Niscellancous Bulbs 
English Iris (Bulbous) 
For Outdoor Planting Only—Mixed Colors 
Although called English Iris, this lovely bulbous Iris originally came 
from the alpine meadows of the Pyrenees. In the sixteenth century it 
made itself at home in England, hence its name. It is extremely hardy 
and loves a cool, moist soil. 
The English Iris have been almost non-existent in the United States, 
and could not be imported. Fortunately, we located a farm in Michigan 
where these Iris can be grown to perfection. Price: 3 for 40c; $1.50 
per doz.; $11.00 per 100. 
Leucojum Vernum 
(Spring Snowflake) 
This pretty bulbous plant is similar to the Snowdrop but of larger, 
stronger and more attractive habit. In rich soil it grows to a_height 
of 8 inches ‘and produces, in late April, beautiful large white flowers, 
tipped with green; excellent for cutting. $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Mertensia Virginica 
(Virginia Blue Bells) 
A beautiful hardy perennial that should be planted with Daffodils 
for contrast. The flower buds are pink, opening into lovely dainty 
Leucojum flowers of porcelain-blue, borne in nodding clusters. This beautiful 
(Spring Snowflake) spring flower starts blooming along with Daffodils and lingers to frolic 
with the May-Flowering Tulips. Delightful in the open border or 
along woody paths. Choice Selected Roots for the garden or for natur- 
alizing: Each, 25c; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. Mertensia

Soleil d’Or Narcissus 
Soleil d’Or resembles the Paper-White Narcissus very much in habit, but is 
of an exquisite deep yellow color, with an orange-yellow cup. The culture is 
the same as for the Paper-White Narcissus. We expect to have some very fine 
stock of this variety to meet the steadily increased demand of the past few 
seasons. Do not forget to order a few and get acquainted with this wonderful 
flower. 
We offer only the Exhibition Size: 3 for 40c; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 




Paper-White Narcissus 
Suitable for Growing in Water and Gravel, Sand, or Fiber. 
We handle only the Giant Grandiflora variety, which is a great improvement 
over the ordinary Paper-White Narcissus. It can be had in bloom from Christ- 
mas until Easter, either in pots, bowls, or boxes. Upon arrival, plant them 
immediately, if wanted early, and put in a cool place in cellar or pit, free from 
frost. When well rooted they can be taken into heat, and if watered freely 
they will produce an abundance of beautiful blooms. They are not hardy. 
Jumbo or Exhibition Size: 3 for 30c; $1.00 per doz.; $7.50 per 100; $70.00 
per 1000.
