TRITELEIA UNIFLORA VIOLACEA 



CROCUS ^GOLDEN YELLOW 



Doz. $1.00; 100 for $7.50 



The Crocus, one of the earliest flowers of spring, 

 occupies a deservedly prominent place in every gar- 

 den. They are extremely effective, whether planted 

 in hold groups in the grass or in broad wavy lines 

 along the border. Plant them early. Place the top of 

 the corms 3 to 4 inches below the surface and for 

 finest effect an inch apart. Leave undisturbed.

UNIFLORA VIOLACEA (Blue Star Flower) 



Doz. 75c; 25 for $1.40 



Each 5-inch stem bears a single pale blue flower with white center. 

 Delightfully fragrant. Excellent in the rockery or under trees and 

 shrubs. The bulbs increase rapidly and soon carpet the ground. Blooms 

 at the same time as the daffodils. 



LEUCOJUM (Snowflake) 



Doz. $1.10; 25 for $2.00; 100 for $7.50 



A very handsome, hardy and robust plant producing in May elegant 

 spikes of long stemmed flowers highly prized for vases. Ths stems, 

 about a foot high, are topped by 4 to 8 handsome, white, drooping, 

 bell-like flowers having a small dot of green on the edge of each petal.

 disturbed for years. Plant in September to November, 3 to 4 inches

 position in moist, loamy soil well drained in winter. Lovely in fern 

 borders or in groups in the shrubbery.

MUSCARI ALBUM (White Grape Hyacinths) 



Doz. $1.25; 25 for $2.40 



Exact counterpart of the above, with spikes of pure white bells, looking 

 not unlike a wedge of seed pearls. Very pretty when used as a com- 

 panion to the blue variety. Height b inches. 



SCILLA CAMPANULATA (Wood Hyacinths) 



Doz. $1.00; 25 for $1.85

 either light or dense shade or in full sunshine. Plant 4 or 5 inches deep, 

 in early fall. They bloom with the late tulips and early irises.
