SNOWDROP. 



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 surpassing 

 beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre edged with bright blue 

 Scilla Sibirica. or Chionodoxias, or by intermingling them. In beds of Tulips 

 and Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective between 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. Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots during the winter. 



Single. Largest bulbs. 1.3c. per doz.; SI. 00 per 100; $7.00 per 1000; or de- 

 livered $7 . 50 per 1000. 



Double. Largest bulbs, 30c. per doz.; $2.00 per 100. 



Elwesi, Giant Snowdrop). One of the finest of the genus, at least three times 

 the size of the ordinary single Snowdrop; flowers slightly marked with 

 green spots; fine for cutting. Largest bulbs, 20c. per doz.; $1.25 per 100; 

 $8 . 00 per 1000; or delivered $9 . 00 per 1000. 



Siberica. (Amoena or Praecox.) Most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, pro- 

 ducing 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.) Large cultivated bulbs, 15c. doz.; $1.00 per 100; $8 00 

 per 1000; or delivered $9 00 per 1000. 



Siberica Alba. The new white flowering variety, very beautiful. 20c. doz.; 

 $1 .25 per 100; $10 00 per 1000 or delivered $11.00 per 1000. 



Bifolia. Most beautiful bright blue flowers borne on short spikes; these shoul 1 

 be extensively planted; they are also fine for forcing. 15c. doz.; $1 00 pjr 

 100; $8 00 per 1000; or delivered $9.00 per 1000. 



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

 Each flower measures nearly one inch across and droops gracefully; perfectly 

 hardv; also fine for pot culture. We offer the following colors: 



Campanulata, Major, Blue. 20c. doz.; $1.00 per 100; or delivered. $1.25 per 100. 



Campanulata, White. 25c. doz.; $1 50 per 100; or delivered $1 .75 per 100.

SPRING SNOWFLAKE. (L****™ v«™io 



Produces flowers like monster snowdrops; very graceful in growth, having the 

 delicate fragrance of the Violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, with 

 white blossoms 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 edgts of snrubbery, 

 where they are beautifully effective, and when established 

 produce enormous quantities of flowers. They can also be 

 slowly forced in pots for winter bloom. Largest bulbs, 25c. 

 doz.; $1.50 per 100; or delivered $1 . 75 per 100.
