Scilla Italica 
This rare Scilla is seldom found in catalogs but we have been growing it 
for a number of years and are glad to make this lovely flower available. It is 
splendid for the rock garden or flower border. The flowers come in late May 
and are noted for the fullness and sweetness of their lilac-like fragrance. 
The leaves are few in number and much shorter than the flower stem which 
rises to a height of 10 to 12 inches, carrying a large number of the daintiest 
little bells of pale blue. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep in any good well drained garden 
soil. Hardy. Blue. 60c doz., $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000.

from one to six flower stems 3 to 4 inches tall, each stem carrying from one to 
three or more open bell-like flowers. Splendid for edgings, massing in flower 
beds and borders or in the rock garden. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep.

Heavenly Blue. Produces freely well-fur¬ 
nished spikes of little globular bells— 
grape - like clusters closely set — of the 
brightest and richest shade of gentian- 
blue imaginable. The flowers when grown 
in masses produce a wonderful effect, and 
fill the garden with a lovely clove-carna¬ 
tion scent. Valuable for cutting. Height 8 
in. Plant 3 to 4 in. deep. 45c doz., $3.25

in. deep. 65c doz., $4.50 per 100, $40.00 
per 1000. 
Trillium 
Trilliums are very attractive plants of the 
Lily family. They are among the choicest 
of all early spring plants and should be 
more common in gardens. Planted on the 
north side of the house or in any shady 
location, with ferns for a background or 
under taller growing shrubbery, they are 
ideal. They thrive in woods mold and de¬ 
light in rich, deep, rather moist soil in 
partial shade. Plant them deep, 5 to 6 
inches, and 8 to 10 inches apart. Leave 
them undisturbed for years and they will 
multiply into splendid clumps having 
many flowers. 
Grandiflorum is a handsome species 
growing a foot or more high and having 
pure white flowers with wavy petals that 
change to rosy pink as they fade. This 
variety is later than Ovatum, starting to 
flower before that variety has faded. 3 
bulbs for 25c, 90c doz., $7.00 per 100. 
Ovatum. The Pacific Coast representative 
of Grandiflorum. It is taller and more ro¬ 
bust growing with larger flowers, and is 
the earliest to flower. Flowers open pure 
white, gradually tinge pink and finally 
become deep wine-purple. The change in 
color is an added charm. 3 bulbs for 25c, 
90c doz., $7.00 per 100. 
Trilliums for naturalizing, unnamed. $4.00 
per 100.
