Muscari Azureum 
incase rape HFtyacin ths 
Muscari are charming spring-flowering subjects. They can grow under 
trees and shrubs, and also do well in full sun in the border or at a sunny 
spot of the rockery, without any special attention. They are best planted 
immediately on receipt and can remain undisturbed for years. They are 
absolutely hardy and some varieties are delicately fragrant. Botryoides, 
Azureum and Armeniacum are beautiful when forced in the house, same 
culture as Freesias; while Plumosum is always a source of great interest. 
All are about five inches high. 
Armeniacum (Early Giant) Doz. 70c, 25 $1.20, 100 $3.75 
Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with larger flowers than 
Heavenly Blue. Excellent for forcing and massing; wonderfully fragrant. 
Azureum Doz. 80c, 25 $1.45, 100 $5.00 
Bright blue, flowering in February; valuable early spring flowers, also 
fine for forcing in January. (Color illustration above.) 
Botryoides coeruleum Doz. 70c, 25 $1.20, 100 $3.75 
Bright blue, very free-flowering at the time of the Crocuses. This is the 
common blue Grape Hyacinth and fine in the rockery. Foliage is more 
compact, is better for the rockery than Hyacinth Botryoides. 
Botryoides album Doz. 75c, 25 $1.35, 100 $4.75 
This is the white form which is very pretty planted with the blue variety 
of this type. 
Heavenly Blue Doz. 75c, 25 $1.30, 100 $4.50 
While there are several kinds of Muscari we consider this variety the 
best for mass planting. Their flowers open just about the time that the 
Crocuses are going. They do well in the wild garden and also in grass 
net too rank. They are nice under trees and along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed. (Color illustration at right.) 
Plumosum (Piume Hyacinth) Doz. 85c, 25 $1.55, 100 $5.50 
Bearing in May, handsome feathery plumes of violet-colored flowers; 
very attractive. Height 7 inches. A most unusual and fascinating flower.

niai garden and others still for pot culture and rock gardens. AH listed 
below flower in spring. They show a wide range of colors and vary in height 
fram 6 inches to 3 feet. On most of them the foliage is not important.

ScillaTtispanica (campanulata) 
(Wood Hyacinths) 
The English Blue Bells (Scilla nutans) with its long varieties 
(S. hispanica) has erect flower spikes and open campanulate 
flowers. All are very effective in flower and shrubbery borders, 
and most valuable for wild gardens cnd woodlands, where they 
should be largely naturalized. Wood Hyacinths may be planted in 
bare shady places and odd corners which often have a desert-like 
appearance which can thus be rendered bright and cheerful. They 
will also thrive under Fir and Pine trees, where few other plants 
will grow.

LEUCOCORYNE - Glory-of-the-Sun 
Ixioides odorata Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
Flowers exquisite light blue on tall, wiry stems and of very long-lasting 
quality, with faint Heliotrope fragrance; for greenhouse culture or out- 
doors in warm states. March and April flowering. Unquestionably one 
of the loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict it to be as much used 
as Freesias as soon as the price permits its free planting. 
LEUCOJUM - Snowflake 
Aestivum (Summer Snowflake) 
Six $1.00, Doz. $1.55, 25 $2.85, 100 $10.25

elegant drooping white flowers in May. Greatly prized for cutting, on 
Stems about 14 to 18 inches high. Same culture as for Narcissi. (Color

Gravetye Giant Six $1.30, Doz. $2.15, 25 $3.75, 100 $13.00 
This large-flowered Snowflake produces in April and May gracefully 
drooping white beti-like flowers. Does best when growing in a shady 
situation and should be left alone as much as possible because the 
flowers become targer when th irti 
SI ala e bulbs are not disturbed. Particularty
