Miscellaneous Bulbs and Roots 
for outdoor ano naturalistic plantings 
Chionodoxa (Glory-of-the-Snow ) 
The most beautiful of dwarf blue spring flowers, resembling those 
of Scilla sibirica, but larger, slightly taller, and more handsome. 
The Chionodoxas are very hardy, thriving in any ordinary garden 
soil and in almost any situation. They should be planted in the 
fall, 3 inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a square foot, in a sunny 
location or in half shade and in places where they can remain un- 
disturbed for a number of years. They bloom in April.

doxa. Sold out for 1942.

blue. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100; $55.00 per 1000.

called ‘‘American Cyclamen.’’ Produces rose-colored, often white 
flowers, in May and June. Thrives in rich, moist open woods or 
in the garden border. Strong roots. $3.00 per doz.; $22.50

inches. (Color illustration, page 29.) 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Eremurus (Fox-Tail Lilies; Giant Asphodels) 
Extremely fine hardy plant with gigantic flower-spikes in lovely 
soft colors. The stalk rises 6 to 8 
feet and more from a large tuft of 
long, narrow leaves and is crowned 
with a 2- to 3-foot inflorescence com- 
posed of many closely set, star-shaped 
flowers. A most striking and effective 
subject for the border or among shrubs. 
They flower in late May and June and 
after flowering die away entirely, so it 
is well to plant some spreading and 
quick-growing annual nearby to fill 
up the space left vacant. They re- 
appear very early in the spring and 
must be protected against late frosts.
