SCILLA CAMPANULATA 
(Hispanica) (Spanish Bluebell) 
The Spanish Bluebells are later flowering, 
coming into bloom in May, and are very valuable 
for wild gardens, woodlands, flower and shrub- 
bery borders. They are of very easy culture, 
doing well in shade as well as in the sun. In 
fact, they can be planted in any odd corner.

SPARAXIS 
Commonly known as Wandflower. Somewhat 
larger than the Ixias, to which they are closely 
related and when grown indoors should be 
treated like Ixias. The plants are seldom more 
than 12 inches tall, with fan-like foliage. The 
curiously marked, starry flowers vary greatly in 
color—orange, white, dark crimson, purple, red, 
marocn, etc., In striking color combinations. 
Finest Mixed. Delightful spring-blooming 
Cape bulbs with beautiful brightly colored 
flowers borne on graceful sptkes about 6 to 
8 inches high. They are tigered, blotched, 
spotted, streaked and flushed, a complete riot 
of color. Also excellent for conservatory and 
indoor treatment. For the southern rock 
garden they are indispensable. Protect in 
cold climates. 12 for 65c; 25 for $1.20; 
$4.00 per 100. 
TRITONIA 
Crocata. This interesting bulbous plant is 
commonly known as the Orange Ixia, which 
it resembles. Very floriferous; forces easily 
and produces lovely orange flowers. Give it 
the same treatment as Freesias and you will 
enjoy it very much. Splendid in southern 
rock gardens. Height about 10 inches. 6 for 
95c; 12 for $1.75; 25 for $3.25. 
Sparaxis 


Eremurus 
EREMURUS 
(Foxtail Lilies) 
True aristocrats of the garden are the Eremur- 
us or Foxtail Lilies. Coming as they do from 
the desert region of Turkestan, these Desert 
Candles are always objects of curiosity in 
American gardens. They are hardy and de- 
pendable, making a spectacular show from late 
May through June, and they come back year 
after year. Plant 6 inches deep im rich, porous, 
loamy soil. They require sunny, well-drained 
locations. They are best planted in the fall, and 
then mulched over winter with straw or any 
other material of similar nature. The flower 
spikes, often 6 or more feet tall, rise like great 
asparagus tips from a mass of yucca-like foliage. 
The roots multiply rapidly, and clumps of 
Desert Candles make an imposing mass in the 
shrubbery border or the perennial garden. The 
foliage disappears after the flowers, and annuals 
may be planted close to them to fill the vacant 
space. For the past several years these magnif- 
icent plants have been very scarce and expen- 
sive. However, this year we are fortunate in 
being able to offer them at a very reasonable 
price to enable you to plant a small or large 
group of these aristocrats in your garden. They 
are much more effective when planted in groups 
of not less than three, and more whenever pos- 
sible. It is no wonder these plants are expensive 
when you consider that it takes five years to 
grow one to blooming size. Those we offer are 
five years old or more, and are of blooming size. 
SHELFORD HYBRIDS

shades—coppery pink, orange, pale yellow, pink,

COLCHICUM 
(Meadow Saffron; Giant Fall Crocus) 
These autumn-flowering bulbs are among the 
most beautiful of woodland flowers and are at 
home in any sunny spot in the garden or rock 
garden. Each bulb produces a number of large 
Crocus-like blossoms which appear during Sep- 
tember and October. Plant the bulbs where they 
can be left undisturbed to increase each year. 
If kept indoors, the bulbs will bloom during 
September in the window without soil or water 
and after blooming may be planted outdoors.

bulbs; each will send up several blooms. These 
should be planted early. Order as soon as

STERNBERGIA LUTEA 
This interesting and beautiful fall-blooming 
bulb resembles the Autumn Crocus but pro- 
duces much larger blooms on sturdy, 6 to 8-inch 
stems. The flowers are rich, brilliant yellow. 
Unlike the Autumn Crocus and Colchicum, 
which it resembles in blooms, Sternbergia has 
the advantage of developing its graceful foliage 
shortly before it blooms, adding to the beauty 
of the richly textured flowers which come forth 
about the middle of September. Hardy and 
permanent in the garden, Plant the bulbs about 
6 inches deep in a well-drained, sunny location. 
In the northern states give light protection over 
winter. Bulbs should be planted early, therefore 
send your order as soon as possible. 3 for $1.10; 
6 for $1.95; 12 for $3.50.
