Ranunculus

One of the prettiest of early spring flower- 

 ing bulbs, growing about 6 inches high, and 

 throwing up numerous spikes of iiowers, 

 which resemble a miniature inverted bunch 

 of grapes. They are perfectly hardy, and 

 for this reason they are largely used for 

 naturahzing, especially amongst the grass 

 and in woods or other shady places, also in 

 the Rock Garden.

 Grape Hyacinth of deep cobalt blue, en- 

 livened by white lacing at the aperture 

 of the bells. Wonderfully fragrant. Very 

 large flowers and blooms later than Heav- 

 enly Blue. Excellent for cutting. 50 cts. 

 per doz.; $3.50 per 100; $30.00 per 1000. 



^hite Grape Hyacinths {Pearls of 

 Spain). Pure white. SO cts. per doz.; 

 $3.50 per 100.

 larger spikes of flowers than the ordinary 

 Blue Grape Hyacinth. Color clear light 

 blue; very showy. Excellent for cutting.

 per 1000. 



White 



Ranunculus 



These beautiful flowering bulbs deUght 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 growing in frames in spring. 

 Also suitable for rockeries in a mild climate. 

 Giant Florentine. Very similar to the French Hybrids, containing all the 



brilliant colors for which this strain is famous, but more desirable because of 



its very large flowers. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 

 Tecolete Strain. This magnificent strain is the result of years of very 



careful work by a California specialist to make up this wonderful double 



and semi-double mixture in a very wide range of colors. 60 cts. per doz.; 



$4.00 per 100. 

 Tecolete Yellow. A very choice selection of the yellow shades found in 



this magnificent strain. 75 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



Scillas 



(Excellent for Rock Gardens) 



Sibirica {Siberian Squill). One of the prettiest of early spring-blooming 

 bulbs, of dwarf habit, with sprays of exquisite rich blue flowers. Grown in 

 masses, in conjunction with Crocus, particularly the yellow variety, 

 Chionodoxas and Snowdrops, the effect is charming. Mammoth bulbs, 

 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Campanulata {Spanish Blue-htll, or Wood 

 Hyacinth). A beautiful spring-flowering 

 bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers, fine for 

 naturalizing in the woods, etc.; perfectly 

 hardy and requires no further care when 

 once planted. This is one of the few 

 things that will thrive under pine trees.
