



Produces flowers like monster snowdrops; very grace- 

 ful in growth, having the delicate fragrance of the Violet. 

 It is one of our earliest spring flowers, with white blos- 

 soms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline and 

 prized for bouquets. They should be grown in quanti- 

 ties in the borders or in spots on the edges of shrubbery, 

 where they are beautifully effective, and when estab- 

 lished produce enormous quantities of flowers. They 

 can also be slowly forced in pots for winter bloom. 

 3c. each. 30c. per doz., S2.00 per 100.

SCILLA SIBIRICA. 



SNOWDROPS. 



In the early spring months there is 

 nothing more beautiful than a sheet of 

 the snowy, graceful blossoms of the Snow- 

 drop. Beds and effects of surpassing 

 beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops 

 in the centre, edged with bright blue 

 Scilla Sibirica, or Chionodoxa Lucila, or 

 by intermingling them. When practic- 

 able, such plantings of the snowdrops 

 should be permanent. The Snowdrop 

 and the Crocus, when planted in alternate 

 circles, are very effective, and follow each 

 other so closely that no gap is left in the 

 succession. In beds of Tulips and Hya- 

 cinths, Snowdrops are very effective be- 

 tween the lines; they flower while these 

 bulbs are just moving the surface, and 

 when the flowers are over there remains 

 an elegant groundwork of green foliage. 

 Used as a permanent edging, and in masses 

 on the edges of lawns, nestling in the 

 grass, they look charming.

 single Snowdrop, flowers slightly marked with green spots, fine for cutting 

 (See cut.) 20c. perdoz.;S1.25per 100; SIO.OO per 1000 



SCILLAS, WOOD HYACINTHS AND BLUE BELLS. 



Sibirica. (Amaena or Praecox.) One of our most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, producing in profusion 

 masses 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 Crocus, for contrast, the 

 effect is magnificent. They should be largely planted as undergrowth in Hyacinth beds, etc. Grown 

 in pots they may be had in bloom from Christmas until April. (See cut.) 2 for 5c., 20c. per doz., 

 S1.25 per 100 810.00 per 1000.

 Campanulata. (.Wood Hyacinth.) Flowers borne on tall spikes, 1 to 2 feet high. Each flower meas- 

 ures nearly one inch across and droops gracefully, perfectly hardy; also fine for pot culture. We 

 offer the following colors.
