Calochortus. All types. Mixed. 40 cts. per doz.; $3.00 for 100. 
AMABILIS—Rich buttercup yellow, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; 
$3.50 per 100. 
DAPHNE—Philippii, beautiful reddish purple or lilac outside, dark 
green leaves about an inch long—bracts as long or longer than 
the flowers, very rare—3 inch pot $5.00. 
DAPHNE—species name not available as this goes to press but one 
of the greatest novelty sensations in 50 years. Plant grows 3 
ft. high by 3 ft. broad and blooms continuously here from Feb. 
to Oct. with a crop of green and bright red berries a third of 
an inch long. 4 inch pot size or small balled plants $10.00. 
DAPHNE—Coliina this is another sensation listed on page 33. We 
had not seen this bloom when catalogue went to press. It is one 
of the finest things we have and the price would have been 
more if we had realized what a gem it is. The flower is fully as 
large as Odora, a deep lilac inside and out and has a very strong 
fragrance but at the same time more dainty than Odora. This 
should be introduced at $7.50. each for small plants but the 
catalogue price stands while the supply last. Only one to a 
customer and then only when ordered with other stock. 
DIPLACUS—Glutinosa, 3 ft. bushy perennial—dry banks. Pretty 
yellow flowers. April to July. 4 inch pot 50 cts. Gal can 75 cts. 
DOG’S-TOOTH VIOLETS 
( ERYTHRONIU MS ) 
The charm of these enchanting woodland plants is so well known 
that words seem futile. Had they no other beauty than that of the 
rich mottled leaves they would be well worth a place in the shady 
corner. The flowers are entrancingly beautiful, in these Western 
species, often 3 to 5 inches across, with stems as much as 18 inches 
high, although oftener 4 to 6 inches. The colors are in delicate tints 
of white, pink, cream, lavender, bright yellow and even deepest rose. 
They are hardy in the coldest parts of the United States, and 
while they are at their best in a loose, gritty soil, rich in very old 
leaf mold, they also thrive in the greatest variety of clays, grits 
and rock soils. In woodlands, in shaded corners, or in crevices in 
shade, is the place to naturalize. Plant in numbers sufficient to 
carpet the ground. 
Happiest of Western bulbs in the East are Erythroniums and 
Camassias. With any care they do well from Montreal to Georgia 
and are most beautiful and satisfactory. 
Culture. Keep the bulbs in a cool place and in barely moist soil. 
When you receive them, plant at once in moist soil. When the bulbs 
are out of the ground, they soon suffer from overdrying. Any loamy 
or gritty soil will do and light shade is preferable. In planting, set 
the bulb upright, with 2 to 3 inches of soil covering the tip; 2 inches 
apart will give room enough. 
Potting. One of the most experienced Chicago growers made a 
test of potting and had the Erythroniums in flower the first of Feb¬ 
ruary without any forcing except a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees. 
Californicum and Hartweggii were the best. I would say that one 
could rely on these and of the varieties of Californicum as well. 
Handle same as Hyacinths. 
Dog’s-Tooth Violets can be grown in pots or cold frames to good 
advantage. 
Erythroniums Californicum Bicolor, as the name signifies, has two 
vividly contrasting colors. The outer half of the petals is pure 
white, the inner bright chrome yellow, while the stamens are a 
rich gold. All Erythroniums have a faint fragrance, but “Bicolor” 
has a pronounced and delicious fragrance, enough so that from 
a few sprays the fragrance is noted across a room and from a 
bed in the open instantly catches one's attention. It is an excep¬ 
tionally good grower. Altogether one of the very best of all. 
10 cts. each; doz. $1.00; 50 for $3.00; 100 for $5.00. 
Erythroniums Hendersonii. Like Californicum, but the flowers are 
a lovely light purple with centers a deep maroon, almost black. 
Most striking. 5 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Erythroniums Johnsonii is perhaps the most lovely of all Erythro¬ 
niums.. With the stout habit of this group, it has exquisite rose- 
pink flowers. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
ELDERBERRY—Gallon can, 50-75 cts. 
ELDERBERRY—beautiful silver leafed, 75 cts; larger plants $1.50 up. 
EPIBOLIUM—Angustifolia (fire plant) 2 to 5 ft. tall—blooming May 
to July. Good sized flowers in axis of leaves, also on end of 
stem—one inch diameter. Purplish lilac. Seed, small portion 
25 cts; established plants 50 cts. 
MIXTURES AND COLLECTIONS of ERYTHRONIUMS 
A Fine Mixture will be supplied at 40 cts. per doz.; $3 per 100; $25

FR1TILLARI AS 
FRITILLARIAS are bulbous plants of the west. 
The members of this group, instead of being woodland plants, are 
found in sun in loam or clay soils. The leaves are few, crowded 
towards the base. Stems are up to 10 inches high and bear one to 
five flowers which are broad, open bells. We find that they do best 
in full sun in any well drained loam. 
FRITILLARIAS—RECURVA. Much resembles a lily and is the finest 
of the world’s Fritillarias. 1 y 2 to 3 ft. in height with stout stems 
nodding at top. The strongly recurved flowers are orange scarlet, 
the throat flecked with yellow. 10 cts each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 
per 100. 
FRITILLARIAS—PLURIFLORA. Grows 6 to 12 in. high, leafy at base 
with many beautiful large open bells of a lovely deep rose. 
Next to F. Recurva, our most beautiful Fritillaria. 10 cts. each; 
$1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Mixed 75 cts. per doz.; $6 per 100
