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. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA—(S. hispanica). The pretty Spanish 
Bluebell. Sprays of inch-wide bells that may be blue, rose or 
white. Mixed colors. Fully hardy. Wonderful for naturalizing. 
10 for 40c; 25 for 85c; 100 for $3.00; 300 for $7.75. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA—Flowers of most vivid blue in vast numbers, 
early in spring. Unexcelled for mass effects. Does well even under 
trees, as do also the other Scillas, along with Muscari, Snowdrop, 
Chionodoxa, Puschkinia and the Crocuses. 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.15; 
100 for $4.25; 300 for $11.00. 
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 until late spring 
Tubers, each 70c; 3 for $1.90; 10 
for $5.50. 
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 40c; 10 for 
70c; 25 for $1.55; 100 for $5.50. 
SNOWDROPS—The Single-flowered Galanthus. 
The many pretty little white blossoms come in 
early March (or even February). Can be natur- 
alized. 10 for 55c; 25 for $1.20; 100 for $4.50; 
300 for $10.50. DOUBLE-FLOWERS SNOW- 
DROP—It gives greater mass. Really good. 
10 for 80c; 25 for $1.80; 100 for $6.50. 
OSTROWSKIA MAGNIFICA—The spectacular 
Caucasian Bellflower, Illustrated opposite. State- 
ly stems, to 4 feet, carry great blossoms of lilac- 
suffused white. Full sun. Tubers, each $1.40;
