A beautiful and showy plant. The flower spikes 
are from eighteen to twenty-four inches high, bearing 
numerous pearly white flowers with jet-black center, 
and with a perfume distinctly aromatic. The bloom 
remains perfect for many weeks. When grown in 
She garden they make an interesting and pretty 
sight. The plants are desirable for greenhouse or 
window decoration, and florists are now growing 
them largely for their value as cut flowers.

RANUNCULUS 
The bulbs of the so-called Garden Ranunculus are 
somewhat tender in northern climates, where they can 
be recommended only for pot culture. The flowers 
arc both single and double and of a great variety 
of colors. The bulbs have tooth-like prongs or 
claws and should be set with the claws downwards. 
The bulbs can be kept in sand in a low, even 
temperature through the winter, and can then be 
planted *in the garden early in the spring. At the 
south they can be planted out in late autumn. In 
growing the plants in pots they should have a cool, 
moist atmosphere, such as afforded by a cool green¬ 
house. DOZ IOO

SPARAXIS 
These are small bulbs with flowers of many colors, 
like those of the Ixia, and they require the same 
treatment. They make beautiful winter-blooming 
plants. Several bulbs can be planted in a small pot, 
or a box in the window planted with Ixias and 
Sparaxis will give a great display of bright colored, 
beautiful flowers. doz ioo

u The first pale blossom of the unripened yearP 
It is almost an even race between the Snowdrop 
and the Crocus to appear in the spring, the Snowdrop 
coming a few days first. As the name indicates the 
flowers are while, and instead of standing upright 
like the Crocus they are nodding on stems about six 
inches in height. The bulbs should be planted close 
like those of the Crocus, and they too, like the latter, 
can be planted on the lawn where they will maintain 
themselves for a number of years. They make very 
pretty pot plants for the window, starting several 
bulbs in a pot. D oz 100

SCILLA 
Two of the best ornamental species of this genus 
of bulbous plants are here offered. The plants 
bloom before the leaves appear. The flowers, about 
an inch across, are borne in clusters on stems about 
four inches in height. S. Siberica produces flowers 
of an intense blue, while those of S. praecox alba are 
pure white. After the flowers are gone the leaves 
appear and a new growth of bulbs takes place; the 
bulbs are hardy, quite small, and should be planted 
in a group in the garden where they may be left 
The plants can also be grown in pots, six or eight 
bulbs in a four-inch or five-inch pot, and will do well 
in a window or cool greenhouse. Do not give them 
a warm place. After growing in pots the bulbs can 
be turned out into the garden border. DO z 100
