AMARYLLIS 
S. & W. Co.’s Giant Hybrids 
Few, if any, of the bulbous plants give the 
amateur greater pleasure for the window- 
garden than these giant-flowering Amaryllis 
that are so easily managed. Up to a few 
years ago, the finest varieties of these were 
exhibited at our New York Flower Show and 
were in the hands of just a few fanciers who 
procured their bulbs from a famous English 
collection. The United States Department of 
Agriculture, at Washington, has been im¬ 
proving on these strains for the past fifteen 
years, and our grower has been producing 
bulbs from a strain secured from the Govern¬ 
ment. One of the most glorious sights in 
March is several thousands of these magnifi¬ 
cent pot-plants in bloom in the Government 
greenhouses at Washington, D. C. Our strain 
of bulbs produces vigorous stems with from 
four to six blooms of the most perfect form, 
ranging in color from pure white grounds with 
varied markings of rose, red, and crimson, to 
the richest self colors, such as scarlet, crimson, 
bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Pot 
up bulbs, as soon as received, in good garden 
loam, enriched with a handful of bone fer¬ 
tilizer; water well and store in a dark place 
in a temperature of 50 to 60 degrees for four 
weeks until well rooted, then bring to light. 
Put in a sunny window and give water regu¬ 
larly. Bulbs potted up during September and 
October may be had in bloom in March. 
After they are through blooming, the pots 
may be set outdoors, laying them on the side 
until the bulbs become dormant. They may 
be repotted the following fall. 
Mixed colors, Jumbo Bulbs, suitable for 
6-incli pots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.,

ANEMONES (Windflower) 
These popular flowers of French origin are 
useful as decorative plants for house or gar¬ 
den, and for cutting. If planted outdoors in 
the fall they must be well protected; they 
may also be planted in the spring in well- 
drained soil, and will flower during the 
summer.

double, showing a black center and sug¬ 
gesting a red poppy. 75 cts. per doz.,

finest strain of single-flowering Anemones 
as yet raised. The plants are taller in

per 100.

cellently suited for naturalizing and thriving 
in almost any situation. Blooms in May and 
June. Plant 3 inches deep.

CAMASSIA 
These are perfectly hardy bulbous plants 
that thrive well in any situation and are 
excellent for naturalizing. They bloom in 
June, producing flower-spikes 2 to 4 feet high, 
bearing many star-shaped flowers, measuring 
iX to 2 inches across. Bulbs should be 
planted 4 to 5 inches deep, and in the case of 
Esculenta and Leichtlini, where mass effects 
are desired, 4 to 5 inches apart. 
Cusicki. This noble variety is very suitable 
for the border, and under good cultivation 
grows to the height of 4 feet. The tall 
spikes bear numerous pale lavender, starry 
flowers with yellow anthers. $5 per doz.,

Mississippi Valley, grows iX to 2 feet high, 
■ bearing spikes well filled with lovely purple, 
starry flowers. Very showy in mass planting. 
75 cts. per doz., $s per 100, $40 per 1,000.

stronger grower. Flowers are larger and 
come in hues of deep blue and creamy 
white. $1.25 per doz., $g per 100, $80 
per 1,000. 
Giant-flowering Crocuses. See page 28 
CHIONODOXA 
(Glory-of-the-Snow) 
This is considered one of the hardiest, most 
easily cultivated, and one of the most beauti¬ 
ful of the early-flowering bulbous plants for 
mass planting which blooms about the same 
time as the Crocuses. The flower-spikes are 
about 5 inches high, and bear ten to fifteen 
Scilla-like blooms. They are especially suited 
for the herbaceous border, where they should 
be planted in clumps of 20 to 25 bulbs, 3 to 
4 inches deep, 2 to 3 inches apart. In this 
way the plants seed and soon produce a per¬ 
fect mass of flowering bulbs. 
Lucilise. Sky-blue flowers, white in the 
center. 40 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100, 
$22.50 per 1,000.

Si. 50 per doz., $10 per 100, S90 per 1,000. 
Sardensis. This is earlier than the variety 
Luciliae, and the earliest deep blue flower. 
50 cts. per doz., S3 per 100, S25 per 1,000. 
CROCUS 
Autumn and Spring-flowering 
We offer three distinct types of Crocuses: 
Those that bloom in the autumn if planted in 
September; the Crocus species which usually 
bloom in February; and the Dutch Crocuses 
which bloom in March and April. 
Autumn-flowering Crocus 
Plant in September 
The traveler through the Engadine and 
Bernese Alps in Switzerland, in late August 
and September, has doubtlessly observed 
these beautiful Crocuses growing in great 
profusion on the hillsides. The flowers are 
somewhat smaller than the Holland varieties. 
They are excellent for planting in the grass 
and on the borders of shrubbery. Given a 
sheltered and sunny position in the rock-gar¬ 
den, they add delightful color at a time 
when most rock-garden plants are out of 
bloom.
