31 FRITILLARIA FOR GENTLE DELIGHT 
Dainty exquisites of the Lily tribe, Fritillarias present 
few difficulties of culture or hardiness to the person who 
succeeds with the ordinary Liliums. While some are bright 
and gaudy enough, mostly they have a pensive charm that 
appeals to the quieter mood. The flowers vary from flaring 
bells to typically recurved lily form. Most of them will fit 
the rock garden ; use them, too, for shade-edge colonies, in 
an old orchard, or to gladden the turn of a woodland path. 
Fritillary colorings are laid on often in tesselations of 
shading, but sometimes the outside of a bell may be one 
color, the inside another, as with the scarlet and yellow 
of F. recurva. Variations in white, cream, yellow, rose, 
mulberry and violet may be expected, “y” culture. Splen¬ 
did mixture. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 35c; % oz. 60c.
