ting, as they last for weeks. Excellent for growing indoors in pots, 
the same as you would Hyacinths. Do not plant outdoors unless 
you live in a frost-free location.

9498 Dainty, white, bell-shaped, pendent 
flowers attractively tipped with green; 
somewhat like a mammoth Snowdrop,

for naturalizing in the mixed border, 
among shrubbery or in the rock garden.

apart. If planted where bulbs can be 
left undisturbed for many years, they 
will increase into large clumps which 
become more beautiful each spring.

in a deep, rich, moderately moist soil and 
semi-shade.

Brodiaea 
9497 Mixed Colors Neat plants 
with grassy basal leaves from which 
arise very slender stems bearing heads 
of showy little star-shaped waxy blooms 
in yellow, white, blue, lilac and purple. 
They are very pretty and last well either 
on the plant or when cut. Grow 15 to 
20 in. high and bloom during May and 
June. Easily grown in almost any soil 
but prefer one that is light and porous, 
well drained and of a sandy or loamy 
nature. They delight in semi-shade and 
are lovely for the rock garden and do 
well under oak and deciduous trees. 
Plant bulbs 2 to 3 in. deep and protect 
in cold sections. May also be grown 
indoors in pots.
