MISCELLANEOUS BULBS 
AMARYLLIS 
Halli (Lycoris squamigera) (Hardy Amaryllis',. The leaves 
appear quite early in the Spring and grow until July 
when they ripen and die to the ground. Then in August, 
the flower buds spring up and grow rapidly to a height 
of 2 or 3 feet. These buds soon open into clusters of from 
8 to 12 large Lilv-like flowers of a rosy lilac color. They 
are very handsome and always excite admiration. 
$1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 
CAMASSIAS 
Hardy, bulbous plants with attractive, star-shaped flow¬ 
ers borne freely on stems 2 to 4 feet tall. They will thrive in 
any reasonably good garden soil and are especially fine for 
naturalizing. 
Esculenta. A very showy variety with rich, dark blue, star¬ 
shaped flowers on 2-foot spikes. Excellent for naturalizing 
or for growing in groups in the garden. Plant the bulbs 
about 4 inches apart and 4 inches beneath the surface. 
70 cts. per doz., $5.00 per 100 
Leichtlini, Blue. Blooms of beautiful azure-blue, larger 
than those of Esculenta, and borne on stems that often 
reach a height of 4 feet. Excellent for group plantings in 
the hardy border. $1.10 per doz., $8.00 per 100 
CHIONODOXA • Glory-of-the-Snow 
Delightful blue-flowering bulbs for borders, banks, and 
rock-gardens. They resemble the Scillas, but instead of 
drooping the inch-broad flowers are held erect on 5-inch stems. 
They are extremely permanent and are among the finest 
early-blooming plants. 
Luciliae. Sky-blue with a white center. Large clusters of 
flowers. $1.15 per doz., $8.50 per 100 
COLCHICUM • Meadow Saffron 
These hardy Autumn-flowering plants resemble the Cro¬ 
cuses. The flowers appear in Autumn, almost immediately 
after planting the bulbs, and the leaves come up the following 
Spring. They may also be grown in pots or pans in prepared 
bulb fiber or pebbles. 
Autumnale major. Large violet-purple flowers. Extremely 
free flowering. 35 cts. each, 95 cts. for 3, $3.50 per doz. 
Bornmuelleri. Immense flowers of rich rose-lilac and white. 
50 cts. each, $1.40 for 3, $5.50 per doz. 
SPRING-BLOOMING CROCUS 
One of the earliest flowers of Spring, the Crocus is also one 
of the most graceful and lovely. Planted in September and 
October in clumps and masses, they are perfectly hardy and 
may remain in the ground indefinitely. 
Mixed, All Colors. $1.00 per doz., $7.50 per 100 
Salt Marsh Hay 
An excellent Winter mulch for Lilies, Tulips, and 
other bulbs and perennial plants. The ideal wrapping 
for Roses to protect them from Winter winds. Very 
light, free of weed seeds and easy to handle. Salt Marsh 
Hay is packed in bales of about 100 lbs. each. 
100 lbs. $2.00 (transportation extra) 
ERYTHRONIUM 
(Dog’s-Tooth Violet; Trout Lily) 
Mixed. Lovely woodland plants with prettily mottled foli¬ 
age and graceful, Lily-like flowers, b lower stems 6 to 18 
inches tall. Plant the roots as soon as received, about 3 
inches deep. 80 cts. per doz., $6.00 per 100 
HYACINTHS 
Because of their beauty and fragrance, and because they 
bloom at the same time and combine so charmingly with 
Daffodils, Hyacinths should play a part in every Spring gar¬ 
den. They are also hard to beat as pot-plants for house 
decoration during the Winter months. 
For out-of-door growing, Hyacinths may be planted in 
any reasonably good garden soil, but a well-drained location 
is always desirable. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart, with 
their tops at least 4 inches below the surface. After the first 
hard freeze, cover the bed with a light application of some 
such material as Salt Marsh Hay. 
Since the usual Holland bulbs are not available this year, 
our list of varieties has been greatly reduced. Our English- 
grown stock consists of four colors only and the bulbs, al¬ 
though not as large as the Giant Hyacinths of former years, 
will give results that will be more than satisfactory. 
In Separate Colors. 
35 cts. each, $1.00 for 3, $3.75 per doz., $28.00 per 100 
ROMAN HYACINTHS 
Blue. For indoor growing only. These dainty Hyacinths 
are wonderful for growing in pots or ornamental dishes for 
use in the house. They force very easily in bulb fiber. 
35 cts. each, 95 cts. for 3, $3.50 per 100 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA 
(Virginia Bluebells) 
Charming native wild flowers. Drooping bell-shaped 
blooms in handsome clusters. In the bud they are pink; in 
full bloom they become a pinkish lavender which gradually 
deepens to a lovely shade of bright blue. The plants grow 
to a height of about 18 inches and the foliage is a pleasing 
light green. 
We recommend them for planting in woodland nooks, 
under trees and shrubs, or in shady portions of the perennial 
border. They bloom at the same time and combine beauti¬ 
fully with yellow Daffodils. 
Mammoth Bulbs. 30 cts. each, 75 cts. for 3, $2.75 per doz.

Blue and blooming earlier. A charming companion to 
Snowdrops and Snowflakes. 85 cts. per doz., $6.50 per 100
