Per 100 Per 100 
CARDINAL. Guard petals white, tiny straight 
edged cup of clear red. 9-11 inches tall, foliage 
of lovely bluish green tint. Collectors’ variety. 
Only 25 bulbs available at present. We know 
of no other stock in this country. Each $0.50 _ 
CIRCLET. Flat cream white perianth, all petals 
touching and overlapping. The disc or eye is 
of Poeticus form but much larger, covering 
about 1/3 the area of the petals. This cup is 
lovely soft yellow with tiniest edge of red. 
Height 9 inches. This variety and “Incognita” 
belong to the Engleheartii class which has been 
merged with the Barrii. Each $0.30_.. . 
CYCLAMINEUS. A species for damp and shady 
situations. One of the earliest to open. Peri¬ 
anth reflexed like the flower of the Cyclamen, 
exceedingly slender trumpet of pure yellow. 
Height about 5 inches. We offer 200 of these 
tiny bulbs, subject to crop, at_ 15.00 
GLITTER. A description is hardly needed, the 
name tells it succinctly. We may add that peri¬ 
anth and cup are deepest golden yellow, with 
glittering red edge. Petals nicely rounded, of 
firm sparkling texture. A choice little mite on 
an 8 inch stem. Now very rare. Only 20 bulbs. 
Each 50 cents____ 
INCOGNITA. Of the same distinct and catchy 
form as “Circlet.” A gleaming white perianth 
with broad disc or flat cup heavily tinted orange 
with pink overtone. Larger and taller than 
Circlet. About 13 to 14 inches when in full 
bloom. Valuable for exhibition. We offer 250 
bulbs this season___ 20.00 
MASCOTTE. Splendid white guard petals, 
frilled yellow cup with ribbon edge of lively 
orange scarlet. Grows only 8-9 inches high 
and opens its bright eyes late, when nearly all 
other rockery varieties have finished their 
repertoire. For this season 200 bulbs at_ 20.00 
MINIMUS. All yellow tiny trumpets set among 
tiny petals. The smallest and dwarfest of all. 
3-4 inches. Very early. Under sheltered con¬ 
ditions it will live and bloom, but it requires 
care and patience. Although we give our very 
best attention to the small stock, we never 
know when some adverse condition may wipe 
out the stock or reduce it severely. Subject to 
crop we offer 200 bulbs at 20 cents each_ _ 
MRS. BUCHANAN. A bold trumpet of soft 
primrose, nicely frilled and of very wide open 
form, perianth wavy and almost pure white. A 
remarkable flower on a 7 inch stem. In the 
mad scramble for long stems, much was dis¬ 
carded that now would be appreciated for low 
borders and rock gardens. Fortunately some 
very dwarf forms have occasionally been saved 
by collectors who did not judge by stem-length 
only. Early. Just 30 bulbs this year, at 
50 cents each_ _ 
MRS. ROBERT SYDENHAM. (Trumpet.) 
Crystal white large perianth, long fluted ivory 
trumpet which passes to pure white in a few 
days. The mouth is gracefully frilled. Modest 
foliage. Flowers assume a nodding demure 
attitude, like giant snowdrops. Opens late, on 
8-9 inch stems. The R. H. S. recognized its 
high qualities with an A.M. Indicated for 
pockets between low rocks. About 200 bulbs 
for 1932, at___ 20.00 
ODORUS ORANGE QUEEN. Slender stem 
and foliage, about 11-12 inches high. Three 
or four good size florets of a pronounced golden 
orange self. Cups as large as Campernel and 
very prettily fluted. The color is much darker 
than that of the yellow Crocus...__ 5.00 
ORIFLAMME. Round petals of ivory whiteness, 
very small intensely red cup. The perianth, of 
rather good size, spreads in delightful but sharp 
contrast around the vivid miniature cup. Mid¬ 
season. This dainty Barrii blooms but 10 inches 
high. Just 25 bulbs at 35 cents each_ _ 
QUEEN OF SPAIN. Sweet canary yellow, 
gracefully nodding trumpets of diminutive size 
on 7 inch stems. Originally found in Spain and 
now one of our most prized varieties for adorn¬ 
ment of our rock gardens. Very scarce_ 20.00 
SALMONETTA. Very pretty dwarf Leedsii 
with white perianth and salmon-tinted cup. A 
sweet, free-flowering little thing with a definite 
character due to the unusual tinting in the 
cup. Fine for the base and the slope of 
rockeries. Often produces two flowers on one 
stem. Now very rare and scarce_ 13.00 
TORTUOSUS. Pale sulphur passing off white. 
Graceful nodding pose. Long twisted petals, 
trumpet’s edge nicely frilled. Belongs to the 
Moschatus family and is the probable parent 
of all our large white trumpet varieties. In the 
morning hours the flowers have a mild musk 
fragrance _____ 20.00
