Fall Planting and Early Spring Flowering — for Permanent Effects 
FOR PLANTING in accord with the natural surroundings of your gardens, expressive of perfect harmony and good 
taste; along the woodland path, in wildflower sanctuaries, along rivulets, brooks or wherever naturalistic planting is 
wanted. For planting of banks or ground cover among daffodils, hyacinths or tulips, in the border in drifts or as edging. 
CAMASSIA ESCULENTA. Very showy in mass plant- 
ings. Forms flower spikes up to 2 feet high, bearing a 
cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine rich purple. 
Plant 4 inches deep. Extra-heavy bulbs, $1.75 for 10; 
$15.00 per 100. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLIAE. (Glory of the Snow). An 
extensive planting forms one of the most sumptuous dis- 
plays of floral beauty; a mass of blue and white, intense 
and brilliant. They bloom at the time of the crocuses, 
producing dwarf flower spikes, bearing from 8 to 10 
little blossoms of a sky blue with a pure-white heart, 
creating a lovely effect. They should be planted in fall 3 
inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a square foot in a sunny 
location or in half shade and in places where they can 
remain undisturbed for a number of years. The flowers 
will cross with one another and will seed themselves, 
forming natural colonies. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
See illustration, Color Guide. 
CHIONODOXA LUCILLIAE ALBA. A white form of the 
above, very effective when interspersed with the blue. 
$0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
DICENTRA SPECTABILIS. (Bleeding Heart). The “Lyre 
Flower” or “Locks and Keys.” A charming hardy peren- 
nial plant of most interesting structure. The leaves are 
a fine shade of green and have much decorative value 
due to their unusual pattern. Long racemes of graceful, 
heart-shaped pink flowers, inner petals which protrude 
are white. Excellent border plants as well as a wild gar- 
den addition where they lend beauty and charm. Extra 
heavy clumps, $1.25 each; $12.00 for 10. 
DODECATHEON MEADIA. (Shooting Star). 
pretty perennial, bearing rose-colored, often white flow- 
ers in May and June; sometimes called “American 
Cyclamen.” Thrives in rich, moist woods as well as in 
the open border. Extra strong roots, $3.25 for 10; $30.00 
per 100. 
Very 
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS. (Winter Aconite). These pro- 
duce, at about the same time that the crocuses are in 
bloom, little yellow flowers like buttercups about 3 
inches above the ground, with setting of fine green, 
frilled-like collars which never seem to mind the worst 
of weather conditions. They will thrive under trees where 
few other plants can hold their own. They seed them- 
selves freely and colonies from self-sown seed are soon 
formed. Plant firmly 2 inches deep, in shade or half 
shade about 18 bulbs to a square foot. Mulch in autumn 
with leaf soil. $1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100.

ERYTHRONIUM AMERICANUM. (Dog’s Tooth Vio- 
let). These are charming woodland plants, producing in 
early April, small, lily-like flowers whose colors run in 
delicate tints of white, pink, cream, bright yellow and 
rose. They thrive in shaded corners or crevices of rock- 
work. Their beauty is enhanced by their richly mottled 
leaves. They like a light, rather damp, but well drained 
soil. Plant the corms about 5 inches deep. $2.25 for 10; 
$20.00 per 100. 
FRITILLARIA MELEAGRIS (Guinea Hen Flower or 
Checkered Lily.) These produce in early April dwarf, 
pendent, bell-shaped flowers in various shades of color, 
curiously checkered, striped and splashed. They are very 
effective in colonies, requiring a somewhat dry situation. 
Invaluable for mass planting and for naturalizing. $1.00 
for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
GALANTHUS (Snowdrops). These are particularly ef- 
fective under hedges, under cedar trees and in thin wood- 
land, along the walk or in the rock garden. They are the 
first to open in spring and are very lovely. They dislike 
being moved and should be left alone to naturalize them- 
selves. Plant two inches deep; mulch in winter with leaf 
soil, leaves or well-decayed manure. The single-flowering 
snowdrops, if they are left alone, soon take to producing 
double flowers. The differences and shadings in the 
varieties of snowdrops are so comparatively slight that 
it does not seem worthwhile to offer them in variety. 
$1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
LEUCOJUM VERNUM (Spring Snowflake). This is one 
of the earliest and most attractive spring flowers. Grow- 
ing from 6 to 8 inches high they bear dainty, nodding 
flowers which are white tipped with green. They should 
be planted in early fall in a good, light, well drained 
soil in which they may be buried 2 inches deep, in 
masses or bold clumps, to be effective 4 inches apart, 
and then be left alone to bloom year after year. $1.50 
for 10; $12.50 per 100. 
MERTENSIA VIRGINICA (Blue Bells). This is indis- 
pensable in the garden for color effect; a lovely soft pink 
and porcelain-blue combination. The plant grows from 
1 to 2 feet high bearing a panicle of flowers about one 
inch long in short pendent clusters. It is splendid for the 
open border or for naturalizing along the woodland 
path, in the dell, along the brook or pond; it flowers 
from the time the daffodils are in bloom, continuing 
while the May-flowering Tulips are at their best. We urge 
all garden lovers to use this delightful plant in quantity 
as it is permanent and so helpful to create beautiful 
pictures. Extra heavy clumps that will flower abundantly 
next spring if planted early this fall, $3.25 for 10; 
$30.00 per 100. See illustration, Color Guide.
