Muscari Armeniacum 
uscwa- Lyrape yactnths 
HW p Hy math, 
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 special attention. They are best planted im- 
mediately 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. 80c, 25 $1.50, 100 $5.25 
Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with larger flowers than 
Heavenly Blue. Excellent for forcing and massing; wonderfully fragrant. 
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. 
Azureum Doz. 99c, 25 $1.65, 100 $6.00 
Bright blue, flowering in February; valuable early spring flowers, also 
fine for forcing in January. 
Botryoides coeruleum Doz. 80c, 25 $1.50, 100 $5.25 
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. 90c, 25 $1.65, 100 $6.25 
This is the white form which is very pretty planted with the blue va- 
riety of this type. 
Plumosum (Plume Hyacinth) Doz. $1.10, 25 $1.85, 100 $7.25 
Bearing in May, handsome feathery plumes of violet-colored flowers; 
very attractive. Height 7 inches. A most unusual and fascinating flower.

when it ripens and disappears. About a month later, as if by magic, the
