MUSCARI HEAVENLY BLUE (Grape Hyacinths). 
While there are several kinds of muscari, we consider 
this variety the best for mass planting. The flowers open 
just about the time that the chionodoxas and crocuses 
are going off. They do very well in the wild garden and 
also in the grass if it is not too rank. Nice under trees 
and along the borders where they may be left undis- 
turbed. They will seed themselves and make pretty effects 
when established. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
MUSCARI BOTRYOIDES ALBUS. The white form which 
is very pretty planted with the blue variety of this type. 
$1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
ORNITHOGALUM UMBELLATUM (Star of Bethle- 
hem). The hardy type; flowers are white with black eye, 
carried in umbels of 3 or more flowers. Very fine for 
naturalizing in woodland. $1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
POLYGONATUM COMMUTATUM. (Great Solomon 
Seal) Gigantic species growing from 2 to 5 feet tall. 
Beautiful in the wild garden or along woodland paths. 
Flowers are greenish white followed by blue berries in 
the fall. Does well in shade and semi-shade. $5.25 for 10; 
$12.50 for 25. 
SCILLAS 
(Wood Hyacinths). These flourish in sun as well as 
in shade under trees. Not particular about the soil in 
which they grow; ideal for the wild garden but not to 
be despised in the border, especially if left alone for 
2 or 3 years without being disturbed in any way; splen- 
did in the rock garden. Produce drooping bell-like 
flowers. The following varieties are the best: 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA BLUE. Porcelain-blue, can- 
delabra-shaped bells, blooming with the May-flowering 
Tulips. Superior to scilla “Nutans,” which we discarded. 
Plant four inches deep. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA ‘‘EXCELSIOR.’’ ‘The finest 
variety of grouping, for planting in front of May-flower- 
ing Tulips, for permanent edging or for naturalizing in 
the woodland and among shrubbery. Tall flower spikes 
carry many fine large bells of a lovely deep blue; a most 
desirable variety. $0.85 for 10; $6.00 per 100. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA MAXIMA ALBA. The pure 
white form. $0.95 for 10; $7.00 per 100. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA ROSEA. This is a soft lilac 
rose form of this type. $0.95 for 10; $7.00 per 100. 
SQUILLS 
SCILLA SIBIRICA BLUE (The Siberian Squill). This 
is the earliest to bloom connecting the flowering of the 
crocuses with that of the narcissi. They are fine for 
naturalizing under trees or in open woodland, producing 
drooping, bell-like flowers on stems 3 to 4 inches in 
height. Succeeds very well in the rock garden. Color 
bright blue. Plant 3 inches deep in shade, half shade, or 
in full sun. Mulch in autumn with leaf soil, leaves or 
well-rotted manure. $0.95 for 10; $7.00 per 100. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA ALBA. The fine 
above. $1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
SCILLA SIBIRICA SPRING BEAUTY. A elorified scilla 
“Sibirica blue.” The color is a much clearer blue; the 
plant produces taller stems with 5 to 6 flowers from one 
bulb. An exceedingly fine introduction, $1.25 for 10; 
$10.00 per 100.

TRILLIUMS 
TRILLIUM ERECTUM. These Trilliums like a damp, 
shady situation and blossom early in the spring. Have

clumps. $3.50 for 10; $7.50 per 25.

planted in large colonies, producing pink flowers in 
early spring. $3.50 for 10; $7.50 per 25. 
Hremwe 
Foxtail Lilies, Giant Asphodels 
“Till now one dreamed not what could be done 
With a bit of earth and a ray of sun.” 
—LOWELL 
A WELL GROWN clump of Eremuri may justly be re- 
garded as an achievement to be proud of. The great flower 
stalk, often eight feet tall and more, rises from a crowded 
tuft of long, narrow leaves, and is crowned by a flower 
spike two to three feet long, composed of closely set bell 
shaped flowers, star-like in effect, in soft tones of rose, 
yellow, salmon and white. 
When the gigantic flowering is over, the plant disap- 
pears entirely, but reappears very early in the spring, 
when it is advisable to protect the young flower spike from 
late frosts. 
To fill the great bare space left when the plant goes to 
rest, Gypsophilas may be planted near at hand and kept 
staked until the Eremurus dies down, when they may be 
allowed to fall forward in its place. Some of our clients 
have most successfully planted them on the north side of 
evergreens,
