FRITILLARIA i Imperialis fectly hardy and simple to grow. 
(Crown Imperial) 
The Crown Imperials with their stately gracefully 
drooping flowers should not be missed in any garden. 
They want a good soil, much sun, and can be left 
undisturbed for years. Must be planted as early as 
possible and have to be carefully protected against 
sharp winds, as the tall plants grow 4 feet or more 
high. They are real ‘grandmother's favorites’ and 
should be in every hardy border or old-fashioned 
flower garden.

Robust and strong growing variety with large, 
orange-red flowers. Height 34 inches. ; 
FRITILLARIA - Guinea Hen Flower 
Fritillarias are lovely bulbous plants for rock gar- 
den or indoor culture. The stems are leafy and most 
graceful, with many pendent, bell-like fowers. One 
species found in Southern California is called “Mission 
Bells,” while in other places local species are called j 
Brown or Chocolate Lilies. 1 
Meleagris Six 55c, Doz. 99c. 25 $1.65, 100 $6.25 
These produce in early April dwarf, pendent, red- 
dish brown and purple, bell-shaped flowers in 
curiously checkered shades, on stems 12. inches 
high. They are very effective in colonies, requir qa 
ing a somewhat dry situation. Invaluable for the 
rockery, for naturalizing and very lovely grown 
in pans indoors; use same culture as for Freesia. 
GALANTHUS .- Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong to the most beloved early flowering 
spring bulbs. They require very little attention, and can 
remain undisturbed for years and years. They like rather 
moist and cool soil. To get a lovely effect they must be 
planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and 
shrubs, in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the 
lawn should not be mown before the leaves are withered, 
or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Nivalis six 65c, Doz. $1.10, 25 $1.90, 100 $7.59 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white 
nodding blooms are out before the frost is out of the 
ground; one of the lovely bulbs that tell us spring is 
almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of 
shrubs or under trees is worth while. Once planted 
they remain for a lifetime.
