9089 Mixed, All Sorts Beauti- 
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 Dogtooth 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.

RANUNCULUS 
8977 Tecolote Giants The largest and most magnificent strain 
ever offered. Giant double and semi-double flowers, 3 in. and more 
across, are freely borne on strong stems, 12 to 15 in. long. Our mixture 
contains a wonderful range of colors—yellows, from straw to deep 
golden yellow; all shades of red; orange; pink; many ringed and tipped 
with a deeper color. Do best in a shady location and in moderately rich 
soil. Fine for cutting. Not reliably hardy north of Washington, D. C., 
except in warm, sheltered locations. Splendid for growing in frames or 
pots. Set roots, claws downward, 2 in. deep and 4 to 6 in. apart. If 
grown in pots, plant 6 to 8 roots in a 6-inch pot; cover roots with one 
inch of soil, and allow 2 inches of space between the bulbs.

BRODIAEA 
9497 Mixed Colors 
Neat plants with grassy basal 
leaves from which arise very 
slender stems bearing heads 
of showy little star-shaped 
waxy bloomsin yellow, white, 
blue, lilac and purple. Grow 
15 to 20 in. high and bloom 
during May and June. Easily 
grown in almost any soil, but 
prefer one that is light and 
porous, well drained and of a 
sandy or loamy nature. They 
delight in semi-shade and 
are lovely for the rock gar- 
den and do well under oak 
and deciduous trees. Plant 
bulbs 2 to 3 in. deep and 
protect in cold sections with 
several inches of straw or 
strawy manure after the 
ground has become frozen. 
May also be grown indoors 
in pots. 3 for 30¢;

shrubbery or in the rock garden.

apart. If planted where bulbs can 
be left undisturbed for many years,
