HARDY FLOWERING BULBS THAT BLOOM 
CAMASSIA LEICHTLINI BLUE. A hardy and showy bulbous plant 
which will do well in the border or naturalized in an open moderately 
moist woodland. Cover the bulbs 4 inches deep with fine sandy soil. 
Bears during June stately spikes 4 feet tall, carrying many large star- 
shaped blooms of a lovely bright blue color. A very interesting and 
showy American plant. 65c per dozen; $4.25 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILIAE (Glory-of-the-Snow). An extensive 
planting forms one of the most sumptuous displays of floral beauty 
a mass of blue and white, intense and brilliant. They bloom at the 
time of the Crocuses, producing dwarf flower spikes, bearing from 
8 to 10 little blossoms of a sky-blue with a pure white heart, creating 
a lovely effect. They should be planted in 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 undisturbed for a number of years.

forming natural colonies. 60c per dozen; $4.00 per 100. 
COLCHICUM 
(Meadow Saffron) 
GIANT AUTUMN-FLOWERING CROCUS 
The flowers of this accommodating plant resemble crocus. If planted 
in August or September, the flowers will appear in a short time but 
the foilage does not appear until spring. They may remain in one spot 
for years without deterioriation. The bulbs may also be bloomed in a 
sunny window without soil and water and may be planted out after 
blooming. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep. , 
Autumnale Major. Rosy purple. 25c each; $2.50 per doz. 
SPRING-FLOWERING CROCUS 
Crocus are frequently the first flowers to appear in spring, coming a 
few days after the snow disappears. They are at their very best when 
scattered over a lawn or planted in rows as a border to a bed of peren- 
nials. When used on a lawn, scatter them freely over the surface, 
then lift the sod with a trowel and slip the bulb underneath. Crocus 
may also be grown in pots or bulb pans and will produce a pleasing 
effect. The bulbs are entirely hardy, and the grass may be mowed with- 
out injuring the Crocus plants. Mixed. 10 for 75c; 100 for $6.50. 
BULBOUS IRISES 
Few bulbous plants are as easy to grow as the bulbous iris. Their flowers 
are graceful as orchids, are valuable as cut flowers and also very showy 
in the flower garden. We offer three types, Dutch, which is a splendid 
improvement over the old Spanish, and in addition to the Dutch we 
offer the English and a hybrid type known as Wedgewood. The English 
are useful for outdoor planting and follows the Dutch in bloom. Cul- 
ture—Bulbs of Dutch and English Iris when planted outdoors should 
be planted 4 to 5 inches deep.
