ERANTHIS TUBERGENI 
res cd 
Evanthis—- Winter Aconite 
Pretty little yellow flower like buttercups, each flower surrounded 
by a frilly little ruff of green composed of finely cut foliage. They 
brave the most inclement weather to bloom early in the spring two 
weeks or more before the Crocuses and are lovely under shrubs 
and trees where they colonize rapidly by off-sets and self-sown seed. 
Nice with Snowdrops and Scilla bifolia. 
They must be ordered early and planted immediately upon receipt; 
this applies also to Autumn Flowering Crocus. Depth to plant, about 
3 inches and about 4 inches apart. 
CILICICA. From Asia Minor. A deep yellow flower with finely cut 
bronzy foliage. 6-55c, 12-$1.00, 25-$1.75, 100-$6.00. 
HYEMALIS. Winter Aconite. Very early clear yellow flower. Plant 
rather thickly for quick effect. 6-55c, 12-$1.00, 25-$1.75, 100- 
$6.00. 
TUBERGENI. A sensational new origination of Van Tubergen. The 
flowers, which are almost twice as large as E. hyemalis, are of shining 
golden yellow. Last in perfection a long time because they are sterile. 
A. M. London and Award of Garden Merit R. H. S. 3-70c, 6-$1.30, 
12-$2.60, 25-$4.70, 100-$18.00. 
TUBERGENI GUINEA GOLD. A superior form of E. Tubergeni. The 
large flowers are deep yellow with darker flush. The foliage is at- 
tractive with bronze tinges. Prolongs the season considerably by 
reason of its late flowering. Sweetly scented. Each-40c, 3-$1.05, 
6-$1.95, 12-$3.85, 25-$6.90, 100-$26.80. 
Fritilaria-Crown Jmperials 
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 ap- 
preciated 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. 
AURORA. Deep orange red. The variety most commonly grown. 
Each-60c, 3-$1.55, 6-$2.95, 12-$5.90, 25-$10.55. 
LUTEA MAXIMA. Rich yellow flowers. The true variety. Very vig- 
orous grower. Each-$1.75, 3-$4.30. 
ORANGE BRILLIANT. We recommend this as one of the best. 
Large crowns of orange with a tawny flush, on tall robust stems. 
Each-60c, 3-$1.55, 6-$2.95, 12-$5.90, 25-$10.55. 
RUBRA MAXIMA. A lusty grower with enormous red flowers. Extra 
fine. Each-60c, 3-$1.55, 6-$2.95, 12-$5.90, 25-$10.55.

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 be- 
cause 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 spectacu- 
lar as Fritillaria imperialis it has a charm all its own. 
The leafy graceful stems are hung with many pend- 
ant 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 plant- 
ings the first year. Blooms in May. 
ALBA. A delightful white with checkerings of green- 
ish yellow. 6-55c, 12-$1.00, 25-$1.75, 100- 
$6.00. 
APHRODITE. Very fine strong growing variety with pure white 
flowers. 3-40c, 6-60c, 12-$1.15, 25-$2.10, 100-$7.50. 
ARTEMSIS. A fine variety with large bells of two tones of wine 
color producing an effect of checkered grayish purple. 3-40c, 
6-60c, 12-$1005, 25-$2. 10, 100=$7-50: 
CHARON. The darkest colored variety of all—very dark purple bor- 
dering on the black. 3-60c, 6-$1.10, 12-$2.15, 25-$3.95, 100- 
$15.00. 
SATURNUS. A gay effect of pinkish checkering. 3-40c, 6-60c, 
12=$1.15, 25-$2.10, 100=$7.50. 
VERY FINE MIXTURE. 6-45c, 12-75c, 25-$1.40, 100-$4.50.
