CAMASSIA 
These are perfectly hardy bulbous plants 
that thrive well in any situation and are 
excellent for naturalizing. They bloom in 
June, producing flower-spikes 2 to 4 feet high, 
bearing many star-shaped flowers, measuring 
iM to 2 inches across. Bulbs should be 
planted 4 to 5 inches deep, and in the case of 
Esculenta and Leichtlini, where mass effects 
are desired, 4 to 5 inches apart. 
Cusicki. This noble variety is very suitable 
for the border, and under good cultivation 
grows to the height of 4 feet. The tall 
spikes bear numerous pale lavender, starry 
flowers with yellow anthers. $5 per doz., 
$35 per xoo. 
Esculenta. This plant, a native of the 
Mississippi Valley, grows iK to 2 feet high, 
bearing spikes well filled with lovely purple, 
starry flowers. Very showy in mass planting. 
75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100, $40 per 1,000. 
Leichtlini. Similar to Esculenta, but a 
stronger grower. Flowers are larger and 
come in hues of deep blue and creamy 
white. $1.25 per doz., $9 per 100, $80 
per 1,000. 
CHIONODOXA 
(Glory-of-the-Snow) 
This is considered one of the hardiest, most 
easily cultivated, and one of the most beauti¬ 
ful of the early-flowering bulbous plants for 
mass planting which blooms about the same 
time as the Crocuses. The flower-spikes are 
about 5 inches high, and bear ten to fifteen 
scilla-like blooms. They are especially suited 
for the herbaceous border, where they should 
be planted in clumps of 20 to 25 bulbs, 3 to 
4 inches deep, 2 to 3 inches apart. In this 
way the plants seed and soon produce a per¬ 
fect mass of flowering bulbs. 
Lucilise. Sky-blue flowers, white in the 
center. 40 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100, 
$22.50 per 1,000. 
Lucilise, White. White form of above. 
$1.50 per doz., $10 per 100, $90 per 1,000. 
Sardensis. This is earlier than the variety 
Luciliae, and the earliest deep blue flower. 
50 cts. per doz., $3 per 100, $25 per 1,000. 
CYPRIPEDIUM 
Acaule (Pink Lady’s-slipper; Moccasin 
Flower). This beautiful native plant is an 
excellent subject for a damp, shady situa¬ 
tion, woodland or shaded paths, and 
planted among ferns. It grows about 1 foot 
high and produces a large, showy, rose- 
purple bloom. The flowers appear to best 
effect when the plants are about 8 inches 
CYPRIPEDIUM, continued 
apart, and they should be planted about 
3 inches deep. Prefers a mulch of pine or 
hemlock needles until it becomes estab¬ 
lished. $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
Pubescens. This is the large yellow Lady’s- 
slipper or Moccasin Flower. Its showy, 
fragrant blooms are produced at the top of 
a leafy stem. These little plants are very 
attractive planted in colonies and are 
excellent for the woodland path or among 
sheltered evergreens. $2 per doz., $15 
per 100. 
Dielytra spectabilis 
(Bleeding-Heart or Seal Flower) 
An old-fashioned favorite, with long ra¬ 
cemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers 
that are always attractive. It is used largely 
for forcing, but is also excellent for the garden 
border and especially valuable for planting 
in the shade. A splendid pot-plant for winter 
blooming in the greenhouse or conservatory. 
Strong clumps, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz., 
$25 per 100. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 
(Winter Aconite) 
Early in spring the golden blossoms look 
charming resting on an emerald-green 
cushion of leaves, and forming a striking 
contrast to the snowdrops, scillas, and 
chionodoxas. The foliage remains long after 
the flowers, making the plant especially 
valuable in moist situations, such as under 
trees, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, and 
where few other flowering plants will thrive. 
Plant firmly, 2 inches deep, about 15 bulbs to 
the square foot. 50 cts. per doz., $3 per xoo, 
$25 per 1,000. 
EREMURUS 
This noble and rare bulbous plant from 
Turkestan is one of the choicest subjects for 
the permanent hardy border. It thrives best 
in a well-drained, sheltered, sunny position, 
and prefers a deep sandy loam to which has 
been added a liberal quantity of well-rotted 
cow manure. A covering of 4 to 5 inches of 
leaves or litter will be beneficial and will save 
the young shoots, which start early, and are 
liable to be damaged by late frosts. It pro¬ 
duces a tall, majestic flower-stalk, frequently 
8 to 10 feet in height, which rises from a 
crowded tuft of narrow leaves and is crowned 
by a flower-spike 2 to 3 feet long, composed 
of closely set bell-shaped flowers which are 
quite star-like in effect. The colors are tones 
EREMURUS, continued 
of rose, yellow, and white. Due to the pyram¬ 
idal form of the flower-spikes they are ex¬ 
cellent for the rear of the hardy border where 
columnar effect is desired. 
Bungei. Very beautiful, deep yellow flowers 
in July. A strong grower, reaching a height 
of 6 feet. $1.50 each, $15 for 10.

Broad green foliage. A very vigorous- 
growing variety reaching a height of 10 to 
12 feet. $2.50 each, $25 for 10.

golden anthers. Height 6 to 8 feet. $3 
each, $27.50 for 10.

himalaicus and E. robustus, producing 8- 
to io-foot stems with flower-spike 3 to 
4 feet long, closely set with large flowers of 
pale silvery pink. Blooms in June. $4 each, 
$35 for 10.

toio-footstems. Strong grower. $2.5oeach,

clothing half of it. $2.50 each, $25 for 16. 
ERYTHRONIUM 
(Dog’s-tooth Violet) 
Americanum. This charming native wood¬ 
land plant is particularly suitable for the 
shady dell or woodland and is fine for 
shaded corners or the rock-garden. It pro¬ 
duces in April, small, lily-like flowers, 
which vary in color through shades of 
white, pink, bright yellow, rose, and cream. 
The beauty of the flowers is greatly en¬ 
hanced by the richly mottled leaves. They 
seem to like a light, rather moist, well- 
drained soil. The bulbs should be planted 
about 5 inches deep. $1.50 per doz., $12 
per 100. 
Citrinum. A native of southwestern Oregon. 
Heavily mottled leaves with white or soft 
yellow flowers having an orange center. 
Quite a distinctive species. $1 per doz., 
$7 per 100. 
Giganteum. A large, cream-colored variety 
with mottled leaves. Height 6 to 10 inches. 
$1 per doz., $7 per 100.
