ALLIUM
These summer-flowering
bulbs are mostly taller than our usual subjects. They are quite easy to grow
in a light well-drained soil in full sun and most of the smaller ones
increase rapidly. They look good in the garden and make excellent floral
decorations.

ANEMONE
Anemones make excellent garden plants. Blanda does very well in sun or light
shade and rambles all over the place. Nemorosa or true woodland Anemones
prefer a damp situation in light shade. The Fulgens come from the
Mediterranean and like full sun and well-drained soil.

These unusual plants always excite comment. They should be planted 6" deep
in damp peaty soil in a semi-shady position.

CAMASSIA
Although hardly ‘small’ bulbs, the ones listed below have caused such
comment in our garden that we felt they should be listed. They are happy in
any good garden soil.

CHIONODOXA
(glory of the snow_
Called Glory of the Snow because they flower when the snow melts in the
mountains of Turkey. They grow well in a sunny position with good drainage.
Unfortunately the botanists have been at it again; the names are now very
confusing. The old name is in brackets.

CROCUS
(spring flowering)
We have a large number of Crocus varieties on our list and this is necessary
due to the wide variations of colour. They should all be planted 3" deep in
full sun for the best effect. If mice are a problem, place 1/4" wire netting
half an inch below the surface of the soil. Crocus make excellent indoor pot
plants, but only if they are grown outside and brought in when the flower
bud shows colour.
CHRYSANTHUS CROCUS
These charming
small-flowering varieties are very distinct in that they all have at least
two colours and spread freely.

The species below are only suitable for very sheltered gardens but make
striking conservatory plants and always cause much interest at Chelsea.
DICHELOSTEMMA IDA MAIA (Californian Firecracker)
DICHELOSTEMMA PINK DIAMOND
ERANTHIS (Winter Aconite)
These late winter-flowering plants are always extremely popular. They are
traditionally sold in the autumn as dry bulbs but, since these can be
difficult to start into growth, we also offer them as growing plants in the
spring — see Spring List.
ERANTHIS CILICICA
ERANTHIS HYEMALIS
ERYTHRONIUM
A very lovely and graceful plant which grows well in a damp position in
semi-shade. The bulbs should not dry out before planting. We lift the bulbs
daily for despatch.

FRITILLARIA
A fascinating group with bell-like flowers which like good drainage.
However, the meleagris forms need a damp position or semi-shade. Although
not dwarf bulbs we include two forms of F. imperialis which like sunny
places in a rich soil and are best planted 6" deep on their sides.

GLADIOLUS
These are not to be confused with the large-flowered Gladiolus. They flower
much earlier, are smaller, more elegant and do not require staking. They are
hardy in the south of England and like to be planted in full sun in a good
garden soil. There are two planting times — autumn and spring. The varieties
listed below should be planted as soon as they are received in Oct./Nov. If
you are doubtful about your climate, pot them up and transfer them into the
open ground at the end of March.

BYZANTINUS
GLADIOLUS COLVILLEI ALBUS THE BRIDE

1.CALIFORNIAN
(Pacific Coast) HYBRIDS
These spectacular ‘orchid’ Iris always excite comment at Chelsea. They are
easily grown in soil with a high humus content — ideal mixed with shrubs in
light shade. More lime tolerant than at first thought. Do not allow the
plants to dry out during their first year, until they are established.

This genus behaves like Snowdrops in resenting a long drying-off in summer.
However, the luxuriant foliage of the one listed below makes posting them in
the spring impracticable so we now lift them in September for immediate
despatch. They should be planted 6" apart. Other varieties will be found in
our Spring List.

TULIPS
There is no doubt that the large
flowered
tulips will give a fabulous display the first year —
the problem is to keep them going. If they are planted at least 6" deep in
sun in a good, well-drained soil this can be achieved, especially with heavy
dressings of lime. If this is not possible, the bulbs should be lifted and
dried off in a warm shed immediately the leaves have died down. Whatever you
do, do not plant the bulbs until October at the earliest.
The smaller, graceful species
tulips are often very long lived and should not be lifted at all.
Plant 6" deep in full sun,
