CHIONODOXA - Glory-of-the-Snow 
A mass 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 12 to 15 
flowers of a sky-blue with a pure white heart, creating a lovely effect. 
They should be planted in the 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. All are 6 to 7 
inches high, therefore excellent in the rockery as well.

Plant Bulbs Immediately Upon Receipt 
These produce about two weeks before the Crocus are in bloom, little 
yellow flowers like Buttercups about 3 inches above the ground, with set- 
tings of fine green, frilled collars which never seem to mind the worst of 
weather conditions. Will thrive under trees where few other plants can hold

or full sun, about 18 bulbs to a square foot.

ceived. 
ERYTHRONIUM - Trout Lilies 
These are charming woodland plants, producing in early April, small Lily- 
like flowers of which the colors run 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 rockery.

TECOLOTE FREESIAS (Large Flowered) 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with ‘its delicate perfume. Although they are 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted eariy, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room.

Grandiflora Each $1.50, Three $4.25, Doz. $15.00 
A rare bulb from the Amazon, producing deliciously scented pure white 
waxy fiowers shaped not unlike the Daffodil. The foliage is handsome

garden in warm parts of the country. Does well in the cool greenhouse. 
Easily grown house plant. Give same care as Amaryllis. 
FRITILLARIA - Imperialis 
(Crown Imperial) 
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 
have to be carefully protected against sharp winds, as the tall plants grow 
4 feet and more high. They are real “grandmother's favorites’ and should 
be in every hardy border or old-fashioned flower garden.

FRITILLARIA - Guinea Hen Flower 
Fritillarias are lovely bulbous plants for rock garden or indoor culture. 
The stems are leafy and most graceful, with many pendent, bell-like flowers. 
One species found in Southern California is called ‘Mission Bells,’’ while in 
other places local species are called Brown or Crocolate Lilies. 
Meleagris Doz. 85c, 25 $1.55, 100 $5.50 
These produce in early April dwarf, pendent, reddish brown and purple, 
bell-shaped flowers in curiously checkered shades, on stems 12 inches 
high. They are very effective in colonies, requiring a somewhat dry 
situation. Invaluable for the rockery, for naturalizing and very lovely 
grown in pans indoors; use same culture as for Freesia.

Meleagris Varieties in Mixture Doz. 70c, 25 $1.30, 100 $4.00 
GALANTHUS - Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong to the 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. To get a lovely effect they 
must be planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and shrubs, 
in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the lawn should not be mown 
before the leaves are withered, or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Nivalis Six 55ce, Doz. 95c, 25 $1.70, 100 $6.50 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white nodding blooms are 
out before the frost is out of the ground; one of the lovely bulbs that 
tell us spring is almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of shrubs 
or under trees is worth while. Once planted they remain for a lifetime. 
(Color illustration, page 51.)

Double form of the common Snowdrop, requiring same care.

the end of March, and flower when most bulbs have gone. Noted for their 
lasting qualities, slender stems and dainty, Orchid-like flowers.
