FRITILLARIA (Frit-ill-ar’-ia )— 
These bulbous plants of the 
west coast are to me the most 
fascinating of all. They are 
lovely in woodland or border, 
excellent for cutting either by 
themselves or with other flow- 
ers. But they do have a habit 
of resting for a year after flow- 
ering. The bulbs I shall send 
you I hope all will flower the 
first year, but if some of them 
do not, as I eannot tell for sure, 
please don’t disturb them. Plant 
3 to 4 inches apart, 3 inches 
deep, in woodland soil or the 
rock garden and do not disturb 
for many vears. The Fritillaria 
should be planted early — we 
will ship in August. 
Lanceolata — Green and brown,
