FRITILLARIA (Frit-ill-ar'-ia)—Tliese bulbous ])lauts of the west coast are to 
me tlie most fascinating’ of all. They are lovely in woodland or border, ex¬ 
cellent for cutting either by themselves or with other flowers. But they do 
have a habit of resting for a year after flowering. The bulbs I shall send yon 
T ho])e all will flower the first year, but if some of them do not, as I cannot 
tell for sure, please don’t disturb them. Plant 3 to 4 inches ai)art, 3 inches 
dee]), in woodland soil or the rock garden and do not disturb for many years. 
The Fritillaria should be planted early—we shi]) in July.

Thunbergii —This is not a native west coast Pritillaria, but originally came from 
Ja])an woodlands. It is now grown in onr western nurseries. The slender leaf 
with its cnrlycne on the end, together witli its many “morning green” bell 
shaj)ed flowers, gives it such a si)rightly ai)])earance. Plant in woodland, 
leafy soil or ])artial shade in mass for best effect.
