REVOLUTUM, DOG'S-TOOTH VIOLETS 
The stems are long, the flowers large and exquisitely 
tinted, often single, never more than four to the stem, and the 
leaves are mottled in white and green. While the plants 
thrive in garden loam, they do well in heavy soils which are 
quite wet in winter. See color plate, page 2. 
Revolutum. A most lovely strain, the very large flowers in 
delicate blending shades of white, tinted lavender; deep 
lavender-pink; pink; hardly two alike and all most en¬ 
chanting. 10 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Pink Beauty is a deep lavender pink and most beautiful. It 
has all the vigor of Revolutum. No Erythronium excels it. 
12 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Rose Beauty is like Pink Beauty, but a deep rose pink. Very 
striking. Flowers at least three weeks earlier than Pink 
Beauty. Each 10 cts.; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Johnsonii is perhaps the most lovely of all Ehythroniums. 
With the stout habit of this group, it has exquisite rose- 
pink flowers. From the coastal region of Oregon. 10 cts. 
each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Purdy’s White is a pure white, rather than a lavender white. 
It is very richly marked at the base and has an unusually 
stout stem and large bold flower. An Eastern Erythronium 
lover writes that it was the most admired of all in her 
collection. 12 cts. each; $1 per doz. 
Praecox is an early blooming unusually fine variety. The 
leaves are mottled in browns, the flowers are large and of 
a very fine rich-cream color, richly banded maroon. One 
of the finest of all. 10 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Watsonii is also known as Giganteum, but is hardly of this 
class. It has white flowers, beautifully zoned at base with 
brown. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100.

little care will make beauty spots of your old corners. See

A GROUND COVERING FOR ERYTHRONIUM BEDS 
TRIENTALIS makes a most delightful covering for these 
beautiful bulbs. At the top of 4 to 6 in. stems is a circle of 
very pretty bright green leaves, and on naked stems rising 
1 to 2 in. above the leaves are many delightful little soft pink 
flowers which come after the Erythroniums have flowered, 
and last several weeks. The fine green foliage persists 
throughout the summer and makes a fine ground covering 
after the Erythroniums have died down. Trientalis is hardy 
anywhere. Plant alternately with the Erythroniums and at 
same depth. May also be used with Fritillarias and any other 
little bulbous plants in shade. 40 cts. per doz.; $1.25 for 50; 
$2 per 100. 
The above prices are postpaid to your door. 
FRITILLARIAS 
i. Lanceolate. 2. Recarva. 3. Agrestis. 4. Pudica. 5. Phaeanthera. 
FRITILLARIAS 
See color plate, front cover, where the beautiful tintings 
and markings are pictured so much more vividly than words 
can describe them. 
FRITILLARIAS are bulbous plants of the west. The 
stems are leafy and most graceful, with pendent bell-like 
flowers. _ One species found in Southern California is 
called Mission Bells, while in other places local species are 
called Red Bells, Yellow Bells, or Brown or Chocolate Lilies, 
a name quite justifiable, as Fritillarias so closely approach 
true lilies in character that some species have been confused 
with them. 
There are three groups of these fine plants on the Pacific 
Coast. 
1st Group. These have slender stems with the leaves in 
circles very much like many lilies. Many flowers are bell¬ 
shaped and nodding, borne in graceful racemes. The bulbs 
are round, flat disks covered with rice-like grains. These 
grains are little offsets and will grow if planted. When a bulb 
is dug they usually fall off and replant the bed. 
Recurva is often called Red Bell and Lanceolata is often 
called Mission Bells. The name Mission Bells, however, right¬ 
ly belongs to biflora, a species related to Group 2. 
These species are woodland plants, perfectly hardy and 
like a porous, well-drained soil fairly rich in leaf mold. 
See page 10 for list of Fritillaria species.
