LILY- OF -THE - VALLEY 
for Outdoor Planting 
This beautiful plant succeeds best in an out-of-the-way 
place in the garden, particularly in the shade. If the bed 
is given a liberal top dressing of well-decayed manure in 
the fall or early spring, it will show the effect by increased 
size, number, and vigor of the flowers. We offer clumps 
especially suited for outdoor planting. They should be 
set 1 foot apart so as to allow the plant ample space to 
spread. Strong clumps, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz., $30 
per 100. 
Bulbs for Forcing Indoors 
Besides the forcing Hyacinths, Tulips, Crocus, and 
Daffodils in this folder, we present below some of the 
more unusual, yet interesting, forcing bulbs. They will

through pink to deep scarlet, others with mottled throats. 
50 cts. each, $5 per doz. 
CALLA LILIES 
Easily grown in room temperature, blooming in six to 
eight weeks. Set bulbs with top just above the surface. 
Use either soil or fiber. When in growing condition, warm 
water given several times during the week will hasten 
flowering. Plant one bulb to 5 or 6-inch pot in the fall.

flowering, pure white Narcissus. These fragrant 
flowers force readily in fiber or pebbles in succes¬ 
sion, to bloom from before Christmas until 
Easter. Place the bulbs close together in bowls

then bring into the light as needed. 60 cts. per

BULBS FOR YOUR ROCK-GARDEN 
Chionodoxa (Glory-of-the-Snow) 
The flower spikes, 6 to 7 inches high, if planted in 
masses make a beautiful permanent display as they 
form natural colonies. Plant 18 bulbs to each square 
foot, 3 inches deep, in full sun or half shade, and give 
slight winter protection with leaves or garden litter. 
They are very effective in masses under the trees when 
planted in irregular patches. 
Lucilise. Bright blue, with white center, often with 
6 flowers on a stem. 35 cts. per doz.., $2.50 per 100, 
$24 per 1000. 
Galanthus (Snowdrops) 
These are particularly effective under hedges, under 
cedar trees, and in thin woodland. Their beautiful 
snow-white bells come as one of the earliest spring 
flowers. As they dislike being moved, they should be 
left alone to naturalize themselves. Plant 2 inches deep; 
mulch in winter with straw, hay, leaves, or well- 
decayed manure. 
Single. 50 cts. per doz., $3.75 per 100, $35 per 1000. 
Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) 
Beautiful little flowers for planting in masses, either 
in shade or where exposed to the sun. They produce 
flower spikes thickly set with small, bell-like blooms. 
When planted out in herbaceous borders, where they 
can be left undisturbed, they do exceedingly well, each 
year adding to their already profuse-blooming qualities. 
Bloom outdoors during May. They are also excellent 
for pot culture. Plant in bold groups, 2 to 3 inches deep 
and 2 inches apart. 
Heavenly Blue. This is the largest and best of the 
Grape Hyacinths. The bells are large and form a 
fine truss. Splendid effects are produced by massing 
in the garden or border. 35 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 
100, $24 per 1000. 
Album. A very beautiful white form and excellent for 
contrasting with Heavenly Blue. 50 cts. per doz., 
$3.75 per 100, $35 per 1000. 
Fritillaria 
Lovely bulbous plants for hardy borders, rock- 
gardens, or for indoor culture. The stems are leafy and 
graceful, with pendant, bell-like flowers. 
Meleagris (Guinea Hen Flower). Singular plants, 12 
inches high, bearing in early April large, pendant, 
bell-shaped flowers in yellow, white, reddish brown, 
and purple, curiously striped, splashed and checkered. 
They are invaluable for rock-gardens, and are ad¬ 
mirable for indoor pot culture. Mixed, 50 cts. per 
doz., $3.75 per 100. 
Scilla 
Sibirica (Siberian Squill). Spikes 3 to 4 inches high, of 
small, drooping, bell-like flowers. Fine for massing.

inches high, of bell-like flowers, during early May.

Rose, or White. Each, 50 cts. per doz., $3.75 per 
100, $35 per 1000. 
Wild Tulip Species
