Plant them as early in the fall as available and cover 2 inches deep with fine soil. They bear their showy little star- shaped blooms during May and June. Others blooming somewhat earlier have lovely trumpet-shaped flowers.

All of them are easy to grow and those which flower during the early spring are particularly wel- come. Though they are small they are truly beautiful. Take for example Iris reticu- lata which greets us soon after the last of the snow has melted. Scillas and Grape Hyacinths continue the procession with Anemone, Calochortus, Camasiia, Erythro- nium, Leucojum, Ranunculus and the Dutch and EngLsh Iris a succes- sion that leads up to the summer-flowering plants. For blooming this fall plant Colchicum just as soon as Calochortus <^ Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip 40-055 Mixed. By far too few gar- deners are acquainted with these fine hardy bulbs native to the western section of our country. They produce showy and colorful blooms of artis- tic appeal and our mixture includes a particularly wide range of rich colors. They are quite unlike any other plant in our garden which ac- counts for the special interest they invariably receive wherever seen. Space 2 inches apart and cover with 2 inches of fine sandy soil. Place in a sheltered semi-shaded spot. 3 for 2Sc; 12 for 90c; 25 for $;
