Lily Flowering Tulips 
A distinct new and handsome class of tulips, 
resulting from crossing the dainty pointed-petal 
Cottage Tulips, Retroflexa, with a pink Darwin. 
They have beautifully reflexing flowers on tall 
graceful stems. They look more like colored lilies 
than tulips. They bloom at the same time as 
the Darwin, Breeders and Cottage Tulips.

Striped and Feathered 
Bybloem Tulips 
These tulips are of an old race which has been 
grown in Holland and France since the beginning 
of the seventeenth century and which caused the 
famous tulip craze in 1635. Bybloems are queerly 
striped and feathered rose or violet on a white 
ground. They flower about the same time as the 
Darwin and Breeder Tulips and are from 18 to 
23 inches high. Doz. 100

Crocus 
Among the earliest to blossom in Spring is 
this beautiful little flower, lifting its head almost 
before the snow has disappeared. Although most 
showy when massed in large beds, or when 
planted in lines of distinct colors, a very desir¬ 
able effect is produced by setting crocuses here 
and there over the lawn. It is only necessary to 
lift the turf and insert bulbs about 2 inches deep. 
This gives a pretty effect in early Spring and the 
tops can be cut along with the grass safely when 
the first mowing is made. Indoors the crocus 
can be easily forced if growth is maintained at a 
low temperature. Put 6 to 12 bulbs of the named 
varieties in a 6- or 8-inch pot. Keep cool, well- 
watered, gradually bring to full light and give 
plenty of fresh air. Doz. 100

Hyacinths 
The hyacinth is so well and favorably known 
that it is unnecessary to give any detailed de¬ 
scription of its broad upright spike or truss, usu¬ 
ally thickly set with bell-shaped flowers of beau¬ 
tiful waxlike texture. It succeeds well in the 
house and garden, adorning both with the varied 
colors and delicious fragrance of its showy 
flowers. Its culture is about the same as that 
of the tulips, except that for outdoor planting the 
bulbs should be planted 5 inches deep and from 
5 to 8 inches apart, and should have a little 
protection during the cold winter months.

Narcissus or Daffodils 
(All Mammoth Double Nose Bulbs) 
The graceful and charming narcissus or daffo¬ 
dils are being planted more every year because 
they are so adaptable. Most varieties do splen¬ 
didly in the house, and they are perfectly hardy 
for outdoor planting. When once established they 
do not need to be reset for several years and will 
thrive in almost any good garden soil. A cool 
and grassy place is favorable for naturalizing. 
For outdoor planting, plant 6 inches deep and 
5 to 8 inches apart. For house culture put 3 to 
4 bulbs in a 6-inch pot and treat the same as 
early tulips and hyacinths. In describing narcis¬ 
sus, reference is made to the “perianth” and 
"trumpet.” The latter is the long center, funnel- 
shaped tube, and the “perianth” is the outer row 
of petals or wings. Doz. 100

These small graceful narcissus are very much 
admired for their graceful, sweet-scented yellow 
flowers. They are very satisfactory for out¬ 
doors when planted in large groups or masses, 
and make splendid edgings to beds of some of 
the taller narcissus. For indoor growing three 
or four bulbs should be put in a 4- or 5-inch pot.

Snowdrops 
(Galanthus) 
In early Spring there is nothing more beau¬ 
tiful than these little Spring flowers with their 
dainty drooping heads of glistening pure white. 
In beds of tulips and hyacinths, snowdrops flower 
while these bulbs are just moving to the surface, 
and when the flowers are over, there remains a 
groundwork of green foliage. Perfectly hardy 
and will grow almost anywhere. Plant bulbs 
about 2 inches deep. Doz. 100

its sheets of blue in very early Spring are a 
great attraction in borders, dotted over bulb 
beds or for massing in the rock garden. Heignt 
about 5 inches. Doz. 100

Winter Aconite 
(Eranthis Hyemalis) 
Early in Spring the golden blossoms of Winter 
Aconite look charming, resting on an emerald- 
green cushion of leaves, forming a striking con¬ 
trast to the snowdrops, scillas and chionodoxa. 
The foliage remains long after the flowers, mak¬ 
ing the plant especially valuable in moist situa¬ 
tions, such as under trees. Also fine for rock 
gardens. Grows about 8 inches high.
