BULB FLOWERS 
For Fall Planting 
The kinds offered here should all be planted 
in the autumn, to blossom the following spring, 
or in the case of forcing bulbs, during the winter. 
Usually available, unless otherwise mentioned, 
from early September until past the middle of 
November, but better mention an alternative 
kind or two on orders sent in after the middle 
of October, for naturally seme sorts become de¬ 
pleted. Garden hardiness may be assumed un¬ 
less statement or implication to contrary ap¬ 
pears, but of course some protection of straw 
or leaves may be needed in very exposed 
northern locations. 
Bulbs are not prepaid. If you want them by 
mail, add 5% to your remittance for points east 
of Pittsburgh and north of Potomac, 10% to the 
Mississippi, and 15% west of the river. This is 
to cover postage and packing. I shall assume 
that shipment is desired by express, collect, if 
no allowance for postage accompanies order. 
CRIMSON SATIN FLOWER — Brevoortia Ida- 
Maia. Clustered flowers of glistening richest 
red, each tube tipped surprisingly with a re¬ 
curved scalloped edging of bright apple-green. 
Extraordinarily vivid. Sometimes called Floral 
Firecracker, and it looks the name. Rather easy. 
20 inches. 3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00. 
CALLIPRORA IXIOIDES SPLENDENS—Pretty 
Faces. Salmon yellow to golden buff flowers, 
each petal with a single brown stripe in the 
center. The blossoms, large and star-shaped, 
are carried in up-facing umbels on 18-inch 
.stems. Handsome, easy and hardy. Sometimes 
classed as a Brodiae. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c. 
ERYTHRONIUMS MIXED — Charming flowers 
like very dwarf Lilies, for woodland, shady cor¬ 
ner, or not too sunny rockery. The color varia¬ 
tions are remarkable, cream, deep yellow, purple, 
lavender or rosy pink. Often there are con¬ 
trasting color bands. Plant the bulbs as soon 
as you get them. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
THE PINK FRITILLARY—Fritillaria pluriflora. 
Mahy large open bells of pure deep rose. Very 
foeahtiful. Likes a bit of shade. Almost a Lily, 
but rarer and daintier than most Lilies. Ten 
inches. Each 15c; 3 for 40c. 
BR0DIAE BLEND—The rather tall and slender 
stems bear clusters of waxen flowers that vary 
from close trumpets to wide stars, according to 
species; and in color run from tinted white, to 
lilac, lavender and rich glossy purple. Then 
there are others that afe close to indigo blue, 
rosy pink, or yellow with salmon tintings. They 
are hardy and ‘ long-lived in any well-drained 
soil, and will even thrive in light shade. Please 
note that the bulbs are naturally small, but not 
the' bloom. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 21 for $1.00. 
LEUGOJUM VERNUM—Spring Snowflake. A 
piquant Cinderella of. the Amaryllis family, with 
pure white sweetly scented flowers in March and 
Apfil. Each petal carries quaintly a tiny tip of 
almost bottle green. A hardy bulb that will in¬ 
crease from season to season. You will like it 
better each year, and look forward to its bloom¬ 
ing. 3 for 20c; 8 for 50c; 17 for $1.00.
