MISCELLANEOUS 
bear dainty nodding flowers which are white, 
tipped with green. They should be planted in 
early fall in a good, light, well-drained soil in 
which they may be buried 2 inches deep, in 
masses or bold clumps, to be effective 4 inches 
apart, and then be left alone to bloom year after 
year. $10 per 100. 
LEUCOJUM 7ESTTVUM: The summer-flowering 
snowflake. Three or more bells like giant snow¬ 
drops appear on stem. Very scarce. $20 per 100. 
LEUCOJUM 7ESTTVUM GRAVETYE: A fine vari¬ 
ety of the above with five bells borne on a 
smaller stem. Very scarce. $40 per 100. 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA (Blue Bells): This is 
indispensable in the garden for color effect; a 
lovely soft pink and porcelain-blue combination. 
The plant grows from one to two feet high bear¬ 
ing a panicle of flowers about one inch long in 
short pendent clusters. It is splendid for the open 
border or for naturalizing along the woodland 
path, in the dell, along the brook or pond; it 
flowers from the time the daffodils are in bloom, 
continuing while the May-flowering tulips are at 
their best. We urge all garden lovers to use this 
delightful plant in quantity as it is permanent 
and so helpful to create beautiful pictures. Extra 
heavy clumps that will flower abundantly next 
spring if planted early this fall, $1.75 for 10; $15 
per 100. 
MUSCARI ARMENIACUM: Of clearest blue. The 
best type of the blue muscari. $3.50 per 100; 
$32.50 per 1000. 
MUSCARI AZUREUS: Sky blue; most attractive 
companion for the other varieties; flowers very 
early. $4 per 100; $37.50 per 1000. 
MUSCARI BOTRYOIDES ALBUS: The white 
form which is very pretty planted with the blue 
variety of this type. $3.75 per 100; $35 per 1000. 
MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE: While there are 
several kinds of muscari, we consider this vari¬ 
ety the best for mass planting. The flowers open 
just about the time that the chionodoxas and cro¬ 
cuses are going off. They do very well in the 
wild garden and also in the grass if it is not too 
rank. Nice under trees and along the borders 
where they may be left undisturbed. They will 
seed themselves and make pretty effects when 
established. $3.50 per 100; $32.50 per 1000. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM (Star of Beth¬ 
lehem): The hardy type; flowers are white with 
black eye, carried in umbels of three or more 
flowers. Very fine for naturalizing in woodland. 
$5 per 100; $47.50 per 1000. 
POLYGONATUM COMMUTATUM (The Great 
Solomon's Seal): Indispensable for planting in 
wild flower sanctuaries or along woodland 
paths. Extra strong roots. $2.25 for 10; $20 per 100. 
SCILLAS (Wood Hyacinths): 
These flourish in sun as well as in shade under 
trees. Not particular about the soil in which they 
grow; ideal for the wild garden but not to be 
despised in the border, especially if left alone 
for two or three years without being disturbed 
in any way; splendid in the rock garden. Pro¬ 
duce drooping bell-like flowers. The following 
varieties are the best: 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA BLUE: Porcelain-blue, 
candelabra-shaped bells, blooming with the 
May-flowering tulips. Superior to Scilla Nutans, 
which we have discarded. Plant four inches 
deep. $4 per 100; $37.50 per 1000. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA "EXCELSIOR." The 
finest variety for grouping, for planting in front 
of May-flowering tulips, for permanent edging 
or for naturalizing in the woodland and among 
shrubbery. Tall flower spikes carry many fine 
large bells of a lovely deep blue; a most desir¬ 
able variety. $4.50 per 100; $42.50 per 1000. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA MAXIMA ALBA: The 
pure white form. $4 per 100; $37.50 per 1000. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA ROSEA: This is a soft 
lilac-rose form of this type. $4 per 100; $37.50 
per 1000. 
SCILLA ITALICA: A very pretty blue variety, 
which flowers very early. $15 per 100.
