BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING ^ 



* * * CALLAS- * * * 



THE GODFREY EYER-BLOOMING CALLA. This new hybrid is a true ever-blooming variety 

 A good plant produces an astonishing quantity of large, snow-white, slightly fragrant flowers. 

 Compared with the ordinary white Calla, it gives three flowers to one, the flowers being 

 equally large, of perfect form and very much whiter. Properly treated, the same plant 

 will grow and bloom without ceasing. The plant is of dwarf, compact, strong growth, 

 about 18 inches high, with an abundance of dark green leaves. (See cut.) Dormant 

 bulbs, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



CALLA AETHIOPICA, or LILY OF THE NILE. This old favorite white Calla Lily is 

 too well known to require any description. We offer dry roots, as they are superior 

 for forcing and winter-flow- 

 ering purposes; they come 

 into bloom quickly and re- 

 quire less room, making less 

 foliage. Extra size bulbs, 

 20c. each, S2.00 doz. Mam- 

 moth bulbs, 25c. each, S2.50 

 doz. 



Little Gem Calla Lily. This 

 little pigmy rarely exceeds 

 12 inches in height and 

 blooms most abundantly. 

 The flowers are not more 

 than half the size of the 

 common variety, and there- 

 fore can be used with telling 

 effect in bouquets. It is in 

 every way superior as a 

 house plant to the larger- 

 growing variety. Dry 

 bulbs, 10c. each. S1.00 per 

 doz., S5.00 per 100. 



Yellow Calla, Elliottiana. 

 The finest Yellow Calla; 

 large, rich, deep golden 

 flowers often 4 to 5 inches 

 across at the mouth; habit 

 of growth and foliage like 

 the old favorite white Calla 

 excepting the leaves of El- 

 liottiana are spotted with 

 white. 75c. each, S7.50 per 

 doz. 



Spotted Leaf Calla. (Rich- 

 ardia Alba Metadata.) 

 Dark green leaves spotted 

 with white ; in other respects 

 the plant is similar to the 

 old favorite white Calla, ex- 

 cepting being of smaller 

 habit. Large bulbs, 15c. 

 each, SI. 50 per doz. 



(For "Black Callas" and "Red 



Callas" see Arums, page 2j.) 



CAMASSIA ESCULENTA. 



(INDIAN QUAMASH.) 



Perfectly hardy, thriving in sheltered and partially shady situations; the stout flower stalks grow 

 from 2 to 3 feet high, and bear 20 or more large blue flowers, each 2 inches across; a large clump in bloom 

 is very effective. 25c. doz.. §1.50 per 100. 810.00 per 1000. 



CHIONODOXA. 



GLORY OF THE SNOW. 



These are among the most exquisite of spring- 

 flowering bulbs, and should be grown in quantities. 

 They produce flower spikes bearing 10 to 15 lovely 

 Scilla-like flowers. They are perfectly hardy, and 

 may be planted as an edging to a bed, or in masses, 

 naturalized in the lawn they are charming; they 

 flower with the Snowdrops and last a long time in 

 perfection. They will thrive well in any good gar- 

 den soil, and are admirable for pot culture, for win- 

 ter blooming, in the house, and for forcing for cut 

 flowers. (See cut.) 



Remember that our Chionodoxa bulbs are large 

 cultivated bulbs that will throw up several spikes 

 bearing several flowers on each, not the collected 

 " seconds " that can be sold at a lower price. 



Chionodoxa Luciliae. Bright blue with large clear 

 white centre (large cultivated bulbs). 20c. doz., 

 S1.25 per 100, S10.00 per 1000. 



Chionodoxa Sardensis. Intense deep blue (large 

 cultivated bulbs), 25c. doz.. S1.25 per 100, $10.00 

 per 1000. 



Chionodoxa Gigantea. Unusually large flowers of 

 lovely lilac-blue, with conspicuous white centre 

 (large cultivated bulbs). 25c. doz.. S1.50 per 100, 

 S12.00 per 1000. 



COOPEKIA. 



DRUMMONDI. 



These make excellent pot plants for winter flower- 

 ing and force well, or the bulbs can be kept dry and 

 be planted out in the garden in the spring, where a 

 clump of bulbs planted close together will bloom 

 successively from May to September; the flowers are 

 star-shaped, pure white, flower half an inch across, 

 with long tubes, expanding during the evening and 

 emitting a delicious primrose-like odor, i doz. 20c. 

 35c. per doz., S2.50 per 100.
