40-040 Mixed. These are lovely little 

 bulbs native to our western states.

 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.

 shaped blooms during May and 

 June. Others blooming somewhat 

 earlier have lovely trumpet-shaped 

 flowers. Leave them alone after 

 planting as they are perfectly hardv.

That Bloom During Spring, Summer, & Fall 



Hardy bulbs bring to our gardens a wealth of colorful flowers. All of them are 

 easy to grow and those which flower during the early spring are particularly wel- 

 come. Though they are small they are truly beautiful. Take for example Iris reticu- 

 lata which greets us soon after the last of the snow has melted. Scillas and Grape 

 Hyacinths continue the procession with Anemone, Calochortus, Camasiia, Erythro- 

 nium, Leucojum, Ranunculus and the Dutch and EngLsh Iris provid.ng a succes- 

 sion that leads up to the summer-flowering plants. For blooming this fall plant 

 Colchicum just as soon as possible.

 deners are acquainted with these fine 

 hardy bulbs native to the western 

 section of our country. They produce 

 showy and colorful blooms of artis- 

 tic appeal and our mixture includes 

 a particularly wide range of rich 

 colors. They are quite unlike any 

 other plant in our garden which ac- 

 counts for the special interest they 

 invariably receive wherever seen.
