Frees as 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted early, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

GFritillaria _ Mission Bells 
The true Mission Bells do better in a clay soil in full sun. The woodland

and a free soil. They are hardy as far north as Wisconsin. 
Lanceolata Doz. $1.45, 100 $9.75

would be very interesting in the rockery. 
Galanthus Sno worops 
Snowdrops belong to the most beloved early flowering spring bulbs. They 
require very little attention, and can remain_undisturbed for years and 
years. They like rather moist and cool soil. To get a lovely effect they 
must be planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and shrubs, 
in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the lawn should not be 
mown before the leaves are withered, or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Elwesii Doz. $0.75, 100 $4.50 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white nodding blooms are 
out before the frost is out of the ground; one of the lovely bulbs that 
tell us spring is almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of shrubs 
or under trees is worth while. Once planted they remain for a lifetime.
