HYACINTHS 
ERYTHRONIUM 
(Dog's-tooth Violet) 
AMERICANUM. Charming native wood¬ 
land plants particularly suitable for the 
shady dell or woodland and line for shaded 
corners or the rock-garden. They produce 
in April, small, lily-like flowers in shades 
of white, pink, bright yellow, rose, and 
cream. The beauty of the flowers is 
greatly enhanced by the richly mottled 
leaves. They like a light, rather moist, 
well-drained soil. Plant about 5 inches 
deep. 70 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
CALIFORNICUM. Has large cream-colored 
flowers. Leaves richly mottled. Easy to 
grow, and a large colony is a beautiful 
sight. 70 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100 
CALIFORNICUM, WHITE BEAUTY^ 
Lovely large flowers, white, faintly tinged 
with cream; usually beautifully zoned with 
maroon at base. A high authority in 
Europe considers this the finest of all 
Erythroniums. 70 cts. for 10; $5.00 per 100

mottled prettily, produced on top of the

pRFFSIAS ARF FASY TO GROW 
and everyone should have several pots 
of these deliciously fragrant flowers whose 
scent will spread through the house. 
_ Our bulbs are dug late, are thoroughly 
ripened, and should not be planted before 
late September or early October. 
Plant them close together in good pot¬ 
ting soil, water well, and store the pots 
outside until real cold weather when they 
should be placed in a sunny window or 
the conservatory. Light feedings of S._ & 
W. Bulb Fertilizer will increase the size 
of the flowers and enrich their colors.
