FRITILLARIA imperialis (Crown Imperial). 
The Crown Imperial is a stalely hardy border-plant, veiy effective in Spring when grouped 
in woodlands, wild gardens, orchards, etc. Its tall, stout, leafy stem terminates in a cluster of large 
drooping bell-shaped flowers, surmounted by a whorl of fresh green leaves. For forming bold groups 
in the permanent border or on lawns it is of great value, and should be allowed to remain undisturbed. 
To obtain the best results, plant the bulbs in September, in a good deep loam, the top 4 to 5 ruches 
below the surface, and by preference on their sides, to prevent nroisture accumulating in the centre. 
We offer specially strong selected bulbs, superior to what are usuatly sold, and which we hoi>e will alli bloom 
the first season. The Crown Imperial, however, is a plant which requires to become established a year rn 
the rromul to be at its l^est.
