nearest what you want. But do not order unless you are willing to accept a 
substitute color, because if you do order a blue we may have to send a pink or 
white. Price, largest size on hand, $1.00 ea. Smaller sizes, 1” or more, 75c ea. 
Muscari. Grape Hyacinths. var. Heavenly Blue or Assorted Blue varieties.

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. hyacinthoides. One of the finest bulbs for the outside garden as it is 
perfectly winter hardy in north. It has a densely’ flowered raceme often 3 ft. 
or more in height. Plant in full sun. If early planted, in the south it will 
flower in late winter to spring. In the north about mid-summer. Flowers are 
very useful for cutting. The bulb is extremely hardy and a strong grower and 
will even recover when left out of the ground a year. Take my advice, plant 
it. Top size, 25c; M., 15c. $2.35 and $1.50 doz. 
S. peruviana. The short scape is terminated by a many-flowered, broad 
and compact raceme. This is the only Scilla that is not hardy in the north but 
there it is a most useful and easily grown pot bulb. Grow it in a very cool 
room. It needs full sun exposure. Assorted blue tones, 35c. Assorted whites, 
white to cream and sometimes with very light lilac to lavender markings, 35c. 
General mixture, 30c ea. $2.50 doz. 
Camassia leichtlinii. Lavender blue to aconite blue. Hardy north or 
south. Close relative of Scilla, with flowers in a spreading raceme on a tall 
stem. Plant 4” deep, 4” apart in full sun or slight shade. 25c ea. $2.15 per doz. 
Ornithogalums are closely related to Hyacinths and Scillas. Horticultur- 
ally there are two groups, tender and hardy. The tender ones are nice subjects 
for pot culture in the north, and for the garden in mild southern climates. 
They may be stored over winter in the north and planted outside very early. 
Ornithogalum arabicum. The showiest species. The round black ovary in 
the center of the white flower is a beautiful contrast. Flowers in a compact 
raceme at top of stem giving the appearance of an umbel. Tender. Easy in 
pots. Super jumbo bulbs 25c. L. 20c; M. 15c; S. 10c. 
O. caudatum. A familiar pot plant in the north which is commonly but 
erroneously called ‘‘Sea Onion.’’ The foliage and flowers are pretty but not 
outstanding. L. 50c; Jumbo, 75c. 
O. nutans. Lovely flowers of a most unusual color, appearing to be silver 
and white as a result of the green on back of the petals showing thru the white 
upper side. Margined white. Hardy. 15c. $1.25 per doz. 
O. thrysoides. 15” stems topped by a dense, white flowered raceme, 3” 
wide. Flowers when cut will last six weeks and are shipped from South Africa 
to the London market. Tender. Easy in pots. 10c ea. 75c doz.
