FALL PLANTING AND EARLY SPRING FLOWERING—FOR PERMANENT EFFECTS 
FOR PLANTING in accord with the natural surroundings of your gardens, expressive of perfect harmony and 
good taste; along the woodland path, in wildflower sanctuaries, along rivulets, brooks or wherever naturalistic plant¬ 
ing is wanted. For planting of banks or ground cover among daffodils, hyacinths or tulips, in the border in drifts or 
as edging for flower beds. 
CAMASSIA ESCULENTA. Very showy in mass plant¬ 
ings. Forms flower spikes up to 2 feet high, bearing a 
cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine rich purple. 
Plant 4 inches deep. Extra heavy bulbs, $7.50 per 100; 
$72.50 per 1000. 
CAMASSIA LEICHTLINI. Same as above but stronger 
grower, flowers are larger and come in hues of a deep 
blue and creamy white. Extra heavy bulbs, $12.00 per 
100; $110.00 per 1000. 
CHIONODOXA GIGANTEA. A rare variety with pure 
white flowers. The best of the white chionodoxa. $0.85 
for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILI/E (Glory-of-the-Snow). An 
extensive planting forms one of the most sumptuous dis¬ 
plays of floral beauty; a mass of blue and white, intense 
and brilliant. They bloom at the time of the crocuses, 
producing dwarf flower spikes, bearing from 8 to 10 
little blossoms of a sky-blue with a pure white heart, 
creating a lovely effect. They should be planted in 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 undisturbed for a number of years. The flowers 
will cross with one another and will seed themselves, 
forming natural colonies. $2.50 per 100; $22.50 per 
1000. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILI/E ALBA. A white form of 
the foregoing, very effective when interspersed with the 
blue. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILI/E ROSEA. A soft lavender- 
pink form of the above. Very fine for rockeries. $1.00 
for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA SARDENSIS. This is the earlier of the 
two varieties to come into bloom, and the first real blue 
flower of the year. This is a rich blue self-color. The 
remarks made for the variety “Luciliae” apply to “Sar- 
densis.” $2.75 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 
CYPRIPEDIUM ACAULE (The Pink Moccasin Flower). 
This, the largest flowered of our “lady-slippers,” is of 
bright rose, veined darker, the spike rising from the 
center of two broad green leaves. One of the most beauti¬ 
ful of our native orchids and being equally at home in 
either a moist or dry spot. Extra strong, selected clumps, 
$5.00 for 10; $47.50 per 100. Strong, flowering clumps, 
$2.00 for 10; $17.50 per 100. 
CYPRIPEDIUM PARVIFLORUM (The Small Yellow 
Lady-slipper). It differs from the large yellow “lady- 
slipper,” C. pubescens, in the superior richness of its 
color as well as in its size. It has also the charm of fra¬ 
grance. Flowers during June. It can be successfully 
grown in any semi-shady position. Extra strong, selected 
clumps, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 per 100. Smaller, but 
strong, flowering plants, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 
100 . 
CYPRIPEDIUM PUBESCENS (The Large, Common Yel¬ 
low Ladyslipper). Petals are slightly twisted, of a clear 
yellow, with brown ribbons. Very fragrant. The easiest 
of all “ladyslippers” to adapt itself to domestic condi¬ 
tions. Will do satisfactorily planted in either sunny or 
shady positions. Flowers during May. Extra strong, 
selected clumps, $5.00 for 10; $47.50 per 100. Smaller, 
but strong, flowering plants, $2.00 for 10; $17.50 per 
100 . 
CYPRIPEDIUM REGIN/E. Also known as C. spectabile 
and C. hirsutum. (The Queen Ladyslipper or the 
Showy Ladyslipper.) The finest and most showy of our 
native orchids. Height 2-3 feet, bearing several large, 
round leaves with one or two large, white to rose colored 
flowers. It is a bog-loving plant, yet does well in a moist 
and partly shaded bed of peat or leaf mold. Flowers in 
late June. Extra strong, selected plants, $7.75 for 10; 
$75.00 per 100. Smaller, but strong, flowering plants, 
$3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. 
DODECATHEON MEADIA (Shooting Star). Very 
pretty perennial, bearing rose colored, often white flow¬ 
ers in May and June; sometimes called “American cy¬ 
clamen.” Thrives in rich, moist woods as well as in the 
open border. Extra strong roots, $1.75 for 10; $15.00 
per 100. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS (Winter Aconite). These pro¬ 
duce, at about the same time that the crocuses are in 
bloom, little yellow flowers like buttercups about 3 
inches above the ground, with setting of fine green, 
frilled-like collars which never seem to mind the worst 
of weather conditions. They will thrive under trees 
where few other plants can hold their own. They seed 
themselves freely and colonies from self-sown seed are 
soon formed. Plant firmly 2 inches deep, in shade or 
half shade about 18 bulbs to a square foot. Mulch in 
autumn with leaf soil. $3.00 per 100; $27.50 per 
1000 .
