Miscellaneous Bulbs, Continued. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS 
Fritillaria Meleagris. A cousin to “Crown Imperial,” bearing variously col¬ 
ored bell-shaped flowers on gracefully pendent, dwarf stems. Very early 
flowering and particularly attractive in groups in the border or in the rockery. 
Plant about 6 inches deep. They last for years. 
In Varieties. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
In Mixture. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
IXIAS 
Charming bulbs for winter blooming, of easy culture, with long, slender, 
graceful spikes of bloom and producing very brilliant flowers. The colors in¬ 
clude many shades of yellow, pink, scarlet and crimson. The center of the 
flower is always distinct in color from the outer parts, the effect of which is very 
striking. Six to eight bulbs can be planted in a six-inch bulb pan. Cover them 
one inch. 
Recommended for indoor planting only as they are not hardy enough to with¬ 
stand severe weather. 
No order for less than one dozen is acceptable. 
We have available about a dozen choice named varieties, but find the demand 
for these so limited that space devoted to them is not profitable. For general 
use we offer: 
Choice Named Varieties. 70 cts. per dozen, $5 per 100. 
LEUCOJUM 
Vernum. We like to compare this to the Snowdrops, but the flowers are much 
larger, borne on taller, stronger stems and are of more upright habit. Under 
favorable conditions it grows about eight inches high and bears large white 
flowers, the petals of which are tipped with green, during late April. Be¬ 
cause of the height of the stem, it makes an excellent flower for cutting. 
Once established, they take care of themselves and for that reason deserve 
a place in every hardy border. Also easily grown in pots in the house. 
$1.05 per dozen, $7.50 per 100. 
MUSCARI (GRAPE HYACINTH) 
Very beautiful flowers for planting in masses, either in shady places or where 
exposed to the full sun. Where they can be left undisturbed, they do exceedingly 
well. Plant in bold groups about 3 inches deep and 1| inches apart. They are 
also fine for pot culture. They bloom outdoors during May. 
No order for less than one dozen of each variety can be entered. 
Amethystinum Album. Pure white, large truss. $1.15 per dozen, $8 per 
100 . 
Botryoides (Blue Grape Hyacinth). One of the best of the Grape Hyacinths. 
A charming companion flower to Daffodils, the golden beauty of which is 
greatly enhanced by these fair blue-eyed beauties. 60 cts. per dozen, 
$4 per 100.
