Named Vawieties. We can send named sorts in red, pink, yellow bronze and 
a few of the unusual colors but no white. We do not know exactly what the

choice of color to the best of our ability. All bulbs will be labeled as to the 
variety and color. Price 65c per doz. 25 for $1.25. 100 for $4.00. 500 for 
$17.50. 1000 flor $32.50. 
Please do not write and ask for a list of available varieties. 
Colchicum is the bulb famed for its ability to produce flowers from a dry 
bulb lying on a shelf. They do still better in the garden. Culture, easy. They 
may be grown in rockwork or border, or among low growing plants like sedums, 
which makes them especially effective. Full sun preferred or half shade. 
Colchicum speciosum. The best and largest species and hard to get. Flowers 
up to 6” across. Violet to pink with white eye. Order at once as they bloom 
in late Aug. to early Sept. not available after Sept. 15. Top size 50c ea. $6.00 
per doz. Small sedum clump 15c. 
HYACINTHS 
Because of the war, it is impossible to buy Dutch Hyacinths. Very few 
are grown in America. But we have plenty of Roman Hyacinths and other 
species like Scillas that are very closely allied. 
Blue Roman Hyacinths do much better usually in the garden than the 
Dutch type. They have even a sweeter fragrance and produce more spikes per 
bulb tho the raceme has fewer flowers. But most people consider them more 
graceful. Plant 3” deep in the south. In the north a little deeper and mulch the 
bed. Rich sandy loam is best. Sept. to Oct. is best time to plant. They force 
well in pots. Large bulbs, 10c. Per doz., $1.00. 
White Roman Hyacinths, 15c. Per doz., $1.50. 
Pink Roman Hyacinths. 25c. Per doz., $2.50. 
Grape Hyacinths. Muscari, Heavenly Blue, Racemes of closely placed ex- 
quisite blue, tiny bells. Nice in pots or garden. 3 for 10c. 40c doz. Per 100, 
$3.00. Jumbo bulbs, 5c ea. Per doz., 50c. 
SCILLAS 
Scillas are closely related to Hyacinths. Scilla hispanica and S. nonscripta 
look so much like Roman Hyacinths that they are often confused with them. 
All are useful in the garden or in pots and for cutting. All are hardy in the 
north except S. peruviana. 
S. hispanica (campanulata). Blue. All colors of this species require half 
or more shade. 7c ea. 50c per doz. 
S. hispanica., var. “Sky Blue.’’ Lighter color, large and later. 10c ea. 
LOCLOOZ: 
S. hispanica, var. Arnold Prinson. The largest blue and longest spikes. 
Late. 10c ea. 85c doz. 
S. hispanica alba, White flowers. 7c ea. 60c doz. 
S. hispanica, var. Alba Maxima. Tallest and largest white flowering. 10c 
ea. 85c doz. 
S. hispanica rosea, Pink flowers. 7c ea. 65¢ doz. 
S. hispanica. Assorted colors, many choice. Assorted sizes. Some are small 
but nearly all should bloom. 7c ea. 65c doz. 
S. nonscripta rosea. The species is very much like hispanica. Rosy pink. 
Half shade. 8c ea. 75c doz. 
S. italica. The species we listed as this last year, long doubtful, now proves 
to be S. hyacinthoides. But this one is the true S. italica, one of the smaller 
Scillas. Pale blue flowers densely placed on a 10” raceme. Has the full sweet 
fragrance of lilac. Slight shade or full sun. 7c ea. 60c doz. 
S. hyacinthoides. We were long doubtful of the identity of this rare species. 
Has a slender densely flowered raceme. Deep blue. 20” to 40” tall. This is one 
of the finest of all. It does well in full sun. Top size, 25c, M. 15c. $2.50 or $1.50 
per doz.
