MERTENSIA 
VIRGINICA 
A beautiful hardy perennial particularly 
effective in the open border and for naturaliz¬ 
ing in woodlands and along brook or pond. 
The plant grows from 1 to 2 feet high, bearing 
a panicle of flowers of a soft porcelain-blue 
shade, about 1 inch long, in short, pendent 
clusters. It flowers a long time, beginning 
with the daffodils and continuing while the 
May-flowering tulips are in full bloom. 
Extra-heavy clumps, $1.50 per doz., $10 
per 100. 
ORNITHOGALUM 
Arabicum. When well grown it is probably 
the showiest of the white Ornithogalums. 
Produces tall spikes made up of pure white 
florets, each set off by a gleaming black 
pistil, which makes a striking feature. Ex¬ 
cellent for pot-culture and for gardens as 
far north as New York, though heavy 
protection is advisable. 70 cts. per doz., 
$5 per 100. 
Aureum. Fine, full spikes, about 12 to 
15 inches tall, of a rich golden yellow such 
as one would like to find in hyacinths, 
which the spikes somewhat resemble. 
Recommended particularly for forcing, 
where 4 bulbs in a 4-inch pot may be kept 
in bloom from January to May. 40 cts. 
each, $4 per doz., $30 per xoo. 
Thyrsoides. The famous Chincherinchee of 
South Africa. Remarkable for its long- 
lasting qualities when cut, the spikes re¬ 
maining in fine condition for months. Light 
straw-color, changing to pure white. Not 
hardy about New York, where it is recom¬ 
mended for forcing, but excellent for out¬ 
door planting in the South. 80 cts. per doz., 
$6 per xoo. 
OXALIS

the easiest culture, succeeding with every¬ 
body.

put in a dark place for a week, then set in a 
sunny window. We have four colors—

cts. per doz., $3.50 per 100. 
RANUNCULUS 
These bulbs produce large, turban-like 
heads of fully double flowers, in a great range 
of color. They excel as cut-flowers and for 
that purpose are recommended for greenhouse 
forcing. Hardy south of Washington, but 
about New York should be planted only in 
favorably located positions and heavily 
protected. Plant outdoors in spring, dig bulbs 
in the fall. Blooms in July.
