DUTCHMANS BREECHES Dicentra cucullaria 
Fern-like leaves in spring which die away in hot weather. The trouser-like 
white flowers have indeed a Dutchman’s waistline with golden trimmings in 
April. From a bulb found in rich leaf mold. 100 for $8.00; 12 for $1.25; Each 
15c. 
GERANIUM, WILD Geranium maculatum 
Dark pink flowers on leafy plants up to 18 inches. Not showy but a nice 
plant for shaded gardens. 12 for $2.50; Each 20c. 
GINGER, WILD Asarum canadense 
The soft texture of the large heart-shaped leaves about 8 inches from the 
creeping root-stalks makes this one of the best woodland carpets. One needs to 
search close to the ground for the reddish-brown bell flowers in May. 100 for 
$10.00; 12 for $1.50; Each 20c. 
GINSENG Panax quinquefolium

GOLDTHREAD Coptis trifolia 
Creeping plant with white star flowers on four inch stems. Glossy almost 
evergreen leaves in the strawberry pattern. Give a peaty or acid soil. 12 for 
$2.50; Each 15c. 
HEPATICA Hepatica acutiloba 
An easily grown and favorite early spring wild flower. Just give it a well 
prepared humus bed and you will enjoy the white, pink or lavender, even blue and 
almost purple flowers arising from the previous year’s still green leaves. The 
new foliage is attractive allsummer. Attracted the early colonists because of a 
supposed resemblance of the leaf to form of the liver, hence by the doctrine of 
signatures, a sovereign remedy for ailments of that organ. 100 for $10.00; 12 for 
$1.50; 4 for 50c; Each 20c. 
HEPATICA, ROUNDLOBED Hepatica triloba 
If you have a natural or a prepared acid soil area try in it this hepatica. 
The same as above except for the leaf. 100 for $12.00; 12 for $2.00; Each 20c. 
JACK-IN-THE-PULPIT Arisaema triphyllum 
Jack is one of the Methodist persuasion, I think, anyway he readily moves 
his pulpit from the woods to your garden. Occasionally we find giant ones, 
regular Henry Ward Beechers, from bulbs 5 inches across. 100 for $10.00; 12 for 
$1.50; 3 for 40c; Each 20c.
