MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND ROOTS 



Our offerings this season of miscellaneous bulbs and roots have been enlarged by the addition of some of the old favorites, such 

 as Chionodoxas, Snowdrops, Scillas, etc. Their importation for sale will not be permitted after January, 1926, and it is suggested to 

 secure high-grade imported stock this season at reasonable prices. 



The majority of the Bulbs ojfered in this Catalogue are usually ready for delivery before the end of September. A few sorts do not mature 

 until October or November. Unless otherwise instructed, we will send the early bulbs as soon as ready, and the late maturing sorts when in 

 good condition io skip.

 the window garden than these giant flowering Amaryllis that are 

 so easily managed. The strain we offer is the finest that has ever 

 been produced in this country, strong bulbs throwing vigorous 

 stems with from four to six gigantic blooms of the most perfect 

 form, ranging in color from pure white grounds with varied mark- 

 ings of rose, red and crimson to the richest self colors as scarlet, 

 crimson, bright red, cherry, and almost maroon. Cultural leaflet

Giant French or Poppy- 

 flowered Anemones 



Charming spring flowers, and becoming better known and more 

 popular as a garden flower. They are suitable for pot or border 

 culture, and when planted in masses are most effective. They 

 succeed best in a light rich, well-drained loam. Plant in November, 

 and cover with leaves, straw or long manure on the approach of 

 winter. For pot culture, fill with any rich, porous compost, with 

 good drainage, planting 4 roots in a 5-inch pot; place in a cold 

 frame, or any moderately cool situation, giving very little water 

 until the plants appear; then remove to greenhouse or sitting- 

 room window. Mixed, containing a wonderful range of colors, in- 

 cluding blue, rose, white, scarlet, etc. 75 cts. 



per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



Dreer's American Hybrid Amaryllis 



St. Brigid Anemones 



A celebrated Irish strain of semi-double flow- 

 ering Poppy Anemones, in a multitude of charm- 

 ing colors, ranging from pure white to deepest 

 maroon, including all intermediate shades, such 

 as rose, red, pink, blue, etc., etc. They require 

 the same treatment as the Poppy Anemones 

 offered above. Mixed colors, $1.00 per doz.; 

 $6.50 per 100. 



Calla Lilies 



(Arum Lilies or Lily of the Nile) 



White Calla (Ridtardia Aethiopica). The 

 White, Calla or Lily of the Nile, is a well- 

 known plant of easy culture, and in winter is 

 one of our best window plants. To aid pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant from the 

 middle of June until the last of August; 

 repot as soon as received in good, rich soil, 

 or bulb fibre, using 6- to 8-inch pot; give 

 water, light and heat in abundance, and the 

 result will be most satisfactory.

St. Brigid Anemone 



White Call.\ I h . 



Godfrey Everblooming White Calla. This is a great improvement over the ordinary 

 White Calla, especially for the amateur, being of even freer growth and much more 

 floriferous over a longer season, the flowers, while a trifle smaller than the old-fashioned 

 Calla, are of purer white and delicately scented. Strong flowering roots, 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Golden Yellow Calla {Richardia ElUottiana). This is the best of the yellow Callas, its 

 flowers being as large as the popular white variety, but of a rich, lustrous golden yellow 

 of velvety texture; the foliage is dark green with translucent creamy- white spots, which 

 adds much to its beauty. Strong bulbs, ready end of October, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.
