ERYTHRONIUM BLEND---The blossoms are of lily form, 
elfin woodland lilies that will fill with spring-tide pleas- 
ure, yearly repeated, any shady corner where you may 
plant them. The color range is from cream, through lemon 
and gold, to purple, lavender or rosy pink. Often there 
are contrasting color bands. Height runs from four to as 
much as eighteen inches, according to species. Size of 
bulb varies greatly also, according to kind. When you 
purchase them, the lot should show both small and rela- 
tively large bulbs, as indication of adequately inclusive 
blending. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 19 for $1.00; 50 for $2.45.

MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE—This delightful Grape Hya- 
cinth will give great spring spreads of vivid, soul-stirring 
blue, deep sky brought to earth. Splash it about liberally. 
You will like it in border or rock garden, against shrubbery 
back-drops, or naturalized in lawn, meadow, orchard or 
woodland, and if you wish, you may force it for indoor 
winter blossoms. 10 for 35c; 25 for 80c; 100 for $2.85. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM—Hardy Star of Bethle- 
hem. Wide white stars, masses of them, look upward. 
Prodigal of bloom, this easy bulb is effective in rock 
gardens or as an edging. Recommended, too, for spacious 
naturalizing, in meadows, along roadsides, or in drifting 
snowy banks on lightly wooded hills. 10 for 30c; 25 for 
Tce lO00=for= 2.65, 
TRUE BULB IRISES—Dutch and Spanish Xiphium Irises 
in mixture. The blossoms are very like Orchids, at least 
in reminder. Sometimes they have been called ‘‘Poor man’s 
Orchid’, but rich men are glad to have them, too. There 
will be blossoms of russet and smoky bronze, pale blue, 
indigo, rich yellow, softly tinted whites. Long lasting 
when cut. Hardy and easy. Mixed colors, size “B” bulbs, 
nice blooming size and just right for quantity garden 
plantings. 17 for 50c; 36 for $1.00; 100 for $2.50. 
THE PLUME HYACINTH—A most unusual beauty, no 
bulb at Old Orchard attracts more attention than this 
during its season of blooming. Great ostrich plumes of 
blossoming, each floret with its delightful lavender-lilac 
petalage all shredded, crisped and curled to feathery form. 
Botanically it is an aberrant and giant form of Muscari 
comosum. Hardy, permanent, unique. 4 for 25c; 10 for 
50c; 22 for $1.00. (Illustrated page 3.) 
LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA—Sometimes it is called The 
Magic Lily, or again, Amaryllis Halli. It blossoms in 
August, stems suddenly pushing through the bare earth 
to a height of perhaps two feet, ending in a crown of 
big trumpet flowers, beauties in those exquisite opaline 
tones that lie between blue and pink. The blossoms are 
richly fragrant. The foliage appears in the spring, ripen- 
ing off in June, and from then until the sudden and 
spectacular August blooming there is no sign that bulbs 
are there at all. Of full winter hardiness, no protection 
needed, and exceedingly long-lived, but please note that 
good blooms may not appear first year, for like Peony 
it is likely to take a season to settle itself in a new home. 
(Illustrated page 3.) Each 60c; 3 for $1.65; 10 for $4.75. 
LYCORIS RADIATA—Clusters of charming flowers in rich, 
true red, the petals much recurved, waxy, crispy, sparkling 
as though dusted with gold. 18 inches. Blossoms in late 
summer after its foliage has disappeared. Does not possess 
the extreme winter hardiness of Lycoris squamigera, but 
may be grown well north if carefully protected with straw 
or litter mulching in late autumn. It winters outside 
without any protection at all at Philadelphia and New 
York. Also makes an interesting pot bulb. Each 20c; 
3 for 55c; 10 for $1.60. 
ANEMONE CORONARIA MIXED—Poppy-like flowers in 
vivid colorings, including blue, indigo and scarlet. Often 
zoned. 10 inches. Usually winters in north if well mulched 
Also suitable for cool pot culture. Exceedingly showy. 
6 for 25c; 25 for 75c. 
RANUNCULUS SPLENDID MIXED—Magnificent double 
and semi-double flowers on 15-inch stems, straw to gold; 
orange, scarlet and crimson, with pink tones and others 
ringed or _ petal-tipped  contrastingly. Shade-tolerant. 
Recommended for pot culture, but will often winter out- 
side also if heavily mulched as cold weather sets in. 6 
for 25c; 25 for 5c. 
BLETILLA HYACINTHINA—An Orchid that seems fully 
hardy north, but it will need mulching the first winter. 
Large fragrant flowers of amethystine purple, carried on 
15-inch stems. Handsome as a conservatory Orchid, and 
you can, with care, grow it out-of-doors, even in New 
England. Shipment in late October. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00.
