Their brilliant lovely globular-shaped flowers are splendid cut flowers and 
lovely at all times. May be left undisturbed for many years. In the North, 
bulbs may be planted in April and May outdoors and will bloom in July and 
should be taken up for winter and stored dry until the following season. 
“Tecolote Doz. $0.55, 100 $4.00, 1000 $35.00 
This new giant Ranunculus is far ahead of the common types. The per¬ 
fectly double flowers are produced on tall, stout stems and appear in 
every conceivable shade of color. The blooms are many times larger 
than the old types. 
Scilla * Squill 
The rich dark blue of Scilla bifolia and the bright blue of Scilla sibirica 
in early spring render them invaluable for edgings or for massing in flower 
beds and borders. As they bloom so early in the year, it is advisable to give 
them a sunny location. They are not particular about the soil in which 
they grow. They are ideal for the wild garden but they are not to be de¬ 
spised in the border, especially if they are left alone for 2 or 3 years with¬ 
out being disturbed in any way. They are splendid in the rock garden. 
Never plant less than 12 to 18 bulbs in a clump. 
“Bifolia Doz. $0.35, 100 $2.25, 1000 $17.50 
This species flowers in March with deep gentian-blue flowers. They are 
very beautiful in combination with the early flowering Eranthis, Snow¬ 
drops, etc. 
Pratensis Doz. $0.55, 100 $3.75, 1000 $32.50 
Deep blue flowers in May, very pretty pyramidal heads and sweetly 
scented; not over 6 inches high. Excellent for the rock garden. 
“Sibirica (Siberian Squill) Doz. $0.50, 100 $3.25, 1000 $27.50 
Earliest to flower, connecting the flowering of the Crocuses with the 
Narcissi. Fine for naturalizing, producing drooping, bell-like flowers on 
stems 3 to 4 inches high. Succeeds well in the rock garden. Color bright 
blue. Plant 3 inches deep in shade, half shade or full sun. Giant bulbs.

of a wonderfully brilliant rich blue, and grow twice as tall. Highly rec¬ 
ommended. 
Scilla Sa mp a n u la fa 
(Wood Hyacinths) 
The English Blue Bells (Scilla nutans) with its long varieties (S. his¬ 
panica) has erect flower-spikes and open campanulate flowers. All are very 
effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable for wild gar¬ 
dens and woodlands, where they should be largely naturalized. Wood Hya¬ 
cinths may be planted in bare shady places and odd corners which often 
have a desert-like appearance which can thus be rendered bright and cheer¬ 
ful. They will also thrive under Fir and Pine trees, where few other plants 
will grow.

“Finest Mixed Doz. $0.65, 100 $4.50, 1000 $40.00 
Delightful spring-blooming Cape bulbs of the Ixia group, their beautiful 
flowers being borne on graceful spikes about 6 to 8 inches high and 
the colors of the brightest and all shades. They are tigered, blotched, 
spotted, streaked and flushed, a complete riot of color. They are also 
excellent for conservatory and indoor treatment. For the southern rock 
garden they are indispensable. Protect in cold climates.

(Hardy—Give Light Protection) 
Lutea major Doz $1.50, 100 $10.00 
A very effective autumn-flowering bulbous plant producing crocus-like 
flowers of a rich golden yellow. The bulbs make a charming decoration 
if planted in bowls or pots and flower a few weeks after planting. Out- 
of-doors the Sternbergia likes a warm, well-drained situation on banks 
or borders, where it should be left undisturbed. The bulbs should be 
planted 9 inches deep, and in cold districts a covering of dry litter should 
be given in winter. Fine for the rock garden.
