just about two feet, and make excellent cutflowers.

MUSCARI (Grape Hyacinths) 
A charming and exceedingly popular Spring flower, requiring no special culture or 
soil. Perfectly hardy and increasing rapidly by offsets. They look beautiful naturalized 
in the rock-garden, while as edgings and massed in the flower border they produce a 
lovely effect and continue a long time in bloom. 
MUSCARI ARMENIACUM—The best of the blue muscari; produces spikes of deep 
cobalt blue. Strong, spicy fragrance. 
MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE—This variety, with its rich shade of gentian blue, is 
especially effective for mass planting and fills the garden with a clove-carnation scent. 
Valuable for cutting. Height 8 inches. 
MUSCARI ALBA—Very pretty with its spikes of pure white bells, looking not unlike 
a wedge of seed pearls. Very effective when planted with either of the blue muscaris. 
Prices: $.75 per Dozen. $5.00 per 100

effective when interplanted with Parrot tulip Fantasy. Fine cutflower.

Prices: $.85 per Dozen. $6.00 per 100
