Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 
for outdoor and naturalistic plantings 
Chionodoxa (Glory-of-the-Snow) 
The most beautiful of dwarf blue spring flowers, resembling those 
of Sciila sibirica, 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 1 8 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.) Selected bulbs, 45c per doz.; $3.00 per 
100; $27.50 per 1000. Regular size bulbs, 30c per doz.; $2.00 
per 100; $17.50 per 1000. 
Luciliae alba. A white form of the above. Very effective when 
used with the blue. $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100. 
Luciliae rosea. Soft rosy pink. A most dainty variety of Chiono¬ 
doxa. 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
Sardensis. The flowers are rich deep blue, with small white centers. 
45c per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $27.50 per 1000.

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.; $22.50 
per 100. 
Eranthis Hyemalis (Winter Aconite) 
Early in spring the golden blossoms look charming, resting on an 
emerald-green cushion of leaves, and forming a striking contrast 
to the Snowdrops, Scilias, and Chionodoxas. Especially valuable in 
moist situations, such as under trees, and where few other flow¬ 
ering plants will thrive. 5 to 8 inches high. 45c per doz.; $3.00 
per 100; $27.50 per 1000. 
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.

ers on 4- to 5-ft. spike. 75c each;

low. $3.00 each.

pink and orange. A very tall and

Fritillarias 
A group of plants closely related to the Lilies. The various types 
are adapted to different conditions and are quite unlike in form 
and habit. They are well suited to the wild garden and rockery, 
also the open garden. 
Meleagris (Guinea-Hen Flower). Dwarf, spring-flowering plants, 
bearing pendent, bell-shaped flowers of yellow, white, black, 
purple, striped and splashed and checkered in the most curious 
way. Exceedingly pretty in groups in the border or wild garden 
in a dry situation. Mixed colors. 50c per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Meleagris alba. A pure white form of this interesting flower. Very 
beautiful. Height, 1 foot. 60c per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 
Native Fritillarias 
Mostly from the west coast of the United States but can be 
grown in eastern gardens. They are among the most beautiful and 
colorful species of this flower.

our most beautiful Fritillaria $1.50 
per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
Pudica. From 4 to 6 inches high, with 
rather large basal leaves and erect 
stem bearing several nodding bells

lutely hardy and a gem for the rock 
garden. Like full sun and a loose, 
sandy or gritty soil. $1.50 per doz.; 
$ 1 0.00 per 1 00. 
Recurva. Much resembles a Lily and is 
the finest species. The recurved 
flowers are orange-scarlet, with 
throat flecked yellow. Stems 1 Vz to
