Rock Garden and Bord 



er 



In the lawn, in the border, and under trees large groupings of Crocus are always 

 bright and cheerful in early spring. 



FRITILLARIA (Checkered Lily) 



Maleagris Mixed The large drooping bell-shaped flowers are oddly splashed and striped. The plants 

 grow only about 12 inches tall. Fine for rock gardens, for naturalizing, and for the border. Plant two 

 inches deep and six inches apart. 50c per dozen; $3.00 per 100. 



MUSCARI (Grape Hyacinth) 



Every garden should have a few of these Httle plants with their straight slender spikes of tiny 

 "grapes." They are very hardy, will grow almost anywhere, and increase rapidly, flowering more freely as 

 they become established. For a charming picture, plant them in masses among the late flowering tulips, 

 especially the pinks and the yellows. 



Set the bulbs two to three inches deep in any ordinary garden soil. For indoor flowering four to six 

 bulbs in a five-inch pot will make a fine showing. 

 Botryoides alba A pure white variety; very pretty in combination with Heavenly Blue. 50c per dozen; 



$3.00 per 100. 

 Heavenly Blue. "Heavenly" in fragrance as well as in color. The largest flowered and most desirable of 



all theMuscari. Bright sky blue. Height about eight inches. 35c per dozen; $2.00 per 100. 



ORNITHOGALUM 



Arablcum Tall spikes bear loose clusters of cheery star-shaped blossoms, pure white with black 

 centers. These bulb flowers are very hardy in the South and other mild climates, but they should be 

 given protection when planted outdoors in the North. Culture in the house is about the same as for 

 Hyacinths. 80c per dozen; $5.50 per 100. 



RANUNCULUS 



These little spring flowering bulbs produce attractive double or semi-double flowers on stems about 

 nine inches high. They come in a wide range of colors — bright crimsons, scarlet, orange, pink, yellow, 

 and white. 



Ranunculus prefers a sunny situation and a well drained soil. Plant the bulbs two inches deep and six 

 inches apart with the odd finger-like projections pointing downward. The bulbs may be soaked in water 

 beforehand. October and November are the best planting months. 1 doz. 100
