 popular for cut-flower use and for table decorations. The florists 

 now buy thousands of them to force. Plant in October or November, 

 six roots in a si.\-inch pot or bulb pan, covering them one inch. 

 They may be kept in a cellar or frame protected from frost until 

 spring, when they may be placed in the greenhouse or window to 

 bloom.

CHIONODOXA ( Glory -of-the-Snow). The most beau- 

 tiful of dwarf blue spring flowers, resem-

 handsome. The Chionodoxa is very hardy, thriving in any ordinary 

 garden soil and in almost any situation. The bulbs continue to 

 flower from year to year. It is also excellent for forcing, doz.

CROWN IMPERIALS iFntHlaria imperialis). 



Many of the named Crown 



Imperials vary so little in color and in general appearance that it is 

 difficult to distinguish the difference between them. The following 

 are the most distinct varieties, the flowers ranging from pure yellow 

 to deep shades of orange and reddish bufT. Although the bulbs suc- 

 ceed fairly well in any ordinary border, a rather strong, adhesive 

 soil, in an open position freely exposed to the sun, should, if pos- 

 sible, be chosen for them. Doz. leo

DIELYTRA spectabUls (Bleeding Heart). One of the most 



ornamental of hardy spring - flowering plants, 



with elegant green foliage and long drooping racemes of heart- 

 shaped flowers. This is deemed one of the finest of all hardy garden 

 plants. Ready in November. Magnificent racemes of pink and white 

 flowers. 15 cts. each, Si 50 per doz. 



ERANTHIS hyemalis (Winter Aconite). The Winter 

 ^— — — — — — Aconite is the very "firstling" of the year, 



covering the ground with gilt spangles in the bleakest da\ s of Feb- 

 ruary. Any soil or situation will suit this flower, and it should be 

 planted in large patches within view from the windows. 25 cts. per 

 doz., $1 50 per 100. 



ERYTHRONIUM (Giant Dog's-tooth Violet). Beautiful 



plants, perfectly hardy; the foliage is 



usually charmingly variegated, and a mass of fifteen or twenty plants 

 is a pretty sight even when not in flower, but when the graceful 

 flowers are in bloom the effect is matchless. The plants luxuriate in 

 rather moist, partially shady positions and do very nicely when 

 grown in pots for winter blooming.

Dens canis. Mixed varieties 25 i 50 



These bulbs are perfectly hardy and 

 thrive in shaded borders, where they 

 may remain undisturbed for at least three years. The nodding bell- 

 shaped flowers vary in color, and as a rule are handsomely spotted.

FRITILLARIAS. 



Muscaria, or Grape Hyacinths 



FEATHERED. GRAPE and MUSK HYA- 



CIN^THS These Hyacinths will grow in any good garden soil 



and are admirably adapted for borders that are 



shaded by trees. They should be planted in large clumps and be 

 allowed to remain several years undisturbed. They are all beauti- 

 ful — the Feather Hyacinth emphatically so. For delicacy of structure 

 it has peculiar claims to our admiration, when presenting its feathery 

 plumes a foot or more in length, cut into curling threads of the most 

 elegant tenuity. Doz.

LEUCOJUM. 



Produces flowers like monster snowdrops; 

 very graceful in growth, having the deli- 

 cate fragrance of the violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, 

 with while blossoms distinctly tipped green, handsome in outline 

 and prized for boucjuets. They should lie grown in <iuai\tities in 

 the borders or in spots on the edges of shrubbery, where they are 

 beautifully effective, aiui when established produce enormous quan- 

 tities of flowers. roz. 100 1,000
