Spiraea 
Spiraea 
(Astible) 
Hardy plants of much merit which may he easily 
grown in the herbaceous border although their greatest 
value is when grown in pots for greenhouse and window 
decoration. Excellent for forcing and cutting. They 
need water in great abundance and manure water is 
especially beneficial as soon as the flowers begin to show.

Snowdrops 
There is nothing more beautiful in the early spring 
than a mass of snowy white blossoms of the Snowdrop. 
They are very effective when planted between Tulips or 
Hyacinths as they flower just as the other bulbs are 
showing above the ground; afterwards there remains a 
nice ground work of green foliage. Snowdrops may be 
easily forced.

Sparaxis 
Brilliant and attractive flowers with a range of color 
embracing every shade of crimson, scarlet and white, 
mottled and striped in every conceivable manner. They 
closely resemble Ixias but are dwarfer and more com¬ 
pact. The bulbs are not hardy but do exceedingly well 
when grown in the house or greenhouse, or in pots in 
cold frames. Eight to ten bulbs may be planted in a 
six-inch bulb pan.
