FALL PLANTING AND EARLY SPRING FLOWERING—FOR PERMANENT EFFECTS 
FOR PLANTING in accord with the natural surroundings of your gardens, expressive of perfect harmony and good 
taste; along the woodland path, in wildflower sanctuaries, along rivulets, brooks or wherever naturalistic planting is 
wanted. For planting of banks or ground cover among daffodils hyacinths or tulips, in the border in drifts or as edging. 
CAMASSIA ESCULENTA. Very showy in mass plant- 
ings. Forms flower spikes up to 2 feet high, bearing a 
cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine rich purple. 
Plant 4 inches deep. Extra-heavy bulbs, $1.50 for 10; 
$12.50 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLIAE. (Glory of the Snow). An 
extensive planting forms one of the most sumptuous dis- 
plays 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 8 to 10 
little blossoms of a sky blue with a pure-white heart, 
creating a lovely effect. They should be planted in 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. $0.75 for 10; $5.00 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLIAE ALBA. A white form of 
the above, very effective when interspersed with the blue.

Superior Mixture of Spring-Flowering Crocuses

Superior Mixture of the finest varieties of Spring Flower- 
ing Crocuses is lovely always. In drifts up against the

at the sides of the driveway, under the trees, in the 
orchard or anywhere in the garden to bring some color 
in earliest spring. Purple, amethyst, mauve, lavender, 
yellow, white, striped—all these colors mixed indeed 
produce a ravishing effect.

DICENTRA SPECTABILIS. (Bleeding Heart). The 
“Lyre Flower” or “Locks and Keys.” A charming hardy 
perennial plant of most interesting structure. The leaves 
are a fine shade of green and have much decorative value 
due to their unusual pattern. Long racemes of graceful, 
heart-shaped pink flowers, inner petals which protrude are 
white. Excellent border plants as well as a wild garden 
addition where they lend beauty and charm. Extra heavy 
clumps, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 
DODECATHEON MEADIA. (Shooting Star). Very 
pretty perennial, bearing rose-colored, often white flowers 
in May and June; sometimes called “American Cycla- 
men.” Thrives in rich, moist woods as well as in the open 
border. Extra strong roots, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS. (Winter Aconite). These pro- 
duce, at about the same time that the crocuses are in 
bloom, little yellow flowers like buttercups about 3 inches 
above the ground, with setting of fine green, frilled-like 
collars which never seem to mind the worst of weather 
conditions. They will thrive under trees where few other 
plants can hold their own. They seed themselves freely 
and colonies from self-sown seed are soon formed. Plant 
firmly 2 inches deep, in shade or half shade about 18 
bulbs to a square foot. Mulch in autumn with leaf soil. 
$0.75 for 10; $5.00 per 100. 
ERYTHRONIUM AMERICANUM. (Dog’s Tooth Vio- 
let). These are charming woodland plants, producing in 
early April, small, lily-like flowers whose colors run in 
delicate tints of white, pink, cream, bright yellow and 
rose. They thrive in shaded corners or crevices of rock- 
work. Their beauty is enhanced by their richly mottled 
leaves. They like a light, rather damp, but well drained 
soil. Plant the corms about 5 inches deep. $2.25 for 10; 
$20.00 per 100. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS (Guinea Hen Flower or 
Checkered Lily.) These produce in early April dwarf, 
pendent, bell-shaped flowers in various shades of color, 
curiously checkered, striped and splashed. They are very 
effective in colonies, requiring a somewhat dry situation. 
Invaluable for mass planting and for naturalizing. $0.75 
for 10; $5.00 per 100. 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrops). These are particularly ef- 
fective under hedges, under cedar trees and in thin wood- 
land, along the walk or in the rock garden. They are the 
first to open in spring and are very lovely. They dislike 
being moved and should be left alone to naturalize them- 
selves. Plant two inches deep; mulch in winter with leaf 
soil, leaves or well-decayed manure. The single-flowering 
snowdrops, if they are left alone, soon take to producing 
double flowers. The differences and’shadings in the va- 
rieties of snowdrops are so comparatively slight that it 
does not seem worthwhile to offer them in variety. $0.85 
for 10; $6.00 per 100.
