suddenly come upon three of these giants in the back of the flower 
border, the effect would be one of breathtaking beauty, creating a 
picture you will long remember. $1.75 each 3 for $4.50

that always looked poor in the spring. Plant 5” deep, 3” apart. Likes soil 
that contains leaf mold. Plant at once, do not delay for one day.

FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS (Guinea henflower) 
If you have had disappointment with this genus do not despair for this is 
one of the easiest to cultivate and most enduring. By following the instructions 
given, you should be rewarded by beautiful displays of checkered flowers. They 
are well worth the little care they demand. Plant in lightly shaded places; 
they dislike the mid-day sun. They will last longer in this location. Plant 
4” deep, in loamy leaf mold, 3” to 4” apart. The nodding bell-shaped flowers 
are usually produced two to three on 12” to 16” stems; April, May flowering. 
F. alba — An exquisite white form of the common Fritillaria Meleagris. Very 
pretty checkered pale greenish-yellow on the white ground with a 
well defined green rib. $.60 per 10 $5.00 per 100 
F. Aphrodite — One of the most superb and elegant of the spring white 
flowers. Resembles Fritillaria alba but is larger in all its parts. 
symphony of white pendant bells of great substance and unsurpassable 
in gracefulness. Very rewarding. Produces five on a stem 16” to 
18”tall. Planted against a tall rock or in front of evergreens, its full 
beauty is manifested. Plant in quantity, 6 to 10 in a group. We 
recommend it highly for plantings of all kinds, rock garden, founda- 
tions, flower border, etc. $.65 per 10 $5.50 per 100

color, being checkered a greyish-purple producing a very showy 
effect. Use the same way as the preceding. $.65 per 10 $5.50 per 100 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrop) 
These silvery snow bells are the earliest of the spring flowers. Sometimes 
they are so precocious that they get covered by snow but emerge safe and 
unharmed by heavy frost. We are certainly very fortunate to offer the largest 
selection of these perhaps ever assembled in America, to delight you with joy 
in the gloomy days of the earliest spring. Plant 5” deep and 3” apart, 
always in drifts for best effect.
