BULB FLOWERS 
For Fall Planting 
The kinds offered here should all be planted 
in the autumn, to blossom the following spring, 
or in the case of forcing bulbs, during the winter. 
Usually available, unless otherwise mentioned, 
from early September until past the middle of 
November, but better mention an alternative 
kind or two on orders sent in after the middle 
of October, for naturally some sorts become de¬ 
pleted. Garden hardiness may be assumed un¬ 
less statement or implication to contrary ap¬ 
pears but of course some protection of straw 
or leaves may be needed in very exposed 
northern locations. 
Bulbs are not prepaid. If you want them by 
mail, add 5% to your remittance for points east 
of Pittsburgh and north of Potomac, 10% to the 
Mississippi, and 15% west of the river. This is 
to cover postage and packing. I 3hall assume 
that shipment is desired by express, collect, if 
no allowance for postage accompanies order. 
CRIMSON SATIN FLOWER—Brevoortia Ida-Maia. Clus¬ 
tered flowers of glistening richest red, eaoh tube tipped sur¬ 
prisingly with a recurved scalloped edging of bright apple- 
green. Extraordinarily vivid. Sometimes called Floral Fire¬ 
cracker, and it looks the name. Rather easy. 20 inches. 
3 for 40c; 8 for $1.00. 
IXIOLIRION MONTANUM—Splendid clusters of starry 
lily-trumpets, usually rich blue-indigo, but rarely lilac or 
violet. June blooming here. This strain is of great winter¬ 
hardiness, even in western Canada, having come originally 
from the Kirghiz steppes. Each 25c; 3 for 65c. 
CALLIPRORA IXIOIDES SPLENDENS—Pretty Faces. 
Salmon yellow to golden buff flowers, each petal with a 
single brown stripe in the center. The blossoms, large and 
star-shaped, are carried in up-facing umbels on 18-inch 
stems. Handsome, easy and hardy. Sometimes classed as 
Brodiaea. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c. 
ERYTHRONIUMS MIXED—Charming flowers like very 
dwarf Lilies, for woodland, shady corner, or not too s-anny 
rockery. The color variations are remarkable, cream, deep 
yellow, purple, lavender or rosy pink. Often there are con¬ 
trasting color bands. Plant the bulbs as soon as you get 
them. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00. 
LEUCOJUM OR SNOWFLAKE—A piquant Cinderella of 
the Amaryllis family, with pure white, sweetly scented flow¬ 
ers in early spring. Each petal carries quaintly a tiny tip 
of almost bottle green. Give some mulching first season. 
After that, when established, it seems fully hardy. You 
will like the Snowflake better each year, and look forward 
to its blooming. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1.00; 50 
for $3.00. 
AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA—This stately Amaryllis is 
well-called “The Beautiful Lady.” The sweetly fragrant 
flowers are satiny trumpets of carmine pink to lustrous 
rosy crimson. It makes a delightful pot bulb, blooming 
year after year; or planted deeply in a not too-exposed 
position, it will usually winter over safely in the open 
ground as far north as New York City. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM—The Hardy Star of 
Bethlehem. Enormtous quantities of pure white up-facing 
flowers in robustly branching umbels. Dwarf. Very pretty. 
A rugged individualist that needs no fostering care. 10 for 
40c; 25 for 90c; 100 for $3.00. 
BRODIAEA BLEND—The rather tall and slender stems bear 
clusters of waxen flowers that vary from close trumpets to 
wide stars, according to species; and in color run from 
tinted white, to lilac, lavender and rich glossy purple. Then 
there are others that are close to indigo blue, rosy pink, or 
yellow with salmon tintings. They are hardy and long- 
lived in any well-drained soil, and will even thrive in light 
shade. Please note that the bulbs are naturally small, but 
not the bloom. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 21 for $1.00.
