Allium. 
French Roman Hyacinths 
The flowers are delightfully fragrant and each bulb will throw 
up from 3 to 5 spikes. For forcing, 4 bulbs are generally planted 
in a 5-inch pan. Because of their early flowering and ease of 
growth, they are successfully grown in bowls with pebbles in 
the same manner as Paper-White Narcissi. Flowers may be had 
from December until March if plantings are made in succession.

White. Until this year the price of the White French 
Roman Hyacinth has been quite high. We are glad 
to be able to offer this attractive early, indoor¬ 
flowering Hyacinth again at a very moderate 
price. Mammoth bulbs .$7.00 $65.00 
Miscellaneous Bulbs 
for the Garden, Rock Garden and 
Naturalistic Planting 
Allium 
Alliums are very attractive bulbous plants, producing erect 
bare stems with globular heads of flowers, somewhat resembling 
the Blue-lace flower or Bunch Primrose. Perfectly hardy, easily 
grown, and well adapted to rock gardens or to plant with other 
small bulbs. Thrive in almost any soil in sunny situations.

Unifoliuni. Six to ten inches high, with a handsome 
umbel of rosy pink flowers .$4.25 
Cernuum. Wide flat foliage and nodding heads of 
clear pink flowers. Very fine. Height 10 to 12 
inches . 7.00 
Amaryllis 
Doz. 
Hippeastrum, Giant Hybrids. There is nothing that 
will give the amateur greater pleasure for growing 
in the house than these giant-flowering Amaryllis 
that are so easily managed. The strain we offer is 
the finest; strong bulbs throwing vigorous stems 
with from 4 to 6 gigantic blooms of the most per¬ 
fect form, ranging in color from pure white 
grounds with varied markings of rose, red and 
crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, crim¬ 
son and bright red. We can supply them in mix¬ 
ture only. Delivery from November until April of 
giant bulbs guaranteed to bloom .$6.50 
Halli, lycoris squamigera. Produces in early spring 
attractive green foliage which grows until July 
when it ripens and disappears. About a month 
later, as if by magic, the flower stalks spring 
from the ground to a height of 2 to 3 feet, develop¬ 
ing an umbel of large and beautiful, lily-shaped 
flowers, 8 to 12 in number, of a delicate lilac- 
pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy without 
any protection; it must be planted in the fall. 
Cover the crown about 4 inches . 9.00 
Anemone 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly bril¬ 
liant when in flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be 
planted about 6 inches deep in a cool, moist but well drained 
soil. They will establish without any trouble and remain for 
years. For northern states we advocate early spring planting, 
for the southern section of the country, fall planting is best. 
Cover in winter with strawy manure.

St. Brigid. These are the popular Anemone, so fre¬ 
quently seen in the florists’ shops in the early 
spring. The flowers are unusually large. There is 
a wide range of rich and brilliant colors in this 
magnificent strain .$6.00 $50.00 
Be Caen. The plants are taller in growth than the 
St. Brigid and more single. They contain many 
fine shades of blue, white and scarlet . 4.00 30.00 
Brodiaeas 
Small bulbs producing gras~y leaves near the ground, and very 
slender but stiff naked stems bearing a head of waxy flowers of 
great lasting quality. Their culture is the same as for Narcissi 
and just as easy as for that flower. They are easily naturalized 
in almost, any soil. Plant them about 3 inches deep and leave 
them alone. They are especially happy under oak and deciduous 
trees, in the rock garden, or in rough, gritty soils.
