SNOWDKOPS. 



In the early spring there is nothing more beautiful 

 than a sheet of the snowy, graceful blossoms of the 

 Snowdrop. In beds of Tulips and Hyacinths, Snow- 

 drops 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. Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots 

 during the winter or in bowls or dishes in Henderson's 

 Fibre (see 2d page cover). If by Parcel Post add postage 

 at Zone Rates. Weight 1 lb. per 100. Dozens mailed free.

Snowflake or Leucojum. 



The Snowflakes are hardy bulbous plants 

 closely related to the Snowdrops — but are of 

 more robust growth, producing larger flowers 

 on taller stems. Snowflakes deserve to be 

 better known and more extensively planted 

 particularly in masses in semi-shaded places 

 in the garden border, naturalized in grass, 

 etc. Plant the bulbs about 3 inches apart 

 and 3 inches deep. If by Parcel Post add 

 postage at Zone Rates, weight 1 lb. per 100, 

 dozens mailed free.

 petal; height 6 in. 30c. doz.; SI. 75 per 

 100; S15.00 per 1000.

SPIR/EA or ASTILBE. 



In garden culture these flower frjrly during the summer and are 

 perfectly hardy, but their great value is when grown in pots for 

 window and greenhouse decoration in winter and spring and for forcing 

 for cutting. The flowers are borne in large feathery panicles and last 

 a long time in bloom. (Ready for shipment in November.) 

 If Spiraeas are desired by Parcel Post at postage at the zone rate.

Gladstone. An improvement over all other white-flowering Spiraeas — 

 the immense trusses of flowers are as white as snow, borne on erect, 

 strong stalks, 18 in. high. Weli-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume- 

 like trusses. Price of strong roots, 20c. each, S2.00 per doz., S12.00per 100. 

 "Peach Blossom." This beautiful rosy pink variety is of the same dwarf 

 compact habit as "Gladstone." It forces equally well under the same 

 cultural conditions, only it comes into bloom a few days later. If slightly 

 shaded when coming into bloom the color will be brought out to perfection.
