Muscari, Grape Hyacinth 



MllSCari (Grape Hyacinths) 



One of the prettiest of early spring flower- 

 ing bulbs, growing about 6 inches high, and 

 throwing up numerous spikes of flowers, 

 which resemble a miniature inverted bunch 

 of grapes. They are perfectly hardy, and 

 for this reason they are largely used for 

 naturalizing, especially amongst the. grass 

 and in woods or other shady places, also in 

 the Rock Garden. 



Armenia.cum. Effective long stemmed 

 Grape Hyacinth of deep cobalt blue, en- 

 livened by white lacing at the aperture 

 of the bells. Wonderfully fragrant. Very 

 large flowers and blooms later than Heav- 

 enly Blue. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; 

 $30.00 per 1000. 



White Grape Hyacinths {Pearls of 

 Spain). Pure white. 60 cts. per doz.; 

 $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Heavenly Blue Grape Hyacinths. A strong growing variety producing 

 much larger spikes of flowers than the ordinary Blue Grape Hyacinth. 

 Color clear light blue; very showy. 45 cts. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 

 per 1000.

Ranunculus 



These beautiful flowering bulbs delight in a cool, moist atmosphere, and will repay 

 extra care in cultivation. The curious tooth-like bulb may be kept out of the ground 

 without injury for a long time, and if planted in spring in a cool, shady situation will 

 generally give satisfactory results. They are also desirable for pot culture and for grow- 

 ing in frames in spring. Also suitable for rockeries in a mild climate. 

 Giant Florentine. Very similar to the French Hybrids, containing all the brilliant 



colors for which this strain is famous, but more desirable because of its very large 



flowers. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 

 Tecolete Strain. This magnificent strain is the result of years of very careful work 



by a California grower to make up this wonderful double and semi-double mixture 



in a very wide range of colors. 75 cts. per doz. ; $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000. 



Scillas (Squiiis) 



(Excellent for Rock Gardens) 

 Sibirica. 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. 

 Mammoth bulbs, 70 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. 



Campanulata (Spanish Blue-bell, or Wood 

 Hyacinth). A beautiful spring-flowering 

 bulb; spikes of bell-shaped flowers, 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.
