Camassia 
There are few bulbous plants that meet climatic or soil con¬ 
ditions better or give a more attractive bloom. They are hardy 
without protection, and thrive either under ordinary garden con¬ 
ditions or when naturalized in open, moist woods or in not too 
dense a grassy growth. The flower stems are 3 to 4 feet h : gh 
with as many as a hundred star-shaped flowers measuring 1 V 2 
inches across and flowering in long succession.

Chionodoxa - Glory-of-the-Snow 
A mass planting forms one o| the most sumptuous displays 
of floral beauty, a mass of blue and white, intense and brilliant. 
They bloom at the time of the Crocuses, producing dwarf flower 
spikes, bearing from 12 to 15 flowers of a sky-blue with a pure 
white heart, creating a lovely effect. They should be planted 
in the fall, 3 inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a square foot, in a 
sunny location or in half shade and in places where they can 
remain undisturbed for a number of years. The flowers will cross 
with one another and will seed themselves, forming natural 
colonies. All are 6 to 7 inches high, therefore excellent in the 
rockery as well.

Eranthis - Winter Aconite 
Plant Bulbs Immediately Upon Receipt. 
These produce about two weeks before the Crocuses are in 
bloom, little yellow flowers like Buttercups about 3 inches above 
the ground, with settings of fine green, frilled collars which 
never seem to mind the worst of weather conditions. Will thrive 
under trees where few other plants can hold their own. They 
seed themselves freely and colonies from self-sown seed are 
soon formed. Plant at once upon receipt firmly 2 inches deep in 
shade or full sun, about 18 bulbs to a square foot.

Erythronium - Dog’s-tooth Violet 
These are charming woodland plants, producing in early April, 
small lily-like flowers of which the colors run in delicate tints 
of white, pink, cream, bright yellow and rose. They thrive in 
wooded places under shrubs and in shaded corners or crevices 
of the rockery. Their beauty is enhanced by their richly mottled 
leaves. They like a light, rather moist but well drained soil. 
Plant the corms about 3 inches deep. All grow about 6 to 7 
inches high. 
Californicum. Cream colored, often with 4 or 5 flow¬ 
ers on the stem. Leaves richly mottled. A large 
colony is a beautiful sight . 
Citrinum. A native of Southwestern Oregon; is 
rather stouter in habit than the last; flowers 
creamy at the outside, citron center . 
Grandiflorum robustum. A most distinct species, 
usually found in the mountains of the West. The 
leaves are not mottled but a plain green. The 
flowers are of the brightest buttercup-yellow 
Hendersoni. Like Californicum but the flowers are a 
lovely light purple, with the centers a deep ma¬ 
roon, almost black . 
Hartwegi. A lovely Erythronium. With the stout 
habit of this group, it has exquisite rose-pink 
flowers . 
Revolutum Johnsoni. The most beautiful of all the 
Mixed. This mixture is made up of the above named 
varieties and many others. Splendid for naturaliz
