Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 
for outdoor and naturalistic plantinas 
Chionodoxa (Glory-of-the-Snow) 
The most beautiful of dwarf blue spring flowers, resembling those 
of Scilla sibirico, but larger, slightly taller, and more handsome. 
The Chionodoxas are very hardy, thriving in any ordinary garden 
soil and in almost any situation. They should be planted in the 
fall, 3 inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a square foot, in a sunny 
location or in half shade and in places where they can remain un¬ 
disturbed for a number of years. They bloom in April. 
Luciliae. Bright sky-blue flowers, with large white centers. (Color 
illustration, page 43). 40c per doz.; $2.75 per 100; $25.00 
per 1 000. 
Luciliae alba. A white form of the above. Very effective when 
used with the blue. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Luciliae rosea. Soft rosy pink. A most dainty variety of Chiono¬ 
doxa. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 
Sardensis. The flowers are rich deep blue, with small white centers. 
45c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $27.50 per 1000. 
Gigantea. Resembles C. Luciliae, but larger blooms of soft gray- 
blue. 45c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $27.50 per 1000. 
Dodecatheon 
Meadia (Shooting Star) . Very attractive perennial plant sometimes 
called "American Cyclamen." Produces rose-colored, often white 
flowers, in May and June. Thrives in rich, moist open woods or 
in the garden border. Strong roots. $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 
per 1 00. 
Eremurus (Fox-Tail Lilies; Giant Asphodels) 
Extremely fine hardy plant with gigantic flower-spikes in lovely 
soft colors. The stalk rises 6 to 8 feet and more from a large tuft 
of long, narrow leaves and is crowned with a 2- to 3-ft. inflor¬ 
escence composed of many closely set, star-shaped flowers. A most 
striking and effective subject for the hardy border or among shrubs. 
They flower in late May and June and after flowering die away 
entirely, so it is well to plant some spreading and quick-growing 
annual nearby to fill up the space left vacant. They reappear very 
early in the spring and must be protected against late frosts.

Fritillarias 
A group of plants closely related to the Lilies. The various types are adapted to

to the wild garden and rockery, also the open garden.

1 foot. 60c per doz.; $4.00 per 100.

gardens. They are among the most beautiful and colorful species of this flower.

$1.50 per doz.; $1 0.00 per 1 00.
