BULBS FOR EDGING & ROCK-GARDENS 
Here is on interesting selection of those little flowers which appear from just after the last 
melting snow through April and May. They are very beautiful in masses under trees and in borders. 
CHIONODOXA 
(GLORY-OF-THE-SNOW) 
The flower-spikes, 6 to 7 inches high, if plant¬ 
ed 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 
when planted in irregular patches under trees. 
Gigantea. Bright blue, with white center, often 
with 6 flowers on a stem. 75 cts. per doz.; 
$6.00 per 100. 
SCILLA 
Sibirica (Siberian Squill). Spikes 3 to 4 inches high, 
of small drooping, bell-like flowers. Fine for 
massing. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep. Bjooms in 
April. Blue or White. Each, 45 cts. per doz.; 
$3.50 per 100; $33.00 per 1000.

inches high, of bell-like flowers, during early 
May. Plant 5 or 6 inches deep in shady situa¬ 
tions. Excelsior, deep blue. 75 cts. per doz.; 
$6.00 per 100. 
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. 75 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
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 out¬ 
doors 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. 55 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100.
