MUSCARI (GRAPE HYACINTHS) 
CAMASSIA (Camas) Muscari (Grape Hyacinths) 
This Oregon native bulb has not been used in gardens in 
anything like the quantity it deserves. We use bulbs from all 
over the world and overlook one right at home that is superior 
to many of the foreign importations. 
While the camassias are usually thought of as bulbs which 
grow in ground that is very wet in winter, that is frequently 
not the case particularly with Leichtlinii. They thrive splen¬ 
didly under ordinary garden conditions in full sun or in partial 
shade. As the bulbs may be left undisturbed for years they 
are excellent for naturalizing. Plant in the fall about six 
inches deep, preferably in clumps of a dozen or more. 
LEICHTLINII. This is the most beautiful of the camassias 
and the strains we list are the finest to be had anywhere. 
Well grown plants often reach a height of four or five feet 
with as many as 100 buds that open in long succession. The 
beauty of the blue types is greatly enhanced by the bright 
golden anthers. 
Deep Purple Blue. This is the finest camas that we have 
ever seen. The color is a deep glistening purplish blue with 
bright yellow anthers. Strong vigorous grower. 12 for $1.00, 
100 for $7.50. 
Bright Medium Blue. There is considerable variation in 
this strain, from lavender-blue to violet-blue, but all are beau¬ 
tiful. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00, 1000 for $45.00. In this type 
only we can supply a second size blooming bulb at 12 for 60c, 
100 for $4.00, 1000 for $35.00. 
White. Some specimens are pure white, others have a 
creamy tinge and occasionally one is tinged with lavender 
blue. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.50. 
All Colors Mixed. An excellent mixture containing all the 
above. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00, 1000 for $45.00. 
Leucojum (Snowflakes) 
AESTIVUM. Apparently the variety that we have been 
calling Vernum is properly Aestivum. In any case it is an 
attractive flower like the snowdrops but with longer stems 
and more flowers and later flowering. Nodding white blossoms 
tipped green on stems up to a foot high. The foliage re¬ 
sembles a narcissus and the culture is much the same. Plant 
about 3 or 4 inches deep. 12 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
Grape hyacinths are one of the most dependable of small 
bulbs for naturalizing. Each bulb bears several spikes that 
last a long while. Established clumps, particularly in partial 
shade, grow stems that are long enough for cutting. The bulbs 
are so inexpensive that they can be used in large masses. 
ARMENIACUM. This is a taller and stronger grower than 
Heavenly Blue. Each bulb produces many spikes of deep cobalt 
blue flowers. Strong spicy fragrance. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
HEAVENLY BLUE. A splendid variety for mass planting 
as it increases rapidly. Each bulb produces several spikes of 
bloom in succession. The color is a bright deep blue. Standard 
size, 12 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. Extra large bulbs, 12 for 60c, 
100 for $4.00. 
Scillas 
The scillas are most satisfactory bulbs for naturalizing and 
borders. They thrive in w'oodland or full sun and increase in 
beauty from year to year. Rodents or insects do not bother 
them. The campanula)a (hispanica) varieties have erect stems 
10 to 12 inches high—higher in rich shady places. To obtain 
the best effects they should be left undisturbed for several 
years when they form good clumps. 
CAMPANULATA (hispanica) ALBA MAXIMA. Fine large 
flowering white. The spikes somewhat resemble Lily-of-the- 
Valley blossoms. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
CAMPANULATA BLUE. Fine deep blue. Tall vigorous 
grower. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
CAMPANULATA ROSEA. A very attractive shade of soft 
pink. Fine large spike. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
CAMPANULATA MIXED. An excellent mixture of all the 
above colors. 12 for 50c, 100 for $3.50. 
NUTANS ALBA MAJOR. The pure white form of the 
English bluebell or wood hyacinth. The little bells are more 
slender than those of the campanulata varieties, and the 
whole plant is more light and graceful. Very free flowering 
and easily grown. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00.
