NORTH AMERICAN NATIVE 
BULBS AND TUBERS 
The following plants are native North American bulbous or tuberous species that 
are best planted in Fall and are here offered for Fall (September, October and Novem- 
ber) delivery only. If these are ordered in the Spring, they will be held for Fall 
delivery, but order them early to be sure we have enough to fill your orders. Most will 
be collected from the wild and shipped as such, free of soil. Others that we now have 
erowing here will be shipped in the same manner. 
In most cases, plants produced from individual bulbs or tubers are small and not 
very showy, therefore they should be planted in groups or colonies of numerous bulbs 
for the best effect. For that reason we have quoted prices in larger quantities and en- 
courage you to order in dozens or hundreds, both for better effect and for economy. 
For bulbs and tubers listed in this section, 25 or more of ONE KIND will be 
supplied at the 100 rate for that species. Plants in the general list and in Mrs. Henry’s 
list DO NOT come under this category.
