THE BIZARRE FRITILLARYS 
They have something of the sombre beauty and 
richness of the Monkshoods, though with no 
resemblance of form or habit, for the Fritillarias 
are fringe-relatives of the Lilies. 
CROWN IMPERIAL is the deserved, old-time 
name for FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS, with 
its yard-high stems, topped with whorls of big 
bells in searlet-toned orange, the crown of deco- 
rative green foliage still above. It is a showy 
traffic-stopper. Full hardiness. Big bulbs, each 
$1.50; 3 for $4.25. Illustrated opposite. 
FRITILLARIA RECURVA—16”. Gay lily-like 
bells, yellow within, bright red without. 3 for 
55¢c; 10 for $1.50. 
FRITILLARIA PUDICA — 6”. De- 
light in bells of pure gold. Full sun. 
It blooms long and increases freely. 
3 for 35c; 10 for $1.00. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS—15”. 
Often the blossoms are checkered 
purple over silver, or they may show 
hints of rosiness, or be all white. 
They adorn spring, and as to flower- 
form, judge that by illustration oppo- 
site. 10 for 55c; 25 for $1.25; 100 
for $4.50. 
try LEWISIA REDIVIVA. It’s early blooming, 
easy, fully winter-hardy, and gives flowers like 
little, feathery water-lilies in the most exquisite 
of pinks. It grows to only four inches, but the 
flowers are large, indeed in spring the plants 
seem mostly blossom. Illustrated opposite. Root- 
tubers, 8 for $1.00; 50 for $5.00.
