UNUSUAL SPRING FLOWERS 



In my border in early May there is no 

 flower so much admired as Camassia 

 Cusickii. The tall spike springing from 

 a cluster of lily-like leaves is often two 

 feet high. The pale blue six-pointed, 

 rather large flowers, arranged loosely 

 on the stalk, begin to bloom from the 

 bottom upwards, so that their blooming 

 period lasts several weeks. If they are 

 picked they come out in water and last 

 a long time. The bulb looks like the 

 elongated beet root and in a few years makes 

 large clumps that can be highly rated as 

 soon as the leaves die down which is a few 

 weeks after blooming. We have a native 

 Camassia variety, Frascri. commonlv known 

 as the White Hyacinth, or Indiana Quamash. 

 It is quite small in comparison with Camas- 

 sia Cusickii. It requires no special care to 

 grow them; they are quite hardy and thrive 

 in the same soil as Lily bulbs. Plant them 

 deep, from six to eight inches, and leave 

 them undisturbed, unless you wish to sepa- 

 rate them to make other clumps in your 

 garden. It well deserves to be more widely 

 cultivated. 



We all know .Snowdrops ; but how many 

 of us know .Snowflakes? Its leaves are just 

 like the Xarcissus with a tall stalk sur- 

 mounted by a pure white drooping blossf)m, 

 each petal tipped with bright green. I first 

 saw it in a Kentucky garden and longed for 



it ; but. not kmiwini; tlie liotanical name I 

 could not order it from a nurseryman, when, 

 lo and behold! one line spring morning I 

 found one blooming in my garden. I was 

 sure at first the fairies had planted it. but 

 in practical reasoning 1 decided it must have 

 been a present from my kind nurseryman, 

 sent with a lot of bulbs ordered the Fall 

 before. So, garden-lovers, do not forget 

 Leucojum vernum, the Spring .Snowfiake.- 

 I'ant\ and {iardcn.
