ERANTHUS HYEMALIS 
(Winter Aconite) 
Loved for their early flowers and beautiful foliage, coming along with Snow¬ 
drops, their boon companions, and with which they form a striking contrast. The 
golden blossoms look charming, resting on an emerald green cushion of leaves 
which has been compared to an Elizabethan Ruff. After the flowers have withered 
the leaves make a charming ground cover which remains until seeds are formed. 
Winter Aconites flourish under trees and in moist situations where few other 
plants will thrive. They require to become established before flowering freely and 
then should not be disturbed. Set new tubers about 3 inches deep and 4 inches 
apart. Plant early. 45c doz., $3.00 per 100, $28.00 per 1000. 
CHIONODOXA 
(Glory of the Snow) 
The Chionodoxa is one of the loveliest spring flowers, and when established, 
its sheets of blue in very early spring are a great attraction. It should be used in 
borders as edgings, also massed on rockwork or in the shrubbery. Plant Sep¬ 
tember to November, 3 to 4 inches deep.

shaded outside pale sea green and covered with a silken sheen that gives them a 
most uncommon effect. The sturdy flower stalk grows about a foot high, strung 
With a dozen pendulant flaring bells of large size. The large three-cornered seed 
pods that follow the blossoms up the stem are attractive and ornate. They are 
valuable as cut flowers and arrange well with tulips. Wherever shown they have 
created much admiration and demand. Thf.ves in dense shade or open border, 
naturalizes well, hardy, easy to grow and increases rapidly. A valuable addition 
to the shaded border. Plant in the fall 3 to 4 inches deep. 50c doz., $3.00 per 100,

CROCUS 
The Crocus, one of the earliest flowers of spring, occupies a deservedly prominent place in every 
garden. They are extremely effective, whether planted in bold groups in the grass or in broad wavy 
lines along the border. Plant them early. Place the top of the corms 3 to 4 inches below the surface 
and for finest effect an inch apart. Leave undisturbed until crowded. The following large-flowered
