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. All are supplied in blooming size stock. 
SNOWFLAKE—Leucojum aestivum. Established clumps can be 
strikingly decorative. Sheafs of nodding blossoms in purest white, 
each petal contrastingly tipped with olive. 20 inches. Long-lived, 
showier each year. 3 for 35¢; 10 for $1.00; 25 for $2.20; 100 for 
$7.00. 
CYCLAMEN NEAPOLITANUM—An altogether lovely, fully 
hardy Cyclamen for outdoor plant- 
ing in rock garden or partly 
shaded corner. Beginning in early 
autumn, the plants fill with a pro- 
fusion of pink to carmine blossom- 
ing. When the rush of flowering is 
beginning to pass, it is followed by 
masses of handsome, wavy-edged, 
white-marbled foliage. Illustrated 
opposite. Dormant tubers. Each 
65¢ 3 for $1.70; 10 for $5.00. 
IXIA MIXED—Of all South Afri- 
can bulbs, none yields greater va- 
riety, 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 litter, to at 
least Boston. 5 for 40¢; 10 for 70¢; 25 for $1.55; 100 for $5.50. 
AQUILEGIA JONESI—A treasure from high mountains. [t is a 
gem for the rock garden with ground-hugging, silvery, lace-like 
foliage, the comparatively large, upfacing flower of clear blue- 
lavender just above. Height of the whole is seldom over 2 or 3 
inches, and even under the fattest of growing conditions, 5 inches 
seems about its upper limit. Give perfect drainage. It has 
a resting period, and we supply semi-dormant roots. 
, Each 65¢; 3 for $1.75; 10 for $6.00. 
HERMODACTYLUS TUBEROSA—Fingers of Hermes. 
12 inches. Erect, oddly formed, almost campanulate 
flowers of deep, olive green, but the reflexed ‘‘falls’’ are 
velvety black. A weirdly alluring little beauty. Illustrated 
opposite. Each 35¢; 3 for 90¢; 10 for $2.50. 
ALPINE PLATYCODON—4 inches. New Japanese 
dwarf race for the rock garden. Deep blue. Each 
75¢@; 3 for $2.00: 
SHOOTING-STAR—Dodecatheon Meadia, illustrated 
opposite. Fragrant blossoms in something of Cycla- 
men form, the petals thrust back as though by rush 
of air in some meteoric passage. Spring delight in 
pale pink to rose. Sun or shade. 20 inches. Dormant 
roots of spidery appearance, but they will grow all 
right if you plant them. Each 50¢; 3 for $1.40; 10 for 
$4.00; 25 for $9.00. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILIAE—Glory of the 
Snow. 6 inches. A planting of it will be like a 
spread of blue sky, all in earliest spring, often 
while snow is still about. 10 for 30¢ ; 25 for 65¢; 
100 for $2.25. 
CHIONODOXA GIGANTEA ALBA—Here the 
flowers are all of clearest, snowiest white. A 
robust grower. 8 inches. 10 for 40¢; 25 for 90¢ 
100 for $3.40. 
SMILACINA RACEMOSA—Creamy blossoms 
in airy sprays, then ruby berries. Shade-lover. 
Each 60¢; 3 for $1.50. 
CALOCHORTUS OR MARIPOSA TULIP—The 
brilliantly colored, upfacing blossoms range 
from 2 to 4-inch diameters. Sometimes the flow- 
ers 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.
