MUSCARI 
Grape Hyacinth 
ARMENIACUIVI. Now that stocks of this 
variety have increased, we recommend it as 
finest and clearest blue of all the Muscaris. 
It is especially valuable for naturalizing 
with the narcissi and is excellent for green¬ 
house forcing during the winter. The spikes 
attain the height of 4 to 5 inches and are 
well set with beautiful clear blue flowers. 
35 cts. for 10; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000 
BOTRYOIDES ALBUM. Pure white form 
of Botryoides cxruleum, making a nice 
showing when contrasted with clumps of 
the blue Muscari. 
50 cts. for 10; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000 
HEAVENLY BLUE. Fragrant, brighter in 
color, and larger than the Botryoides. 
Probably the most popular of the Muscari; 
widely planted in beds, borders, and for 
naturalizing, where its greater size is of 
value. When once established, forms an 
attractive permanent planting. Does well 
in partial shade. 
35 cts. for 10; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000 
PLUMOSUM. Plume or Feathered Mus¬ 
cari. Instead of the characteristic grape¬ 
shaped florets, this variety produces a 
celosia-like plume of feathery threads, 
usually 4 inches long and 2 inches broad at 
its widest point, of bright lilac-violet. 
Usually 7 inches tall, but with good culture 
will produce stems long enough for cutting. 
60 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000 
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 tirne, beginning 
wdth the daffodils and continuing while the 
May-flowering tulips are in full bloom. 
Extra-heavy clumps. 
$1.20 for 10; $10.00 per 100 
ARABICUM. Tall spikes made up of pure 
white florets, each set off by a gleaming 
black pistil, which makes a striking feature. 
Excellent for pot-culture and for gardens as 
far north as New York, though heavy pro¬ 
tection is advisable. 
70 cts. for 10; $6.00 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 reseinble. Rec¬ 
ommended particularly for forcing, where 
4 bulbs in a 4-inch pot may be kept in 
bloom from January to May. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100 
SILVER STAR. Similar to Thyrsoides, except 
that the flowers are more star-shaped and 
may be had in bloom a few weeks earlier in 
the greenhouse. One of the best of the pure 
white form. 70 cts. for 10; $6.00 per 100 
THYRSOIDES. The famous Chincherin- 
chee of South Africa. Remarkable for its 
long-lasting qualities when cut, the spikes 
remaining in fine condition for weeks. 
Light straw-color, changing to pure white. 
Not hardy about New York, where it is 
recommended for forcing, but excellent for 
outdoor planting in the South.

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.
