ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 



(WINTER ACONITE) 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look charming, 

 resting on an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking contrast 

 to the Snowdrop, Scillas and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the 

 flowers, making the plant especially valuable in moist situations such as 

 under trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys and where few other flowering 

 plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high. 50c. doz.; $4.00 per 100, postpaid.

 and exceedingly pretty when grown in large groups in the garden border or 

 wild garden in a dry situation. Mixed rarieties, $1.00 doz.; $7.50 per 100, 

 postpaid. 



GRAPE HYACINTHS

 of the easiest culture, they thrive and increase in either sunny or partially 

 shaded positions in the garden. When naturalized in little colonics where 

 they can remain undisturbed for several years, the effect — especially of the 

 Grape Hyacinths — is very pretty, while as edgings they are most charming. 

 All are also adapted for wnnter flowering in the house.

 soms, expanding in the sun's rays, present a picture of gorgeous beauty. 

 Mixed Colors, 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 100, postpaid. 



SNOWDROPS 



In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a sheet of 

 the snowy, graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects of sur- 

 passing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre edged with 

 bright blue Chionodoxas, or by intermingling them. In beds of Tulips and 

 Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective between the lines; they flower 

 while these bulbs are just mo^-ing the surface, and when the flowers are over 

 there remains an elegant ground work of green foliage. Used as a permanent 

 edging, and in masses on the edges of lawns, nestling in the grass, they look 

 charming. Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots during the trinter.
