ERYTHRONIUM 



(Dog Tooth Violet) 



These dainty lily-like flowers vary 

 in color through shades of rose, yellow, 

 pink, and white. They require a moist, 

 well-drained soil and do particularly 

 well in the shade. The bulbs should be 

 set upright, two to three inches apart, 

 with two or three inches of soil cover- 

 ing the tip of each. 



Superb Mixture 70c per dozen; $4.75 

 per 100. 



FRITILLARIA 



(Checkered Lily)

 bell shaped flowers are oddly splash- 

 ed 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; 

 S3.50per 100. 



MUSCARI 



(Grape Hyacinth) 



Every garden should have a few of 

 these little 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. 



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. 40c per dozen; $2.50 per 100. 



ORNITHOGALUM 



(Star oF Bethlehem)

 centers. The plants are very hardy and will thrive in any well drained soil. Culture in the house 

 is about the same as for Hyacinths. 70c per dozen; $5.50 per 100. 



Grape Hyacinths Do as Well in Shade as in 

 Full Sunshine
