HARDY OUTDOOR BULBS 
Fall Flowering Bulbs 
COLCHICUM 
Colchicum are auumn-flowering bulbs with large Cro- 
cus-like blossoms which appear during the months of 
September and October, without foliage. The foliage, 
however, appears early in the spring about the same 
time the Tulips and Hyacinths are in bloom and disap- 
pears in June. They are especially recommended for 
planting between the taller growing rock plants. 
AUTUMNALE MAJOR—A large variety with massive 
flowers of rosy purple. Each, 35c; 3 for $1.00; dozen, 
$3.60. 
CROCUS 
Fall Flowering 
Are very similar to the spring flowering crocus only 
that they flower in the fall; are perfectly hardy and 
bloom after most all summer flowers are gone. 
ZONATUS—Rose-lilac, yellow center and orange zone; 
ethereal in lovely coloring. Doz., 75c: 100, $5.50. 
CHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow) 
These are among the most beautiful of our spring- 
flowering bulbs, coming into bloom soon after the snow 
is gone. Grows well in any good garden soil, and when 
once planted requires no further care. Looks best when 
planted in lines or clumps. 
LUCILLAE—Flowers of brilliant sky-blue color with 
white center. Doz., 60c; 100, $4.00. 
MUSCARI 
GRAPE HYACINTHS—Flower in Early May 

GRAPE HYACINTH 
HEAVENLY BLUE—While there are several kinds of 
Muscari, we consider this variety the best for mass 
planting. Their flowers open just about the time that 
the Chionodoxas and Crocuses are going. They do 
very well in the wild garden and also in the grass if it 
is not too rank. They are nice under trees and along 
the borders where they may be left undisturbed. 
Dozen, 65c: 100, $4.50. 
Flower in March 
Regardless of snow or cold, rain or shine these little 
flowers will come forth in March and bloom before any- 
thing else has hardly started. The first signs of spring 
after a dreary winter; plant among shrubbery and rock- 
ery, once planted will come every March. 
CROCUS 
SPRING FLOWERING 
These are the cheerful messengers of Early March 
Winds. After the long winter months we look anxiously 
for the first sign of spring blossoms and these are in the 
great majority of times the ones that reward our pa- 
tience. Peeping, as they often do, through the last snows 
of the season, we are always glad to accord them a 
welcome that seems to be in itself sufficient reward.

GALANTHUS (Snowdrops—Hardy) 
These are particularly effective under hedges, under 
cedar trees and in thin woodland. They are the first to 
open in the spring and are very lovely. They dislike 
being moved and should be left alone to naturalize 
themselves. Plant two inches deep; mulch in winter with 
straw, hay, leaves or well-decayed manure. The single- 
flowering Snowdrops, if they are left alone, soon take 
to producing double flowers. The differences in varieties 
of Snowdrops are so comparatively small that it does 
not seem worth while to offer them in variety. 
GALANTHUS NIVALIS—Per Doz., 75c: per 100, $5.50. 
SCILLAS (Squills—Hardy) 
These flourish in sun as well as in shade under trees. 
They are not particular about the soil in which they 
grow. They are ideal for the wild garden but they are 
not to be despised in the border, especially if they are 
left alone for two or three years without being dis- 
turbed in any way. They are splendid in the rock gar- 
den. Produce drooping bell-like flowers. 
SIBIRICA BLUE (The Siberian Squill)—The earliest to 
flower, connecting the flowering of the Crocuses with 
that of the Narcissi. Fine for naturalizing under trees 
or in open woodland, producing drooping, bell-like 
flowers on stems 3 to 4 inches high. Succeed well in 
the rock garden. Color bright blue. Plant 3 inches deep 
in shade, half shade or in full sun. Per Doz., 75c; per 
100, $5.25. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA—(Wood Hyacinth or Spanish 
Blue Bell)—Erect flower-spikes, about 15 in. high, with 
attractive Bellflower-like blooms during May and early 
June. Will grow in sun or shade, even under trees, 
but do best in partial shade in good rich soil. Set 
bulbs 3 in. deep and 6 in. apart. Ideal for naturalizing. 
CAMPANULATA BLUE— Porcelain blue, candelabra- 
shaped bells, blooming with the May-flowering Tulips. 
Per Doz., 75c; per 100, $5.00. 
CAMPANULATA ROSEA—tThis is a soft lilac-rose form 
of this type. Per Doz., 75c: per 100, $5.00. 
CAMPANULATA WHITE—The pure white form. Per 
Doz., 75c: per 100, $5.00.
