HARDY BULB DIVERSITIES 
For Autumn Planting 
We include certain near-bulbs, plants not truly bulbs, but to 
be given general bulb handling. All are garden-hardy at Phila- 
delphia, and most of them, of course, in much colder areas also, 
but winter-protect if in doubt. All are supplied in blooming size 
stock normal to the kind. 
CALOCHORTUS OR MARIPOSA TULIP—The brilliantly col- 
ored, upfacing blossoms range from 2 to 4-inch diameters. Some- 
times the flowers are yellow, but more often a white or lilac 
ground is banded, splashed or stained with crimson, mahogany, 
chocolate or mulberry. Hardy at our nursery. Worthy of wide 
planting. Illustrated on front cover, the larger blossom. 3 for 35¢ ; 
10 for 90¢; 25 for $1.75; 100 for $6.50. 
DODECATHESN MEADIA—Shooting Star, illustrated on front 
cover (the lower blogssoms.). Clusters of fragrant flowers, pale 
pink to rose, in Cyclamen reminder. 20 inches. Sun or shade. 
Each 40¢; 3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.80; 25 for $6.10. 
ANEMONE BLANDA ATROCOERULEA—A 
lovely Windflower that bursts into a constella- 
tion of starry flowers in the most startling of 
blues at first breath of spring. 7 inches. The 
plants are tufted cushions of color. 3 for 35¢; 
10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.40. Illustrated opposite. 
ANEMONE FULGENS—tThe flowers are a 
burning scarlet that touches vermilion, as in- 
tense in red as the last in blue, and it, too, 
comes from Greece. The flowers keep in good 
condition for a long time. 12 inches. 8 for 35¢ ; 
10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.40.

CYCLAMEN NEAPOLITANUM—\tThis winter-hardy Cyclamen 
for outdoor planting, yields, in autumn, a profusion of pink to 
ecarmine blossoms over wavy, white-marbled foliage. It will de- 
light in a shady corner. Tubers, each 55¢; 3 for $1.45; 10 for 
$4.25. 
CYCLAMEN REPANDUM—A  daintily pretty winter-hardy 
Cyclamen for outdoor bloom in April. Rich crimson. Tubers each 
55¢; 3 for $1.45; 10 for $4.25. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA—5 inches. The flowers, in the most vivid 
of blues, show in vast numbers in very early spring. Wonderful 
for mass effects. 10 for 50¢; 25 for $1.10; 100 for $4.00. 
IXIA MIXED—Of all South African bulbs, none yields greater 
variety, nor brighter, colorings than does Ixia. The range is 
amazing. Ixia forces easily for winter flowers in way of Sparaxis, 
but it is hardy enough, too, so that it will winter in the open 
ground if well protected with straw or litter, to at least Boston. 
10 for 65¢; 25 for $1.40; 100 for $5.00. 
PUSCHKINIA LIBANOTICA—Fach April renews its abundance 
of pretty little white flowers, lavender striped. 25 for 65c; 50 
for $1.20. 
CAMASSIA QUAMASH—The original 
Blue Camas Lily. 20 inches Starry flowers 
of a rich and vivid blue that is close to 
ultramarine. A massed planting is a thing 
of beauty and a long-time joy. It grows 
to 20 or more inches. Illustrated opposite. 
7 for 50¢; 16 for $1.00; 50 for $2.65; 100 
for $5.00. 
CAMASSIA CUSICKI—60 inches. Great 
spikes in Eremurus reminder, filled with 
large, starry flowers in shades of pale 
lavender, mauve and soft blue. 3 for 50¢; 
7 for $1.00; 25 for $3.00. 
SNOWDROPS—Galanthus. The pretty 
little white blossoms come in March, or 
even, here in southern New Jersey, in 
February. The Snowdrop  naturalizes 
readily in grass, or it is attractive in the 
rock garden. 10 for 55¢; 25 for $1.20; 100 for $4.50. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILAE—Glory of the Snow. 6 inches. A plant- 
ing of it will be like a stretch of blue sky, the flowers coming in 
early spring, often while snow is still about. 10 for 35¢; 25 for 
85¢; 100 for $3.25.
