Spring--Howertng Bulbs to Plant Chis Fall 
Fritillaria - Guinea-Hen Flower 
(Dutch) 
Fritillarias, are excellent bulbous plants for the 
rock garden or indoor culture. One species found in 
Southern California is called Mission Bells. The 
species listed below are grown in Holland and are 
popularly known as Guinea-Hen Flower. 
MELEAGRIS. The blooming season for this lovely 
little plant is early April, just at the beginning of 
the early Daffodil season. The bell-shaped flowers 
are dwarf, pendent, reddish brown and purple, and 
curiously checkered shades on stems 12 inches 
long. They are very effective in colonies, re- 
quiring a somewhat dry situation; invaluable for 
the rockery, for naturalizing and very lovely when 
grown in pans indoors. Use the same culture as 
for Freesia bulbs.
