(Grape Hyacinths) 

 Botryoides. One of the pret- 

 tiest of early spring flowering 

 bulbs, growing about 6 inches 

 high, and throwing up numer- 

 ous spikes of clear blue flow- 

 ers which resemble a minia- 

 ture inverted bunch of grapes. 

 They are perfectly hardy, and 

 once planted take care of them- 

 selves, and for this reason they 

 are largely used for naturaliz- 

 ing, especially amongst the 

 grass and in woods or other 

 shady places; while in clumps 

 or lines in the garden they are very effective. 8 to 12 bulbs in a 6-inch pan 

 make a pretty plant for window decoration, blooming about Easter. 40 cts.
