SCILLA 
Ready in September 
A beautiful class of small bulbs, with blue 
bell-shaped or star-shaped flowers, following 
the Crocus in season. The plants are entirely 
hardy and need not be disturbed oftener than 
once in three or four years. 
They will thrive in almost any garden soil, and 
should be planted in October or November, about two 
inches deep, and in clumps or masses, placing the 
little bulbs about an inch apart. 
Sciilas are also well adapted to growing in pots or 
pans in the house, and treated in this way will flower 
in February. Place six to a dozen bulbs in a pot close 
to the surface of the soil; good gardener’s earth is 
the best. Allow them to root in the cold before re- 
moving to the warmer room, and water as often as 
the earth shows dryness. 
° “hss This is the best Scilla for 
Scilla Sibirica forcing indoors, coming 
into bloom with Roman Hyacinths. The rich 
blue star-shaped flowers are borne on graceful 
spikes of six to twelve blooms each. 6 cents 
each; 50 cents per I0.; $4.00 per I00, post- 
 SNOWDROP 
(Galanthus) Ready in September 
Before the snow has entirely disappeared 
there comes in many an old-fashioned garden 
the dainty white blossoms of the hardy Snow- SCILLA SIBIRICA 
drop. The graceful nodding flowers with their three large white outer petals enclosing a green and 
white tube are decidedly attractive in their purity and simplicity, and are in charming contrast with 
the slender dark green leaves. 
Plant the bulbs in September or October to enable them to become well established before freezing weather. Set 
about two or three inches deep and one inch apart in clumps or triple rows; if planted singly they are not so conspicuous. 
Snowdrop prices include postage. 10 100

MUSCARI (GRAPE HYACINTH) 
Early flowering, dwarf growing plants producing numerous spikes of globular or urn shaped flowers 
which have a grape-like appearance. They are perfectly hardy, increase rapidly and flower more freely 
each year as they become established. They are most attractive when planted in masses or large groups 
in beds and borders, a charming effect being produced by planting them among late flowering tulips, 
their clear light blue color making an effective ground-work which will harmonize especially well with 
flowers of yellow, bronze or purplish tones. 
Plant two to three inches deep in any ordinary garden soil or for flowering indoors, four to six bulbs in a flve inch pot, 
Heavenly Blue. The largest fowered and most desirable variety of the species. Color bright sky blue. 
Height about eight inches. 50 cents per 10; $3.50 per I0o.
