CAMASSIA (Hardy) 
There are few bulbous plants that meet climatic or soil conditions bet- 
ter or give a more attractive bloom. They are hardy without protection, 
and thrive either under ordinary garden conditions or when naturalized in 
open, moist woods or in not too dense a grassy growth. The flower stems 
are 2 to 4 feet high with as many as a hundred star-shaped flowers measur- 
ing 114 inches across and flowering in long succession. 
Esculenta Six 50c, Doz. 85c, 25 $1.60, 100 $5.75 
Very showy in mass planting. Forms flower spikes 2 feet high, bearing 
a cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine, rich purple. Fine for wet 
or swampy places where other bulbs dc not grow. 
Leichtlini, Blue Six 65c, Doz. $1.10, 25 $1.90, 100 $7.50 
Same as preceding but stronger, flowers are larger and come in various 
hues of blue and creamy white. Again does well where other bulbs fail. 
ERANTHIS - Winter Aconite 
Plant Bulbs Immediately Upon Receipt 
These produce about two weeks before Crocus are in bloom, little yellow 
flowers like Buttercups about 3 inches above the ground, with settings 
of fine green, frilled collars which never seem to mind the worst of weather 
conditions. Will thrive under trees where few other plants can hold their 
own. They seed themselves freely and colonies from self-sown seed are 
soon formed. Plant at once upon receipt, firmly, 2 inches deep, in shade 
or full sun, about 18 bulbs to a square foot. . 
Cilicica Six 70c, Doz. $1.25, 25 $2.30, 100 $8.25 
Deep yellow flower, foliage bronzy and finely cut; lovely rock garden 
variety. 
Hyemalis Six 70c, Doz. $1.15, 25 $2.10, 100 $7.75 
The common Winter Aconite, clear yellow, very early. Good for the 
rock garden, under Sedums or under trees. Plant bulbs at once when 
received. 
ERYTHRONIUM . Trout Lilies 
These are charming woodland plants, producing in early April, small 
Lily-like flowers of which the colors run in delicate tints of white, pink, 
cream, bright yellow and rose. They thrive in wooded places under shrubs 
and in shaded corners or crevices of the rockery. 
Tuolumnensis Six $1.25, Doz. $2.00, 25 $3.50, 100 $12.50 
Glacier Lily, Mountain Lily, or Golden Easter Lily. One of the most beau- 
tiful and rarest of Dog-Tooth Violets, do best in shady woodland places, 
well drained soil. Not unusual to see them with 10 to 12 golden 
flowers, the flowers often being 3 inches across. Plant in colonies. 
Mixed Colors Six $1.25, Doz. $2.00, 25 $3.50, 100 $12.50 
This mixture is made up of many varieties. Splendid for naturalizing and 
for rock garden in light shade. It is best to plant them in groups of 
six and more. Once planted they will remain and multiply very rapidly. 
Are perfectly hardy and simple to grow. 
FREESIAS (Large Flowered) 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted early, say Auugst and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing 
all the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room. 
Golden Giant Six 75c, Doz. $1.35, 25 $2.50, 100 $9.00 
A yellow Freesia of unusually sturdy growth; tall, straight stems. Flowers

Mixed Colors Six 75c, Doz. $1.35, 25 $2.50, 100 $9.00 
re! mixture made up out of many varieties. All the shades of the 
rainbow. 
FRITILLARIA - Imperialis 
(Crown Imperial) 
The Crown Imperials with their stately gracefully drooping flowers should 
not be missed in any garden. They want a good scil, much sun, and can be 
left undisturbed for years. Must be planted as early as possible and have 
to be carefully protected against sharp winds, as the tall plants grow 4 
feet or more high. They are real ‘’grandmother’s favorites’’ and should be 
in every hardy border or old-fashioned flower garden. 
Maxima, Red Each $1.50, Three $4.00, Doz. $15.00 
igang strong growing variety with large orange-red flowers. Height 
inches. 
FRITILLARIA - Guinea Hen Flower 
Fritillarias are lovely bulbous plants for the rock garden or indoor culture. 
The stems are leafy and most graceful, with many pendent, bell-like 
flowers. One species found in Southern California is called ‘’Mission 
Bells) while in other places local species are called Brown or Chocolate 
ilies. 
Meleagris Six 50c, Doz. 85c, 25 $1.60, 100 $5.75 
These produce in early April dwarf, pendent, reddish brown and purple, 
bell-shaped flowers in curiously checkered shades, on stems 12 inches 
high. They are very effective in colonies, requiring a somewhat dry 
situation. Invaluable for the rockery, for naturalizing and very lovely 
grown in pans indoors; use same culture as for Freesia. 
HARDY GLADIOLUS BYZANTINUS 
This hardy European Gladiolus has a rigid stem about 24 to 30 inches 
tall, covered with nice plum-purple flowers. Blooms late May to early June.

