star shaped flowers to superb goblets, expanding to huge large saucers in full — 
sun. Some varieties are so rewarding that they produce 3 to 4 flowers on a 
branching stem. Their color varies from creamy white, pale yellow to deep 
chrome, orange, vermillion and dazzling scarlet red, pale pink to rosy crim- 
son and purplish violet. The flowering season extends from late March to 
early June. They like full sun, a well drained sandy soil and all the baking 
sun possible during the summer to ripen the bulbs. 
We recommend them very highly for the decoration of the rock garden. 
Due to their pleasing form and remarkable color, they add great interest to 
the flower border and foundation plantings. For best effect, always plant in 
drifts of five to ten and more. Depth of planting for the small bulb species, 
4” to 5” and 3” to 4” apart. Larger bulbs prefer a depth of 6” to 8” and 4” 
to 6” apart. These depths are for good sandy garden loam; in heavier soil, 
they should be 1” to 2” less in depth. 
We have one of the most complete collections of these species. It has 
been greatly increased and we are offering many rare and new kinds to 
charm your garden.
