ALLIUM (Flowering Garlics) 
Do not let the name deceive you. Very few emit the famous scent unless 
their foliage is bruised. They like a sunny situation. We cannot recommend 
them too highly. They are good perennials for the adornment of the flower 
border. The small varieties are the finest for the rock garden. Plant four 
inches deep, three to four inches apart. 
A. albo-pilosum — Produces astonishingly large spherical umbels of 9” in 
length or over. They are composed of hundreds of 1” star-shaped 
flowers of a radiant metallic lilac color, exceptionally beautiful. The 
stems vary from 15” to 20”; quite large foliage resembling single 
rosettes of Yucca but very silvery and downy. Due to its excellent 
lasting qualities it is unsurpassable for use as a cut flower. Most 
desirable for accent in the rock garden, flower border and foundation 
planting. Greatly admired by all who view it in our nurseries, 
Note: On account of the huge size of its blossoms, it is important to 
plant further apart than most Alliums — at least 9” apart or more, 
and 4” deep. $1.50 per 10 $12.00 per 100 
A. azureum — A very charming species from the Altai Mountains, where so 
many beautiful bulbous plants are native. The flower umbels are 
produced on 24” stems. As its name denotes, they are of a charming 
sky blue color. Plant in groups of six or more in the flower border. 
It also makes a charming accent in the rock garden. 
$.40 per 10 $3.00 per 100 
A. karataviense — A very desirable Allium. Good sized ball-like blooms 
composed of many silvery lilac flowers on 8” stems. Very attractive 
foliage, glaucous and tinted reddish violet; May, June. Same use as 
the preceding. $.90 per 10 $7.50 per 100 
A. moly (luteum) — Known as the golden garlic. Umbels of brilliant golden 
yellow produced on 12” stems. Due to its short stature, there is no 
finer yellow bulbous flowering plant for the rock garden. It is 
stunning naturalized, and adds a dash of yellow to the flower garden. 
June blooming. $.30 per 10 $2.25 per 100 
A. ostrowskianum — A very charming species and one of our favorites among 
the flowering garlics. The umbels are a beautiful deep rose; six inches 
tall; May and June. This exquisite miniature variety is a must.

ANEMONES (Wind Flowers) 
co the Anemones are a race of delightful spring flowers. They prefer a 
semi-shaded situation which can be provided by shadows cast by small trees; 
in the rock garden by planting at the foot of large rocks facing north. For 
best effect plant in drifts 3” deep and 2” to 8” apart. They appreciate a good 
depth of sandy leaf mold, a pinch of bone meal and a little lime. Plant at 
once. The tops are not always recognizable. If not sure, plant on their sides. 
When in flower they grow to a height of 3” to 4”. 
A. apennina — Italy’s gift to horticulture. We offer a clear blue form of this 
lovely and vigorous Anemone. Free flowering — literally covers itself 
with a sheet of blue. $.40 per 10 $3.00 per 100 
A. apennina alba — An exquisite white form of the preceding with pale blue 
exteriors. Makes a charming companion for the above.
