Huscart - Grape Hyacinth 
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. 90c, 25 $1.65, 100 $6.00 
Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with larger flowers than 
Heavenly Blue. Excellent for forcing and massing; wonderfully fragrant.

fine for forcing in January. 
Botryoides coeruleum Doz. 75c, 25 $1.40, 100 $4.75 
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.

Heavenly Blue Doz. 90c, 25 $1.65, 100 $6.00 
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 
not too rank. They are nice under trees and along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed. 
Plumosum (Plume Se Doz. 80c, 25 $1.50, 100 $5.25

Bearing in May, handsome feathery plumes of violet-colored flowers; 
very attractive. Height 7 inches. A most unusual and fascinating flower.

MERTENSIA VIRGINICA - Virginia Blue Bells 
This is indispensable in the garden for color effect; flowers are 
porcelain-blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from 1 to 
2 feet high, bearing a panicle of flowers about 1 inch long in 
short pendent clusters. It is splendid for the open border or for 
naturalizing along the woodland path. It flowers from the time 
Daffodils are in bloom, continuing while the May-flowering Tulips 
are at their best. Use this delightful plant in quantities, as it is 
permanent and so helpful to create beautiful pictures, especially 
in shady places.
