Brodiaca — A native of our Far West 



Enrich your garden 

 display with some 

 of the unusual and 

 rare bulbous plants 



Calochortus — The Mariposa or Butterfly 

 Tulip — A lovely native Western bulbous 

 plant which has proved entirely hardy in 

 our Eastern States. 



Hardy Flowering Bulbs 



Even before the last of the snow has melted the little Snowdrops lure us into the garden 

 as they bravely lift their white bells above the remaining snow. Winter Aconite too with 

 its bright yellow bloom often flowers as early as the Snowdrops. While these are still in full 

 bloom the sliowy little Chionodoxa or Glory of the Snow lifts its bright blue flowers above 

 the rich green foliage. The earliest of the Crocus that brighten the garden are followed 

 shortly by Scillas, Grape Hyacinths, and Giant Crocus. Soon afterwards the Fritillaria 

 and Lily of the Valley make their debut with Anemone, Calochortus, Erj'thronium, 

 Leucojum, and Rannunculus to succeed them. 



Hardy Amaryllis Halli — Lycoris Squamigera 



Few gardeners know that there is a real hardy Amarjdlis for garden planting. Plant the 

 bulbs 8 inches deep and cover the ground securely with leaves during the winter months. 

 The biJb starts to make foliage in the spring but by July this will have died down. The 

 greater is the surprise when soon afterwards sturdy, strong spikes arise from the soil, 

 bearing beautiful, large, fragrant pink blooms arranged in showy large clusters. Planted in 

 well-drained soil and in a sunny position the bulbs are permanent to give yearly their interest- 

 ing display of flowers. SI. 00 each. 



Giant Poppy-Flowered Anemones 



These are easy to grow in a cold frame or in the garden if protected by a bottomless box 

 sunk a few inches into the soil and covered with a pane of glass. Also splendid for green- 

 liouse or conservatory.

Brodiaea A 



Mixed. These are lovely little bulbs native 

 to our western states. They bloom in the 

 spring and do well in shaded positions as 

 under trees or in the gritty crevices of a 

 deep rock garden pocket. Plant them as 

 early in the fall as available and cover 

 2 inches deep with fine soil. They bear 

 their showy little star-shaped blooms during 

 May and June. Leave them alone after plant- 

 ing as they are perfectly hardy just giving 

 them a little winter protection. 3 for ISc; 

 12 for 60c; 100 for $4.00. 



Calochortus A 



Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip 



Mixed. Another class of western bulbs which 

 have a charm all their own. Those we offer 

 here in mixture are perfectly hardy or they 

 may also be grown in cold-frames or pots. 

 Plant the small bulbs as soon as they can be 

 obtained in the fall and cover them with about 

 2 inches of fine soil. Good drainage is needed 

 but any good garden soil is suited for them. 

 Space the bulbs about 2 inches apart in a 

 sheltered spot where they receive some sun- 

 light. They are always admired for their rich 

 color and beautiful form. 3 for 25c; 12 for 

 75c; 100 for S5. 00.
