MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND ROOTS 
These are available for fall planting only. In addition to the fol¬ 
lowing list, we grow a limited number of other interesting native 
plants from the east, middle west and south. We also have a fine col¬ 
lection of western wild flowers and bulbs. If you are interested in 
these wildlings, please write to us. 
ARISAEM A triphyllum. Jack-in-the-pulpit. Curious black and green 
calla-like flowers from the middle west. Plant in the shade. 
BLACK CALL A OF THE NILE. Flowers are like huge calla lilies, 
but of a dark chocolate color. Individual flowers are sometimes 
a foot and a half long. Tubers 35c - $1.00, according to size. 
CHIONODOXA. Very desirable bulbs blooming with the crocuses, pro¬ 
ducing dwarf spikes of starry flowers. 
Luciliae. Sky blue flowers with white centers. 50c per doz. 
Sardensis. A rich blue self, earlier than the above. 50c per doz. 
COLCHICUM. Autumn Crocus or Meadow Saffron. The flowers, which 
resemble large crocuses, appear without foliage after the first fall 
rains. They are free flowering and bloom for a long period. The 
glossy green foliage, much like that of a tulip, appears in spring. 
Autumnaie Album. Pure white. 25c each. 
Autumnale Minor. Lovely orchid lavender. 25c each. 
Bornmuelleri. The grandest of all colchicums. Blooms earlier and 
with much larger flowers of tender lilac rose on a white base. 
75c each. 
Parkinsonii. Narrow wavy leaves; checkered blossoms of deep lilac 
rose and white. 25c each. 
Speciosum. Rosy mauve. 25c each. 
CROCUS. Autumn flowering. These are true crocuses which bloom 
in the fall. Although not so large as the Colchicums, they have a 
delicate beauty all their own. Like the Colchicums, they bloom 
after the foliage is gone. 
Sativus. The Saffron Crocus. Showy lavender flowers with bright 
orange stigmata which turn back over the petals and touch the 
ground. $1.00 per doz. 
Speciosus. Very blue-lavender with prominent orange stigmata. 
Exquisite. $1.25 per doz. 
Zonatus. Soft rosy lavender with yellow center and an orange zone. 
Ethereal and lovely. $1.00 per doz. 
ERANTHUS hymalis. Winter aconite. One of the first spring bloom¬ 
ers. Bright yellow flowers resembling buttercups rising from an 
encircling collar of fringy green. 50c per doz. 
ERYTHRON1UM. Dog tooth violets. Should be planted in the fall. 
Grandiflorum. Bright yellow with plain green leaves. Earliest to 
bloom. 10c.
