Crown Imperials found their way centuries ago to the gardens of 
that day and were eagerly welcomed because of the bright display 
they made in early spring. Today their stately elegance is. still 
appreciated and gardeners everywhere love them for their brilliant 
crowns made up of bells, each with its drop of nectar that seems 
never to fall. They bloom in early April and should be planted about 
6 inches deep in well-enriched soil in full sun or partial shade. They 
average about 4 feet in height. Plant immediately upon receipt of 
bulbs.

Fritillaria Meleagris 
Fritilaria Meleagris 
Commonly known as the “Checkered Lily’ or “Guinea Hen 
Flower’ because of its odd checker-like markings. It is frequently 
grown, not only because it is quaint and unusual but also because it 
can be planted with assurance that it will give freely over the years 
for every bit of attention lavished on it. Though not as showy and 
spectacular as Fritillaria imperialis it has a charm all its own. The 
leafy graceful stems are hung with many pendant bell-like flowers of 
ideal size for rock gardens or group plantings. It is much easier to 
grow than F. imperialis, is very hardy, and will be quite happy in a 
lightly shaded corner where the soil is dampish and full of much 
humus. Plant immediately upon arrival about 4 to 6 inches deep. 
Mulch new planting the first year. Blooms in May.

color producing an effect of checkered grayish purple. 6 $.70, 12 
$1.05, 25 $1.90, 100 $6.90. 
CHARON. The darkest colored variety of all—very deark purple 
bordering on the black. 3 $.50, 12 $1.40, 25 $2.65, 100 $9.65.

Galanthus ~ Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong more to Winter than to Spring for though 
they linger into the early weeks of Spring they are able to force 
their way through frozen earth and wait not upon the vernal tide. 
They require very little attention and can remain undisturbed for 
years. 1o get a lovely eect, they must be planted thickly. They can 
be grown under trees and shrubs, in woodlands as well as in borders; 
anywhere they can have a rather moist and cool soil. They may also 
be naturalized in lawns in which case the lawn should not be 
mown before the leaves are withered. 
All Bulbs Top Size, unless otherwise noted.
