Brodlaea — ^A native of our Far West 



Brodiaea 



Mixed. These are lovely little bulbous plants native to 

 our western states. They bloom during the spring 

 and early summer, doing well in a sunny or semi- 

 shaded position or in the gritty crevices of a deep 

 rock garden pocket. They bear their showy blooms 

 on stiff slender stems 8 to 15 inches long which makes 

 them valuable for cutting. Some varieties in this 

 mixture have lovely star-shaped blooms whereas 

 others produce long trumpets with the petal tipa 

 flaring at the ends. Plant them outdoors early in the 

 fall as they are hardy. 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100.
