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 
A” 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. A 
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. $.60 per 10 $5.00 per 100 
F. Artemis — A magnificent variety with large bells of two shades of wine 
color, being checkered a greyish-purple producing a very showy 
effect. Use the same way as the preceding. $.60 per 10 $5.00 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 3” deep and 3” apart, always 
in drifts for best effect. 
G. Elwesii — By far the most beautiful and largest of the snowdrops. Flowers 
are globe shaped, pure snow white, produced on 5” stems. Leaves are 
greyish green, larger than any other variety. A native of Asia Minor, 
should be planted where it will receive more sun than other varieties. 
Once planted, it should not be disturbed. A must for the rock garden. 
Can also be used to good advantage in clumps in the flower border. 
We have on hand a good supply of this rarity. $.50 per 10 $4.00 per 100 
G. byzantinus — We were able to procure a small quantity of this extremely 
beautiful and rare Byzantine Snowdrop. The leaves are like G. pli- 
catus, flowers resemble G. Elwesii. Very early flowering, remains in 
good condition for a long time. Plant in a damp but well drained spot 
with partially sunny situation, sheltered and protected from north 
winds. When established, it has been known to bloom in this country 
in late December and early January if the weather conditions are 
favorable. Very limited stock of this rarety. $.75 each $2.00 for 3 
G. nivalis flore pleno — A quaint and desirable form; a miniature. Plant in 
groups in the rock garden, front of the flower border. It is also 
excellent to naturalize in the woodland. $.65 per 10 $5.00 per 100
