Miscellaneous Bulbs, Continued. 
ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite) 
Hyemalis. Along with Snowdrops and Scillas, Eranthis is one of the harbingers 
of Spring. It is particularly suitable for growing under trees and in shaded 
situations where relatively few flowers thrive. Golden yellow, buttercup¬ 
like blossoms are deeply set within emerald-green whorls of leaves which 
remain long after the flowers are gone. 55 cts. per dozen, $3.50 per 100. 
Note: No order for less than one dozen of either Chionodoxa or Eranthis 
of any variety is acceptable at low rates quoted. 
FRITILLARIA IMPERIAL1S (Crown Imperial) 
Hardy border plants of stately growth, producing clusters of pendent bell¬ 
shaped flowers, surmounted by a tuft of green leaves. They should be planted 
in Autumn as early as possible. Never give them fresh manure. Plant in Octo¬ 
ber, about 6 inches deep and 8 inches apart. 
In Choice Named Varieties. $3.80 per dozen, $30 per 100. 
In Mixture. $3.80 per dozen, $30 per 100. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS 
Fritillaria Meleagris. A cousin to “Crown Imperial,” bearing variously col¬ 
ored bell-shaped flowers on gracefully pendent, dwarf stems. Very early 
flowering and particularly attractive in groups in the border or in the rockery. 
Plant about 6 inches deep. They last for years. 
In Varieties. $1.35 per dozen, $10 per 100. 
In Mixture. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
IXIAS 
Charming bulbs for winter blooming, of easy culture, with long, slender, 
graceful spikes of bloom and producing very brilliant flowers. The colors in¬ 
clude many shades of yellow, pink, scarlet and crimson. The center of the 
flower is always distinct in color from the outer parts, the effect of which is very 
striking. 
Recommended for indoor planting only as they are not hardy enough to with¬ 
stand severe weather. 
No order for less than one dozen is acceptable. 
Choice Named Varieties. 90 cts. per dozen, $6 per 100. 
LEUCOJUM 
Vernum. We like to compare this to the Snowdrops, but the flowers are much 
larger, borne on taller, stronger stems and are of more upright habit. Under 
favorable conditions it grows about eight inches high and bears large white 
flowers, the petals of which are tipped with green, during late April. Ex¬ 
cellent flower for cutting. $1.05 per dozen, $7.50 per 100.
