MISCELLANEOUS BULBS (Continued). 
FREESIA.

greatly prized for the delightful fra¬ 
grance of their delicately colored flow¬ 
ers. which when cut will remain in 
good condition for a long time in wa¬ 
ter. They are easily grown or forced 
in a light, sandy soil, in a frame or 
greenhouse, and are excellent for win¬ 
dow culture in winter.

sweet-scented, very largely forced.

about the same in width, shaped like 
a miniature gladoli. The body of the 
flower is pure white with lower seg¬ 
ments spotted lemon-yellow. Price, 
30c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; 12.00 per 
1 , 000 .

large size, borne on strong length 
stems. Price, 50c. per doz.; $3.50 per 
100 . 
HELLEBORUS NIGER. 
(Christmas Rose). 
The fame of Rochester’s Christmas 
Rose has gone abroad through the land, 
and the owner of the bed has been be¬ 
sieged with letters from persons want¬ 
ing to beg or borrow roots or slips. 
Till you have seen a great bed of these 
flowers in blossom you can have no 
conception of their beauty, and they 
hardly look “real” when you see them 
in full bloom with snow covering the 
ground. Prices, 35c. each; $3 per doz. 
Prepaid. 
LEUCOJUM. 
(Spring Snowflakes). 
The snowflakes are hardy bulbuous 
plants, growing a foot or more high 
and bearing dainty flowers of white 
tipped with green, yellow or a tinge 
of red. They appear about the same 
time as the white violets, and have a 
delicate odor resembling that of the 
violet, but the form of the flower is 
very different. Prices, 15c. each; $1.50 
per doz. Prepaid. 
SCILLAS. 
(Blue Bells of Scotland). 
One of the most beautiful hardy 
Spring bulbs, producing in profusion 
masses of excpiisite rich blue flowers 
almost before the snow has disap¬ 
peared. If grown in masses their 
flowers fairly carpet the ground. Grown 
in pots they may be had in bloom from 
Christmas until April. Prices, 5c. for 
2; 30c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100.
