UNUSUAL MINIATURES 
HARDY CYCLAMEN (Cyclamen Neopolitanum)—A true miniature, with perfect 
little cyclamen blooms in pink and white. One of the most outstanding small flowers 
we've seen in some time, with numerous good qualities; among them, intriguing tiny 
cyclamen blooms, handsome heart-shaped marbled leaves, and a fascinating habit 
of curling the seed head, as soon as the petals drop, down to the ground, so that the 
plants are always neat and tidy. They bloom in the fall, when good flowers are scarce, 
the bloom lasting a month or more. The leaves appear shortly after bloom begins, 
and persist till spring. Plant the bulbs, which are perfectly hardy, in good leaf mold 
in partial shade. Keep moist at all times, preferably by mulching. Shipped in August 
and September.

FEATHER HYACINTH (Muscari Plumosus)—The Feather or Plume Hyacinth

8 inches tall, often curled and twisted, and set with a mass of thread-like filaments, 
the whole bloom resembling a giant deep lavender feather. Shipped in August and 
September. 12 for 75c 
GRAPE HYACINTH (Muscari)—Small spikes of soft gray-blue rounded bells, 
lovely anywhere, but especially nice in drifts with white arabis and yellow primroses. 
Blooms well in sun or half-shade, in any good soil, and multiplies rapidly. Shipped 
in August and September. Dozen 50c, 100 for $3.50 
SPECIES CROCUS 
These species crocus are miniatures of our giant spring crocus, and have the added 
attraction of blooming in the fall. There is something uncanny in the speed with 
which most of these little flowers can bloom, once the tips appear above ground; one 
morning, just showing—the next, in full flower. In fact, their will to bloom is so 
great, that most of them, if not planted, will bloom anyway, on the garden shelf. 
Shipped in August and September
