ful little plants, 6 to 7 in. high, with 
small, Lily-like, nodding flowers in 
delicate tints of white, pink, cream, 
lavender, bright yellow and rose. 
Leaves are often prettily mottled. The 
shape of the roots gives them the 
common name of Dog’s Tooth Violets, 
while the mottling of some leaves 
gives them also the name of Trout 
Lilies. Particularly suited for wood- 
lands, shaded corners or crevices of 
the rock garden. Bloom in April. 
Plant bulbs upright as soon as re- 
ceived, 3 in. apart and 2 to 3 in. deep. 
Do best in well-drained, loamy or 
gritty soil, moist and rich in leaf-mold. 
Provide a covering of 4 to 6 inches of 
half-rotted leaves after bulbs are 
planted. Sure to be admired.