multiply rapidly and produce larger clusters of flowers each season. It likes 
a warm, sunny, well-drained location.

Gloriosa Superba 
GLORIOSA - Climbing Lily 
Superba Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50 
A splendid low climber, easy to grow in the garden, it does well in shel- 
tered spots out-of-doors. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, producing a dozen or 
more gorgeous Lily-like flowers which open a bright yellow and red, 
but change to a deep scarlet. In bloom through the summer and au- 
tumn months. Most unusual and rare garden bulbs. Store tubers in win- 
ter like Gladioli; may be used season after season. It may also be grown 
in a 4- or 5-inch pot in a cool greenhouse where it makes a beautiful 
show. 
GALANTHUS - Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong to the most beloved early flowering spring bulbs. They 
require very little attention, and can remain undisturbed for years and 
years. They like rather moist and cool soil. To get a lovely effect they 
must be planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and shrubs, 
in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the lawn should not be 
mown before fhe leaves are withered or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Nivalis Six 60c, Doz. $1.05, 25 $1.85, 100 $7.00 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white nodding blooms are 
out before the frost is out of the ground; one of the lovely bulbs 
that tell us spring is almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of 
shrubs or under trees is worth while. Once planted they remain for a 
lifetime. 
Six $1.00, Doz. $1.55, 25 $2.85, 100 $10.25 
Nivalis flore-pleno 
Double form of the common Snowdrop, requiring same care. 
Oren: Godail SLeiltes 
Bungei Each $1.00, Three $2.90, Doz. $11.00 
This is the parent from which the Shelford Hybrids were produced. 
Bungei is not as big a plant as, for instance, the Robustus but it makes 
a fine spike of golden yellow flowers about 3 to 4 feet tall. It is the 
easiest and hardiest of the varieties offered, blooming freely. Its root 
system is smaller and must not be compared with that of Robustus for 
instance. 
Elwesianus Each $3.00, Three $8.00, Doz. $30.00 
Blush-white flowers similar in form and height to Robustus. A mag- 
nificent species growing easily 7 feet tall. This as well as all other 
Eremurus, is produced from seed which results in slight variation of 
tints and shadings. 
Robustus Giant roots, Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Flowering roots, Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
Light rosy pink flowers grow on stems 6 to 8 feet tall. One-third to 
one-half of the stem is covered with sparkling, small cup-like flowers. 
This is one of the giants of the family, easily grown and lasts from 
year to year. Giant roots produce one or more spikes. 
Himalaicus Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
A veritable giant. It is a simple matter to grow flower stalks 7 to 9 feet 
tall on this variety. The rigid spikes are covered with waxy white, cup- 
like flowers with golden anthers and remain in bloom four weeks or 
more. We have withheld Himalaicus from sale for several years be- 
cause we wanted to sell this plant in quantity and at a popular price. 
With reasonable care they will flower for you ten years or more without 
need of transplanting. 
Him-Rob Each $3.00, Three $8.00, Doz. $30.00 
This tremendous flower is the result of a cross between Himalaicus and 
Robustus. Its 7- to 9-foot flower spikes are studded with shiny cup-like 
flowers which vary from pale to deep pink, the flowers lasting four 
weeks and longer. As in the case of Himalaicus we did not offer this 
variety for sale until a large stock was first available. Here really is 
something outstanding for your garden at a price never before Possible.
