MISCELLANEOUS BULBS, continued 
CHIONODOXA 
(Glory-of-the-Snow) 
A mass planting forms one of the most sump- 
tuous displays of floral beauty—a mass of blue 
and white, intense and brilliant. They bloom at 
the time of the Crocuse s, producing dwarf flower 
spikes that bear from twelve to fifteen flowers 
of sky-blue with a pure white heart, creating a 
lovely effect. They should be planted in the 
fall, 3 inches deep, about eighteen bulbs to a 
square foot, in a sunny location or in half shade 
and in places where they can remain undis- 
turbed for a number of years. The flowers will 
cross with one another and will seed themselves, 
forming natural colonies. All are 6 to 7 inches 
high, therefore excellent in the rockery as well. 
Gigantea (Alle ni). Large light blue flowers, 
most charming in masses. 12 for 65c; 25 for 
$1.20; $4.00 per 100.

to eight blooms on each stem. 12 for 65c; 
25 for $1.20; $4.00 per 100.

variety. 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35; $4.50 per 100.

ers. 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35; $4.50 per 100.

25 for $1.20; $4.00 per 100. 
Mixed. All varieties mixed. 
$1.20; $4.00 per 100. 
ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite) 
About two weeks before Crocus are in bloom, 
these little yellow flowers like buttercups appear 
about 3 inches above the ground, set in fine 
green, frilled collars which never seem to mind 
the worst of weather conditions. 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 at once upon receipt, firmly, 2 inches deep 
in shade or full sun, about eighteen bulbs to a 
square foot. 
Hyemalis. The common Winter Aconite. 
Clear yellow; very early. Good for the rock 
garden, under Sedums or under trees. Plant 
bulbs at once when received. 12 for 65c; 
25 for $1.20; $4.00 per 100. 
Hyemalis Cilicica. Deep yellow flowers. 
Foliage bronzy and finely cut. A lovely rock- 
garden variety. 12 for 65c; 25 for $1.20;

Eucharis grandiflora - 
EUCHARIS (Amazon Lily)

the country. An easily grown house plant.

ERYTHRONIUM (Trout Lily) 
Also known as Dogs-Tooth Violet 
and Adders-Tongue 
These are charming woodland plants produc- 
ing small lily-like flowers in early April in delicate 
tints of white, pink, cream, bright yellow and 
rose. They thrive in wooded places, under 
shrubs and in shaded corners or crevices of the 
rock garden. 
Mixed. A fine mixture of many shades. Splendid 
for naturalizing and for rock garden in light 
shade. 12 for $1.25; 25 for $2.25; $7.50 per 100. 
FREESIA 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower 
grown; a single bloom permeates the living-room 
with its delicate perfume. Quite popular and 
very easily raised. Procure the bulbs as early as 
possible and plant immediately, six to twenty- 
five in a single pan. The soil should be a mixture 
of good loam. Place the bulb pan outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; water regularly and 
keep growing all the time. In November, before 
frost, the pots should be placed in the window 
of a cool room.

FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS

The Crown Imperials, with their stately, 
gracefully drooping flowers, should not be 
missed in any garden. They want a good soil, 
much sun, and can be left undisturbed for years. 
Must be planted as early as possible and in a 
sheltered location. These real ‘‘grandmother’s 
favorites” should be in every hardy border or 
eee ones flower garden. Height about 3 
eet.

Holland that these bulbs will keep ground moles 
away from the garden. 
FRITILLARIA (Guinea Hen Flower) 
Meleagris. In early April appear the dwarf, 
pendent, reddish brown and purple, bell- 
shaped flowers in curiously checkered shades, 
on stems 12 inches high. They are very 
effective in colonies. Invaluable for the rock 
garden, for naturalizing, and very lovely 
grown in pans indoors. If grown indoors, use 
same culture as for Freesia. 12 for 75c;

GALANTHUS (Snowdrop) 
Most beloved early-flowering spring bulbs. 
They require very little attention and_can 
remain undisturbed for years and years. They 
like rather moist and cool soil, and to give the 
best effect they must be planted thickly. They 
can be grown under trees and shrubs, in wood- 
lands, and the rock garden. 
Nivalis Flore Pleno. Double white. Very 
lovely. 12 for $1.25; 25 for $2.25; $7.50 per 100. * 
Nivalis Simplex. White. The old standby. 
12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35; $4.50 per 100. 
IXIA (Corn Lily) 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony 
(South Africa) are far too little known. They 
should be planted in late autumn and in cold 
districts must be covered with a thick layer of 
straw or leaves. They are splendid for southern 
states. There are few bulbs so lovely and grace- 
ful, and those fortunate enough to live where 
the climate is mild should plant them by the 
hundreds. 
Afterglow. Orange and amber, center deep 
bronze. Outstanding. 12 for 95c; 25 for $1.65; 
$5.25 per 100.

IXIOLIRION 
Pallasi (Tataricum). A little-known but choice 
hardy bulb which in early June produces 
several deep blue tubular flowers on slender 
stems. One of the last of the small “‘spring” 
bulbs to flower. 12 for 75c; 25 for $1.35; 
$4.50 per 100. 
12 for $1.25; 25 for

Ixioides Odorata. Very long-lasting exquisite 
light blue flowers with faint heliotrope fra- 
grance on tall, wiry stems. For greenhouse 
culture or outdoors in warm states. Blooms in 
March and April. Unquestionably one of the 
loveliest new bulbs introduced. We predict 
it will be as much used as Freesias as soon as 
the price permits. 6 for 95c; 12 for $1.85. 
LEUCOJUM (Snowflake) 
Aestivum. White, tipped green. Very showy 
flowers like a large Galanthus, with six and 
more blooms on a stem. Flowers in May.
