MISCELLANEOUS 
FALL PLANTING AND EARLY SPRING FLOWERING—FOR PERMANENT EFFECTS 
L'OR planting in accord with the natural surroundings of your gardens, expressive of perfect 
■L harmony and good taste; along the woodland path, in wild flower sanctuaries, along rivulets, 
brooks or wherever naturalistic planting is wanted. For planting of banks or ground-cover amongst 
daffodils, hyacinths or tulips, in the border in drifts or as edging for flowerbeds. 
CAMASSIA ESCULENTA: Very showy in mass 
plantings. Forms flower spikes up to 2 feet high, 
bearing a cluster of star-shaped flowers of a 
very fine rich purple. Plant 4 inches deep. Extra 
heavy bulbs. $10 per 100, $97.50 per 1000. 
CAMASSIA LEICHTLINI: Same as above but 
stronger grower; flowers are larger and come in 
hues of a deep blue and creamy white. Extra 
heavy bulbs, $20 per 100, $197.50 per 1000. 
CfflONODOXA LUCILLI7E (Glory of the Snow): 
An extensive planting forms one of the most 
sumptuous displays of floral beauty; a mass of 
blue and white, intense and brilliant. They 
bloom at the time of the crocuses, producing 
dwarf flower spikes, bearing from eight to ten 
little blossoms of a sky-blue with a pure white 
heart, creating a lovely effect. They should be 
planted in fall three inches deep, about eighteen 
bulbs to a square foot in a sunny location or in 
half shade and in places where they can remain 
undisturbed for a number of years. The flowers 
will cross with one another and will seed them¬ 
selves, forming natural colonies. $3 per 100; 
$27.50 per 1000. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLI/E ALBA. A white form 
of the above, very effective when inter¬ 
spersed with the blue. $1.45 for 10; $12 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLI7E ROSEA. A soft, pink 
form of the above. Very fine for rockeries. $1.25 
for 10; $10 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA SARDENSIS: This is the earlier 
of the two varieties to come into bloom, and the 
first real blue flower of the year. This is a rich 
blue self color. The remarks made for the 
variety "Lucillice" apply to "Sardensis." $4 per 
100, $37.50 per 1000. 
DODECATHEON M7EDIA (Shooting Star): Very 
pretty perennial, bearing rose-colored, often 
white flowers in May and June; sometimes called 
"American Cyclamen." Thrives in rich, moist 
woods as well as in the open border. Extra 
strong roots, $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS (Winter Aconite): These 
produce, at about the same time that the 
crocuses are in bloom, little yellow flowers like 
buttercups about three inches above the 
ground, with setting of fine green, frilled-like 
collars which never seem to mind the worst of 
weather conditions. They will thrive under trees 
where few other plants can hold their own. They 
seed themselves freely and colonies from self- 
sown seed are soon formed. Plant firmly two 
inches deep, in shade or half shade about eigh¬ 
teen bulbs to a square foot. Mulch in autumn 
with leaf soil. $3.75 per 100; $35 per 1000. 
ERANTHIS CILICICA: Flower is larger than 
above and of deeper yellow. Very attractive. 
$3.75 per 100; $35 per 1000. 
ERYTHRONIUM AMERICANUM (Dog's Tooth 
Violet): These are charming woodland plants, 
producing in early April small, lily-like flowers 
whose colors run in delicate tints of white, pink, 
cream, bright yellow and rose. They thrive in 
shaded corners or crevices of rockwork. Their 
beauty is enhanced by their richly mottled 
leaves. They like a light, rather damp, but well- 
drained soil. Plant the corms about 5 inches 
deep. $1 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM CALIFORNICUM: Creamy 
white, often 4 to 5 flowers to a stem. Leaves are 
richly mottled. $1 for 10; $7.50 per 100.
