SCI1XAS (Squills). 



Sibirica {Siberian Squill). This is 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. 

 Valuable for edging, and a dozen bulbs in a 5-inch pot make a pretty 

 effect when grown indoors. 20 cts. per doz. ; $1.00 per 100; $8.50 per 

 1000. 



Sibirica Alba. A pretty companion to the above, with sprays of pure 

 white flowers. 20 cts. per doz.; $1.25 per 100; $10.00 per 1000. 



Campanulata (Spanish Blue-bell, or Wood Hyacinth). A beautiful 

 spring-flowering bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers in blue, white and 

 rose; 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. We offer them in separate colors and in 

 mixture as under :

SCILLA SlMRIC \ 



Scilla Campanulata 



SNOWDROPS. 



(Galanthus.) 



The charming Snowdrop is the first of 

 all flowers to herald the approach of 

 spring. It can frequently be seen in 

 bloom when the ground is white with 

 snow, as it takes every advantage, and 

 hastens to display its graceful snow-white 

 bells before the winter has disappeared. 

 In conjunction with Chionodoxas and 

 Scilla Sibirica a matchless effect can be 

 produced. As the bulbs are small they 

 should be planted liberally in order to 

 obtain immediate results. Banks, grassy 

 slopes, edging or rock-work will suit all 

 these bulbs. They should not be dis- 

 turbed often if a fine display is desired. 

 It is possible to grow these in pots in the 

 house. A dozen bulbs will fill a five-inch 

 pot. They will not stand forcing, doing 

 best in a low temperature. 



Single. Pure white graceful bells; early flowering. ]5cts. per doz.; $1.00 per 100; 

 $8.50 per 1000. 



Double. Flowers perfectly double; pure white. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; 

 $12.50 per 1000. 



SPARAXIS. 



A beautiful class of bulbs, allied to the Ixias, and requiring the same treatment, pro- 

 ducing spikes of flowers of the most exquisite and brilliant colors. Mixed varieties. 15 

 cts. per doz.; 75 cts. per 100; $6.00 per 1000.
