Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 
Allium 
Alliums are very attractive bulbous plants, producing erect, 
bare stems with globular heads of flowers, somewhat resem¬ 
bling the Blue Lace Flower or Bunch Primrose. Perfectly 
hardy, easily grown, and well adapted to rock-gardens. Thrive 
in almost any soil in sunny situations. Plant 2 inches deep. 
Cernuum. Wide, flat foliage and nodding heads of clear 
pink flowers. Very fine. Height, 10 to 12 inches. $1.25 per 
doz.; $9 per 100. 
Falcifolium. Grows 3 inches high, with large umbels of rosy 
purple flowers. 70 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 
Neapolitanum. Produces, in May and June, numerous 
heads of graceful white flowers, prized for cutting. It is 
also a charming plant to naturalize in shady woods, asso¬ 
ciated with blue wood seilla. Height, 15 inches. 70 cts. per 
doz.; $4.50 per 100. 
Validum. Unlike the others, this must have a moist situa¬ 
tion. One of the most beautiful and ranks with the best of 
bulbous flowers. Abundant grassy foliage. Stems a foot 
to 2 feet high, with showy rose-colored flowers. Makes a 
large clump in time. $2.25 per doz.; $15 per 100. 
Amaryllis 
For growing in the house or conservatory, few plants pro¬ 
duce as striking a display, with so little trouble, as Amaryllis. 
The bulbs should be potted in the fall, be kept rather dry all 
winter until growth starts in early spring, when they should 
be watered plentifully, fertilized, and lightly shaded. A few 
weeks, and they break into immense, lily-like blooms of 
gorgeous color and form. 
Giant American Hybrids. We believe this selection is the 
best obtainable at the present time, and we know of nothing 
that will give the amateur greater pleasure for the window- 
garden. They are of vigorous growth, free-flowering habit, 
and flowers are of enormous size. Ready November 1.

Anemone (Windfl ower) 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly 
useful as a decorative plant for house or garden, and fine for 
cutting. If planted outdoors in the fall, they must be well 
protected with leaves or other litter. They may also be 
planted in the spring in well-drained soil, and will flower 
during the summer, starting in May. When planted in pots, 
place 4 or 5 bulbs in a 5-inch pot, cover 1 inch, and keep 
moderately cod; give but little water until growth begins.

Small bulbs, producing grassy leaves near the ground and 
very slender but stiff, naked stems bearing a head of waxy 
flowers of great lasting quality. Their culture is the same as 
for narcissi, and just as easy. They are readily naturalized in 
almost any soil. Plant them about 3 inches deep and leave 
them alone. They are especially happy under oak and 
deciduous trees, in the rock-garden, or in rough, gritty soils. 
Hardy; give light protection. 
Capitata. There are several species of Brodiaea called Cali¬ 
fornia Hyacinths, and a good one is Capitata. The stem is 
slender, capped with a head of violet-blue flowers. They 
revel in hot, dry places among rocks or in grit, and flower 
very early. Height, 6 to 12 inches. 65 cts. per doz.; $4 
per 100.

with dazzling crimson flowers. Prefer a loose, gritty soil.

late cluster with flowers of a fine golden yellow on stems

Calochortus 
Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip 
Native plants, mostly from the west coast states. Large, 
cup-shaped flowers, one to many on a stem, wonderfully 
marked with eyes and dots and pcncilings in rich colors. Com¬ 
parable only to orchids in wonderful variability of beauty. 
Mariposa is the Spanish word for butterfly, applied to these 
because of the markings resembling those on the butterfly’s 
wings. Hardy with slight protection. Bloom in May and June.

good soil will do, but they should have plenty of water while
