Miscellaneous Bulbs and Boi oOots 
FALL PLANTING AND EARLY SPRING AND SUMMER FLOWERING—FOR PERMANENT EFFECTS 
F OR PLANTING in accord with the natural surroundings of your gardens, expressive of perfect harmony and good taste: 
along the woodland path, in wild flower sanctuaries, along rivulets, brooks or wherever naturalistic planting is wanted. 
For planting of banks or ground cover among Daffodils, Hyacinths or Tulips, in the border in drifts or as edging for flower 
beds. Many exquisite novelties for the rock garden. 
CAMASSIA ESCULENTA. Very showy in mass plantings. 
Forms flower spikes up to 2 feet high, bearing a cluster of 
star-shaped flowers of a very fine rich purple. Plant 4 inches 
deep. Extra-heavy bulbs, $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
CAMASSIA LEICHTLINI. Same as above but stronger grower; 
flowers are larger and come in hues of a deep blue and creamy 
white. Extra-heavy bulbs, $1.25 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA GIGANTEA ALBA. A rare variety with pure 
white flowers. The best of the white Chionodoxa. $1.50 for 
10; $12.50 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. The flowers 
will cross with one another and will seed themselves, forming 
natural colonies. $0.75 for 10; $5.00 per 100; $47.50 per 1000. 
See illustration, page 46. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILIAE ALBA. A white form of the above, 
very effective when interspersed with the blue. $0.85 for 10; 
$6.00 per 100. 
DODECATHEON MEADIA (Shooting Star). Very pretty per- 
ennial, bearing rose-colored, often white flowers in May and 
June; sometimes called “American Cyclamen.” Thrives in 
rich, moist woods as well as in the open border. Extra-strong 
roots, $3.00 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS (Winter Aconite). These produce, at 
about the same time that the Crocuses are in bloom, little yel- 
low flowers like Buttercups about 3 inches above the ground, 
with setting of fine green, frilled-like collars which never seem 
to mind the worst of weather conditions. They will thrive under 
trees where few other plants can hold their own. They seed 
themselves freely and colonies from self-sown seed are soon 
formed. Plant firmly 2 inches deep, in shade or half shade 
about 18 bulbs to a square foot. Mulch in autumn with leaf 
soil. $5.00 per 100; $45.00 per 1000. 
ERYTHRONIUM AMERICANUM (Dog’s Tooth Violet). These 
are charming woodland plants, producing in early April small, 
Lily-like flowers whose colors run in delicate tints of white, 
pink, cream, bright yellow and rose. They thrive in shaded 
corners or crevices of rockwork: Their beauty is enhanced by 
their richly mottled leaves. They like a light, rather damp, but 
well-drained soil. Plant the corms about 5 inches deep. $1.75 
for 10; $15.00 per 100. See illustration, page 46.

5 flowers to a stem. Leaves are richly mottled. $1.00 for 10;

the variety “Californicum.” Creamy white on outside with 
citron center. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM GRANDIFLORUM ROBUSTUM. These flow- 
ers are of the brightest Buttercup-yellow. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 
per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM HENDERSONI. Similar to “Californicum,” 
but the flowers are of a light purple with the centers a dee 
maroon. $1.25 for 10; $10.00 per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM REVOLUTUM. Large flowers which upon 
opening are white tinted lilac and which may become purplish 
as they age. Very robust. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM REVOLUTUM (var. “Pink Beauty”). These 
are of a soft pink with occasional flowers coming up white. 
$1.75 for 10; $15.00 per 100. 
FRITILLARIAS 
For stateliness and distinctiveness the Fritillarias are su- 
preme. Coming into flower in late April, they provide an in- 
teresting color accent. The tall-growing varieties, F. Imperialis 
(Crown Imperial), are of especial value on account of the 
height reached by them. It is the tallest flower blooming at 
that time of the year. The bulb forms a vermin repellant and 
a few clumps planted among Tulips are found to be a pro- 
tection against mice. The dwarfer-growing varieties of Fritil- 
laria meleagris form interesting subjects for naturalizing along 
woodland paths, for foreground plantings in your borders or 
in front of shrubbery plantings. 
FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS MAXIMA, RED (Crown Imperial). 
A very charming Lily-like flower. These old-fashioned flowers 
are splendid for border planting. Very scarce. $5.25 for 10: 
$50.00 per 100. 
FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS, ORANGE BRILLIANT (Crown Im- 
perial). The orange form of the above. Very scarce. $5.25 
for 10; $50.00 per 100. See illustration, page 46. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS (Guinea Hen Flower or Checkered 
Lily). These produce in early April dwarf, pendent, bell- 
shaped flowers in various shades of color, curiously checkered, 
striped and splashed. They are very effective in colonies, re- 
quiring a somewhat dry situation. Invaluable for mass plant- 
ing and for naturalizing. $0.75 per 10; $5.00 per 100; $57.50 
per 1000. See illustration, page 46. 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrops). These are particularly effective 
under hedges, under cedar trees and in thin woodland, along 
the walk or in the rock garden. They are the first to open in 
spring and are very lovely. They dislike being moved and 
should be left alone to naturalize themselves. Plant 2 inches 
deep; mulch in winter with leaf soil, leaves or well-decayed 
manure. The single-flowering Snowdrops, if they are left alone. 
soon take to producing double flowers. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 
100; $57.50 per 1000. See illustration, page 54. 
LEUCOJUM VERNUM (Spring Snowflake). This is one of 
the earliest and most attractive spring flowers. Growing from 
6 to 8 inches high they bear dainty, nodding flowers which are 
white tipped with green. They should be planted in early fall 
in a good, light, well-drained soil in which they may be buried 
2 inches deep, in masses or bold clumps, to be effective 4 inches 
apart, and left alone to bloom year after year. $1.50 for 10; 
$12.50 per 100.
