Early Spring Flowers 
Often before the snow has melted the ever welcome little Snowdrops 
are in bloom, and while it may be still rather drab outdoors, the 
showy Chionodoxa, the gaudy Crocus, the lovely Scillas, and the 
pretty Grape Hyacinths are blooming, reminding us that another 
spring is here. These early flowers surely have a charm and appeal 
all their own. Plant them liberally and try some varieties that you 
have never had before; many are seen far too seldom—Calochortus, 
Camassia, Erythroniums, Fritillarias and other lovely subjects.

Brodiaea, Mixed Colors 
Camassia 
9381 Leichtlirii Perfectly hardy, 
bulbous plants, doing well under ordi¬ 
nary garden culture; excellent for nat¬ 
uralizing in open, moist locations or in 
grass that is not too dense. Blooms in 
late May and June. The flower spikes 
grow 2 to 3 ft. high, and bear many star¬ 
shaped flowers in. across, which 
have some resemblance to Scillas but 
are much larger. Shades of blue ranging 
from lavender-blue to deep purplish 
blue. Plant bulbs 4 in. deep and 4 to 
5 in. apart. Do not allow plants to 
become too dry while they are in bloom. 
Not suited to growing indoors. 
3 for 35**; 12 for $1.15; 100 for $8.00. 
Chionodoxa 
(Glory of the Snow ) 
C See colored illustration on third cover.) 
Blooms at the same time as the Crocus. 
Plants grow about 5 in. high; the little 
spikes when covered with their showy 
blue flowers create a lovely display in 
the garden or in the rockery. Do well 
in a sunny or half-shaded location. 
Plant bulbs 3 in. deep and 3 in. apart 
in masses for best display. 
9480 Luciliae Bright blue flow¬ 
ers with a large, contrasting white cen¬ 
ter; resemble somewhat those of Scilla 
Sibirica, but larger and earlier. Beauti¬ 
ful and showy, especially when planted 
close together in groups. 
12 for 30*!; 100 for $1.95; 1000 for $17.50.

Chionodoxa Sardensis 
9481 Sardensis Lovely rich blue 
with a very small white eye. A delight¬ 
ful companion to Luciliae, coming into 
bloom just a little earlier. A spring 
garden without either variety of Chion- 
odoxas is hardly conceivable.
