EXQUISITE! THIS AUTUMN-FLOWERING 
That brings to October and November a bright reflection of 
the blue skies of April and May. Here is a charming rarity for 
your rock-garden or to scatter through the shrubbery borders, 
with its clusters of large flowers of the palest lavender imagin¬ 
able in exquisite contrast to the central anthers of golden 
orange. As it is perfectly hardy, it will increase in number 
from year to year. 65c. per doz., $4.25 per 100, $38 per 1000 
Speciosus. Bright violet-blue, prettily veined, having orange- 
red anthers and light yellow throat. Large, handsome, and 
showy. Fine for naturalizing. 
65c. per doz., $4.25 per 100, $38 per 1000 
Crocus Zonatus 
Sternbergia 
Lutea major. A very effective autumn¬ 
flowering bulbous plant producing 
crocus-like flowers of a rich golden yel¬ 
low. The bulbs make a charming deco¬ 
ration if planted in bowls or pots, and 
flower a few weeks after planting. Out- 
of-doors it likes a warm, well-drained 
situation on banks or borders, where it 
should be left undisturbed. Plant 7 
inches deep, and in cold districts a cover¬ 
ing of dry litter should be given in 
winter. Fine for the rock-garden.

THESE THREE VARIETIES 
WILL BLOOM THIS FALL 
Colchicum 
Known as Autumn-flowering 
Crocus, blooming in August and 
September. Most effective in large 
groups among low-growing peren¬ 
nials, as they extend the season of 
bloom and color. 
Autumnale. Purple, with light veins. 
45c. each, $4.50 per doz. 
TRIUMPH TULIPS 
A new strain resulting from crosses of Single Early Tulips and the Darwins. The flowers are very much like the Darwins but the plants 
are sturdier and there are new Tulip colors among them. Their special importance, however, lies in the fact that they bloom in 
between the Single Earlies and the Cottages, filling that formerly bloomless gap, and remain in bloom longer than any other type.

artistically in a cut-flower arrangement. Height 28 in.
