MISCELLANEOUS BULBS FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING, continued 



QJJJONODOXA (Glory-of-tlie-Snow). The most beauli 

 —^-^—^^^^-^-^ ful of dwarf blue spring Mowers, resem- 

 bliiie; those of Scilla Sibirica, but larger, sHglitly taller, and more 

 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. loo

 Manv of the named Crown 



CROWN IMPERIALS 



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 buff. 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 possible, 

 be chosen for them. Doz. 100 



Eight Varieties, to name $3 00 $25 00 



Good Varieties, Mixed i 25 7 50 



DIELYTRA spectabilis (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, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 



ERANTHIS hyemalis (Winter Aconite). The Winter 



Aconite is the very "firstling" of tlve year, 



covering the ground with gilt spangles in the tjleakest days 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. 



Americanum. Large cream-colored flowers with ma- Doz. 100 

 roon band at base ; leaves richly mottled ; six to ten 

 flowers on a stem are common $0 50 $2 50 



Dens canis. Mixed varieties 25 i 50 



Muscaria, or Grape Hyacinths 



FEATHERED. GRAPE and MUSK HYA- 



CINTHS. These Hyacinths will grow in any good garden soil 

 ' and are admirably adapted for borders that are 

 shaded by trees. They should be'plantetl in large clumps and be 

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

 ful, the Feathered 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.
