Little Bulbs for the Rock Garden and Border 
Chionodoxa (Glory of the 
Snow) 
Luciiiae. Bright blue with pure white center. 
Often a dozen flowers on each five-inch stem pro¬ 
ducing a very delightful effect. In bloom before 
the crocuses. Should be planted in clumps three 
inches deep where they need not be disturbed for 
years. 12 for 40c, 100 for $2.50. 
Eranthis (Winter Aconite) 
Hyemalis. With us this is usually the first 
flower of the new season — a cheerful bright 
flower like a golden buttercup above a collar of 
deeply divided gi'een leaves. Height about four 
inches. One of the few bulbs that will thrive 
under trees. They self-seed freely. Plant about 
two inches deep. 12 for 40c, 100 for $2.50. 
Galanthus (Snowdrop) 
Little nodding flowers of white with green tips. 
Once established they last indefinitely. Plant in 
early fall about two inches deep. These fresh 
Northwestern bulbs are less apt to die out than 
imported bulbs. 
Nivalis. The old fashioned snowdrop. With 
us it is usually in bloom in January. 12 for 50c, 
100 for $3.50. 
Elwesii. Especially recommended for the 
warmer parts of the country where nivalis does 
not do so well. Larger than the old fashioned 
type. 12 for 55c, 100 for $4.00. 
Scilla Campanulta 
Scillas 
Leucojum (Snowflakes) 
Vernum. The spring snowflake. Nodding white 
flowers tipped with green on stems 6-8 inches 
high. Should be planted in clumps 4 or 5 inches 
apart and covered about 3 inches deep. 12 for 
75c, 100 for $5.00. 
Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) 
The grape hyacinths are so easily grown and 
furnish such a lot of attractive little flowers that 
they should be used in quantity. They grow well 
under trees or in full sun. 
Botryoides Coeruleum. Bright medium blue 
early flowering type. Fine for the rock garden or 
naturalizing. 12 for 30c, 100 for $2.00. 
Heavenly Blue. Splendid variety for mass 
planting, increasing rapidly. Stays in bloom over 
a long period as each bulb throws several spikes 
of rich blue blooms. 12 for 35c, 100 for $2.00. 
Plumosus (Feather or Plume Hyacinth). A 
most unusual flower bearing large feathery 
plumes of violet blue. May flowering. 12 for 70c, 
100 for $4.50. 
Muscari 
The scillas are most satisfactory bulbs for 
naturalizing and borders. They thrive in wood¬ 
land or full sun and increase in beauty from year 
to year. Rodents or insects do not bother them. 
The campanulata (hispanica) varieties have erect 
stems 10 to 12 inches high—higher in rich shady 
places. To obtain the best effects they should be 
left undisturbed for several years when they form 
good clumps. 
Campanulata (hispanica) Alba Maxima. Fine 
large flowering white. The spikes somewhat re¬ 
semble Lily-of-the-Valley blossoms. 12 for 45c, 
100 for $3.00. 
Campanulata Blue. Splendid free flowering 
medium shade of blue. The most popular variety. 
12 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. 
Campanulata Rosea. A very attractive shade 
of soft pink. Fine large spike. 12 for 50c, 100 for 
$3.25. 
Campanulata Mixed. A good mixture of all the 
above colors. 12 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. 
Siberica. Of all the early spring flowers we 
think this has the most delightful color—the 
clearest intense blue with no markings. Each 
bulb produces several four-inch spikes bearing a 
number of the bright little star-shaped flowers. 
Remains in flower longer than most of the early 
spring bulbs. Plant three inches deep in shade or 
sun. First size bulbs, 12 for 45c, 100 for $3.00. 
None of the little bulbs available after Nov. 15.
