CHIONODOXA 
(Glory of the Snow) 
The most beautiful of dwarf blue spring flowers, 
resembling those of Scilla Siberica, but larger, 
slightly taller and more handsome. They are 
very hardy, thriving in any ordinary garden 
soil, and in almost any situation. 
For the best effect, bulbs should be planted close 
together.

Large blooms of soft gray-blue. 90 cts. per dozen, 
$6 per 100. 
SARDENSIS: 
True gentian-blue, with white center. 90 cts. per 
dozen, $6 per 100.

DIELYTRA 
SPECTABILIS: 
Better known as Bleeding Heart. This delightful old 
favorite is assuming a new degree of popularity. Be- 
cause of its forcing qualities, it makes a splendid 
potted plant for the window, blooming in either 
greenhouse or conservatory, but it is also an excellent 
plant for the hardy border, and especially valuable 
for shady situations. It bears long racemes of heart- 
shaped pink flowers and blooms as persistently as any 
hardy perennial flower we know. In addition it has 
extremely graceful foliage. Whether you intend to 
plant it indoors or use it in your hardy border, here is 
one plant that we can conscientiously recommend. 
Not very particular as to soil. Strong clumps. $7.75 
per dozen, $60 per 100. 
ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite) 
HYEMALIS: 
Along with Snowdrops and Scillas, Eranthis is one of 
the harbingers of Spring. It is particularly suitable 
for growing under trees and in shaded situations 
where relatively few flowers thrive. Golden yellow, 
buttercup-like blossoms are deeply set within emer- 
ald-green whorls of leaves which remain long after 
the flowers are gone. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100.
