FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS, MAJESTIC 
"CROWN IMPERIALS" 
►// 
These are the real robust majestic plants, also known as “Crown Imperials’', which produce their very 
large and extremely beautiful flower chalices in the early days of April. At the top of the stem, closely 
wreathed with fine green foliage, hang the large flower-chalices of a very fine shape, bearing the stamens 
in a very graceful and peculiar way. If placed in a sunny spot they may be left there for years in succession. 
We specially recommend them for groups, beds and edgings, and in front of shrubs and underwoods. They 
should be planted 4 inches deep and 12 inches apart.

CHEAP MIXTURE OF BULBS FOR GROWING WILD 
There are very many varieties of flowers for growing wild, and if one wants to plant a few of every 
variety one must own a large garden. If one plants only one or two varieties the effect is rather monoto¬ 
nous. The more different varieties of these wild flowers are planted together the more picturesque the 
show' will be. To achieve this effect also in small gardens, we have composed this mixture. Everything in 
this line is to be found in it; they are all early flowering and of about the same height viz. Crocus, Winter 
Aconites, Hyacinthus Muscari, Scilla Siberica, Snowdrops and Chionodoxa. The color variation of this 
assortment is very beautiful, whereas the flowering time 100 fOT & 1 90 
lasts several months. Per 25 $ — .55, per 500 $ 9.—
