LECCOJUM VERNUM (Spring Snowflake). 



Pretty bulbous plants allied to the Snowdrop, but of much stronger and bolder habit, grow- 

 ing in rich soil from 1 to 2 feet high, and producing freely beautiful large white flowers dis- 

 tinctly tipped with green; excellent for cutting. When once planted they take care of them- 

 selves, and should have a place in all hardy collections; can also be grown in pots. 25 cts. per 

 doz.; $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1000. 



LILY OF THK VALLEY (Ready in November). 



One of the most charming of spring-flowering plants, and can readily be flowered in the 

 house. The pips or crowns are usually received from Europe during November, and should be 

 planted soon after their receipt. The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle of 

 25 pips in a 7 or 8 inch pot, filling it up with sand, moss, prepared fibre or light soil, allowing 

 the points of the pips to be about an inch above the surface. They should then be placed out 

 of doors and brought indoors as wanted, and put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 

 70 degrees, and when the spikes are 3 or 4 inches high they may be brought to where they are 

 to perfect their flowers. By having a number of pots and bringing in at intervals, a continuous 



display can be had throughout the winter and 

 spring months. We recommend clumps as 

 most suitable for outdoor planting.

ORNITHOGALUM 



ARABICUM. 



(Arabian Star of Bethlehem.) 

 A very showy and distinct species, bearing 

 racemes of white flowers with a black centre, 

 having a sweet aromatic odor; grows 1 to 2 feet 

 in height, and succeeds either outdoors or in 

 pots. Excellent for forcing and largely used 

 by florists for this purpose. Of the easiest 

 cultivation. (See cut.) Sets, each; 30 cts.

Leucojum Vernum 

 (Spring Snowflake) 



MUSCARI 



(Grape and Feathered Hyacinths.) 



Botryoides ( Grape Hyacinth). 



Muscari, Grape Hyacinth 



One of the prettiest of early spring 

 flowering bulbs, growing about 6 

 inches high and throwing up nu- 

 merous spikes of clear blue or 

 white flowers, which resemble a 



miniature inverted bunch of grapes. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted 

 take care of themselves, and for this reason they are largely used for naturalizing, 

 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.
