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 tme. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

Sritillaria _Hission 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.

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. $0.90, 100 $6.00 
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. 
Gladiolus CNanus 
These Baby Gladiolus are extensively used for winter forcing, can be 
forced by the end of March, and come in very useful when most bulbs have 
gone. Noted for their lasting qualities, slender stems and dainty, orchid- 
like flowers.

“Roman Htyacin ths 
The early Roman Hyacinth, with its graceful spike of fragrant bells, is 
one of the earliest of all winter-flowering bulbs. 
Bulbs will be ready in September, when they may be planted in pots or 
pans. They may also be placed in the more artistic ornamental bowls, 
pebbles or fiber as a filler, which only needs to be kept continually moist. 
Bulbs planted in September bloom in December.

overlaid with a biuish tinge. Excellent for cutting. 
Mixed Doz. $0.85, 100 $5.25 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony (South Africa) are far too 
little known; they should be planted ir late autumn and in cold dis- 
tricts they must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. They 
are splendid for southern states. There are few bulbs so lovely and 
graceful and those fortunate enough to live where the climate is mild 
should plant them by the hundreds.
