LEUCOJUM (Snowflake). Produce pretty, nodding: white flowers 
somewhat like a Giant Snowdrop on tall 18-inch stems. See 
photo. They bloom at the same time as Tulips, or a little earlier, 
and are lovely subjects for the spring garden too little known. 
Largest bulbs 10c each, postpaid; 3 for 25c; 85c per doz., post¬ 
paid. By express charges collect, at the rate of 8c for the double 
nosed and 6c for the large single nosed, in quantities of 25 up. 
SPANISH, DUTCH AND ENGLISH IRIS BULBS 
MUST BE PLANTED IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER 
(NOT LATER) 
-—to remain in the ground for two or three years, when the colonies 
then formed must be divided in August, and replanted in Septem¬ 
ber. It will be found that the bulbs have tripled and quadrupled. 
Plant these Iris bulbs in well-drained, light, sandy loam, if pos¬ 
sible; fertilize with bone meal at planting time, and mulch well dur¬ 
ing the winter in cold climates. 
Contrary to the general belief, these beautiful bulbous Iris, which 
are annually forced by the millions in florists’ greenhouses for the 
cut flower trade, are entirely hardy out-of-doors; all they need in 
cold climates is a liberal mulch of dead leaves or straw during the 
coldest winter months. A customer grows them successfully year 
after year in Montreal, Canada, where the thermometer goes way 
below' zero. In milder sections of the country they need no protec¬ 
tion whatever. The Spanish Iris make an early fall growth, so do 
not be alarmed when you see the tiny onion-like leaves appear in 
November. 
Since some of the bulbous Iris are always sold out before the last 
orders come in, please order in July or August. Later always name 
one or two substitutes in case one or tw'o of the varieties you are 
ordering are sold out. 
Please note particularly the Dutch, Spanish and English Irises 
are not for sale in the spring, and we usually plant what is left on 
hand in October, the latest. Hence you cannot obtain any of these 
after they have been planted. 
PLEASE NOTE: If you lose your bulbs during the winter and 
they fail to come up, it is not our fault nor the bulbs’, so do not ask 
us to replace them the following year. If you plant the bulbs early 
—by September—in well-drained soil, then upon approach of cold 
weather mulch them well, you won’t lose them.

LEUCOJUM (SNOWFLAKE) Like a lovely mammoth snowdrop 
ST. BRIGID ANEMONES 
Many find the cultivation of these lovely flowers difficult, and 
needlessly so, for their requirements are few and simple. I find that 
they soon die if left in the ground for more than one year, so that it 
pays to get fresh corms every year, either from seedsmen or by 
raising them. Seed sown in early spring on well-prepared ground 
begins to flower in September and goes on as long as frost keeps off, 
to give a lovely display in spring. Being difficult to thin after ger¬ 
mination, the seeds should be sown so thinly that this operation 
will be unnecessary. When the foliage is drying off in summer, lift 
the corms carefully and dry off, replanting in the September follow¬ 
ing, and discarding them after they have flowered for the second 
time. 
ANEMONES —St. Brigid. Plant either in fall or early spring, but 
fall planting is best as the Anemone is a very early spring 
bloomer. Jumbo size, 75c per doz.; 3 doz. for $2.00, postpaid. 
Stock of this size is not large. First size, 1 year old (all will 
bloom), 50c per doz.; $2.00 for 50; $3.50 per 100, postpaid.
