Leucocrinum montanum, which
thrives well in the East in full sun,
sand and gravel, and bears in April
and May a bountiful succession of
stemless little waxy white blossoms
with golden stamens. Other hardy
drought lovers from the West are
the Sego lily, Caochortus nuttalli;
Mariposa tulip, c. apiculatus; sage
brush MaripoSa, c. macrooarpus.
There are any number of native
bulbs from the West Coast which
are reliably hardy if the planting
directions sent with the bulbs are
carefully followed. Brodiaes, for in

been hardy for years on the south

Eastern spiderwort is a semi dwarf

Of the Black Hills and adjoining
regions and comes in shades of blue,

As q partial substitute for crocus,
a South American bulb from Argen-

It requires full sun and exception

and white blossoms are borne over

the appearance of viciets at a dis
tance. Furthermore, they have the
added advantage Of being most in

Also, they are most useful in the
sunny rock garden. Another SUBJ
stitute for early bloom is that beau
tiful little native of Asia Minor
Caucasus and Iran, Iris reticulata
which even blooms through the
snow in February and March. The
usual form bears short, brilliant
deep violet-purple flowers with

fragrance. Although it will with.
