SCILLA CAMPANULATA. 
SNOWDROPS (Galanthu-). 
The charming Snowdrop is the first of all flowers to herald the ap¬ 
proach 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 Scilias, 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 of these bulbs. They should not be disturbed 
often if a fine display is desired.

STERNBERGIA I.UTEA. 
(Autumn Daffodil.) 
Pretty, hardy autumn-flowering bulbs that deserve to be better 
known. In appearance they resemble a fine yellow Crocus, and a 
clump of a dozen or more together with a corresponding clump of 
Autumn Crocus offered on page 19 gives a touch of spring to the 
garden in autumn. This is supposed by some writers to be the I.ily of 
Scripture, as it grows abundantly in the Holy Land, from whence our 
stock was procured. 25 cts. per doz.; $1.50 per 100 ; $12 00 per 
1000. v

habit, with sprays of exquisite rich blue flowers. Grown in masses, in conjunction 
with Ciocus, 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.; $1.25 per 100 ; $10-00 per 1000.
