THE HARBINGERS OF SPRING 
CROCUS 
Crocuses provide so much color and cheer in the very 
earliest spring that it is no wonder that they are the most 
popular of early spring flowering bulbs. The little species 
are especially desirable from the standpoint of earliness. They 
come into bloom along with the snowdrops and eranthis, 
popping out all unexpectedly whenever there are a few hours 
of sunshine, long before winter is past.

SCILLAS 
The scillas are most satisfactory bulbs for naturalizing and 
borders. They thrive in woodland or full sun and increase in 
beauty from year to year. Rodents or insects do not bother 
them. The campanulata (hispanica) varieties have erect stems 
10 to 12 inches high—higher in rich shady places. To obtain 
the best effects they should be left undisturbed for several 
years when they form good clumps. 
CAMPANULATA (hispanica) WHITE. Fine large flower- 
ing white. The spikes somewhat resemble Lily-of-theValley 
blossoms. 12 for 70c, 100 for $5.25.

the above colors. 12 for 70c, 100 for $5.25. 
CAMPANULATA EXCELSIOR. <A tall vigorous plant 
with much larger flowers and stronger stems than any of the 
other varieties. The large bell-shaped florets are a delightful 
shade of lavender blue. It is a lovely companion for the later 
yellow tulips. 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
NUTANS ALBA MAJOR. The pure white form of the 
English bluebell or wood hyacinth. The little bells are more 
slender than those of the campanulata varieties and the whole 
plant is more light and graceful. Very free flowering and easily 
grown. 12 for 70c, 100 for $5.25. 
MUSCARI (Grape Hyacinths) 
Grape hyacinths are one of the most dependable of small 
bulbs for naturalizing. Each bulb bears several spikes that 
last a long while. Established clumps, particularly in partial! 
shade, grow stems that are long enough for cutting. The bulbs 
are so inexpensive that they can be used in large masses. 
HEAVENLY BLUE. A splendid variety for mass planting 
as it increases rapidly. Each bulb produces several spikes of 
bloom in succession. The color is a bright deep blue. Standard 
rite for 50c, 100 for $3.75. Large bulbs, 12 for 60c, 100 for 
ARMENAICUM. Larger and a little earlier than Heavenly 
Blue. The color is deep cobalt blue. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.50.
