CROCUS. The Crocus is one of the first flowers of spring, and one of the best for blooming in the house during the winter. They bloom splendidly when planted on the lawn among the grass. They lift their bright heads up through the sod very early, and give the lawn a charming aspect. The sorts we offer are strong and fine. Price, named sorts, 10 cts. per dozen; mixed, 8 cts. per dozen. Mont Blanc—Purest white, very large flower. Baron von Urn now—A fine blue; large. Dandy—Blue; a good sort. Walter Scott—Striped; large. Grootwoorst—Snow-white. Argus—Fine, striped. Large Yellow—Large flower of most brilliant yellow. LaMalestense—Violet striped, large flower. Queen Victoria—Beautiful, large, pure white. Prince Albert—A charming blue. J®~SPECIAL OFFER:—100 named Crocus, pur- chaser's selection, 60 cents by mail, 50 cents by express; 100 mixed Crocus, first-class bulbs, 50 cents by mail, 40 cents by express. SNOWDROPS. These are the first flowers to greet us in the spring, their pretty, drooping, snow-white blossoms appearing in March, a few days ahead of Scilla Siberica, with which they form a charming contrast. They are also charming for house culture in pots, blooming usually at Christmas. The Giant Snowdrops we offer are much superior to the common variety, producing larger flowers. Giant Single Snowdrop—Price, 3 cents each; 25 cents per dozen. Giant Donble Snowdrop—Price, 4 cents each; 30 cents per dozen. Snowdrop, Elweisii—A very large, tall variety. Fine for cutting. Flowers three times the size of ordinary Single Snowdrops and sweet-scented. Price, 4 cents each; three for 10 cents; 35 cents per dozen. ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM. A very pretty winter-blooming bulb. Its flower stems are twenty inches high, supporting a large cluster of delicate white flowers, which keep perfect many weeks. Plant three to six bulbs in a five-inch pot, and you will have a beautiful object for fully a month in winter. Nothing will give you more pleasure for so small an outlay. Large bulbs sure to bloom. Price, 3 cents each; two for 5 cents; five for 10 cents. ALLIUM MOLY LUTEUM. A very attractive and satisfactory flower; of dwarfer habit than Allium Neapolitanum, but bearing clear yellow flowers twice as large as those of Neapolitanum. The Alliums are of easy growth and very pretty. Price, 3 cents each; six for 15 cents; 25 cents per dozen. ANEMONES. Very beautiful and brilliant spring flowering bulbs, which should be found in all gardens. They possess a beautiful range of very fine colors, such as brilliant scarlet, red, blue, rose, striped, car- nation, etc. For pot culture they are very fine indeed, and suc- ceed best if left in the same pot year after year without remov- ing or disturbing. Sinsrle—Mixed colors. Price, 3 cents each; 25 cents per dozen. Donble—Mixed colors. Price, 4 cents each; 35 cents per dozen.
