TRITELEIA COERULEA—This is the BLUE STAR FLOW- 
ER. Wide blossoms of china blue, varying to indigo, each an 
inch or more across, great multitudes of them for a long 
succession of glorious spring weeks. We would want no 
garden without this flower. At Philadelphia it needs no win- 
ter protection, but in colder places we suggest that a mulch- 
ing of straw or litter be applied in late autumn. Be sure 
to take it off very early in spring, though, or you will lose 
the first pleasure of the blooming. Long-lived, given this 
handling, increasing from year to year. Bulbs naturally 
small. From the Argentine. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c; 20 for 
$1.00; 50 for $2.25. (Illustrated page 14.) 
CHERRY SUNBRIGHT—In any hot dry place in full sun this 
' will give a long summer display of luminous cherry-rose 
blossoming. The flowers are carried on many slender, almost 
invisible stems, and on one particularly fine plant we have 
counted over 200 open at a time. 16 inches. Attractive suc- 
culent foliage. Fully winter-hardy unless frost-heaving 
should throw tubers on surface during winter. Some mulch- 
ing with loose litter will prevent this. 7 for 50c; 15 for 
$1.00. (Illustrated as Talinum page 3.) 
LEUCOJUM OR SNOWFLAKE—This winter-hardy cousin 
of Amaryllis will make, when established, handsome clumps 
that carry, on sixteen inch stems, nodding snowy bells, each 
petal tipped with olive. Shade or sun. 6 for 35c; 10 for 
65c; 25 for $1.50. (Illustrated page 106), 
SHOOTING STAR—Dodecatheon Meadia. Clustered frag- 
rant flowers, from pale pink tones to deep rose. Excellent in 
shade, but does pretty well in sun, too. Flower-form rather 
like that of Cyclamen. Hardy. Each 25c; 3 for 70c; 10 for 
$2.00. (Illustrated page 12.) 
TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM — Loveliest of the Trinity 
Lilies, flowers that open snowy white, suffusing gradually 
with a pink that deepens to rich rose. It likes shade, but 
does quite well in sun, given deep, rich soil. 3 for 60c; 10 
for $1.75. (Illustrated page 3.) 
TRILLIUM LUTEUM—Really a yellow Trillium, flowers of 
lemon and buff. Marbled leaves. Hardy and easy. Each 
25c;: 8 for 70c; 10 for $2.00. 
RHEXIA VIRGINICA—Flowers of a glorious encarmined 
purple, gold-anthered, for many summer weeks. Makes a 
vivid showing. Well-shaped, deep-tinged plants to 18 inches. 
Of fullest winter hardiness, and long-lived. Also makes a 
good winter pot plant, forced slowly. Sound tubers, each 
2oestoeLore loc. 
ZYGADENUS FREMONTI—Open panicles of creamy blos- 
soms, each flower with a super-imposed center star of deeper 
yellow. A profuse bloomer, and of fullest winter hardiness. 
20 inches. Late spring. 3 for 35c; 10 for $1.00. 
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 45c; 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.75. 
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 naturaliz- 
ing, great drifts of flower-snow. 10 for 35c; 25 for 80c; 
100 for $2.85. 
DAFFODIL OLD ORCHARD BLEND—tThe Hardy Narcissi 
show a delicacy of coloring, a grace of form that seems to 
belong only to spring. They are the very breath, the em- 
bodied spirit, of the new season. Other flowers of that 
time, Muscari, Tulips, Peonies, would fit summer as well, 
but never this with the Daffodils, for they are veritably 
spring itself. Here we have a blend that includes all the 
diverse sections of the Hardy Narcissi that are suitable for 
carefree garden planting. It will surprise you with the wide 
variation in its showing. Spread it freely all about. You 
will enjoy it the very first spring; then every year the 
clumps will get bigger and finer. We take pride in this 
mixture, something a bit better than the commercial bedding 
and naturalizing blends. It’s very much worth what we ask 
for it, and that’s 9 bulbs for 50c; 20 for $1.00; 100 for 
$4.50; 250 for $10.50. (Note that certain Narcissus varieties 
make always large bulbs, other kinds always small bulbs, so 
a good mixture such as this must include wide range of 
sizes. ) 
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 85c.
