California 

 fioneysuchle* 



Our illustration is the 

 best description of this re- 

 markable flower. This 

 variety was found in the 

 mountains of California, 

 hence its popular name. 

 It is entirely suitable for 

 growing in pots in the 

 house in manner shown, 

 and requires no special 

 culture. The flowers are 

 a beautiful rose-color, 

 and are borne in dense 

 numbers, a single bulb 

 producing 15 to 30 um- 

 bels; the twining scape 

 is often over 10 feet long, 

 and does best when 

 twined in and about as 

 shown in picture. 15 cts. 

 each; 2 for 25 cts.; ex- 

 tra-large bulbs, 20 cts. 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts. 



HUumi

 in pots and boxes in the 

 house or planted in the 

 flower beds for early 

 Spring flowers. It is, 

 however, specially valu- 

 able for Winter bloom- 

 ing, being sure to flower 

 splendidly in any window. The large clusters of delicate 

 white flowers have a distinct beauty of their own ; they re- 

 main perfect for weeks. Plant three to five bulbs in a five- 

 inch pot or box, and you will have a lovely display. 3 for

Please Notice. 



— We do not 

 offer other vari- 

 eties of Japan- 

 ese bulbs for 

 Fall delivery 



Liliam Auratum. 



for the reason that they do not reach this country until De- 

 cember and January. Japanese grown bulbs are vastly supe- 

 rior to those grown in this country, hence we handle only 

 imported bulbs. Our shipment of Auratums should arrive 

 during October. They will be sent out as soon as received. 

 Our New Guide, Spring edition, offers a complete list of 

 Japanese bulbs. Copy free upon request.

NOTICE. — We notice these Gladioli advertised at 25 cts. per doz. 

 IVe caution our customers against such stock and methods. To be

 import duty. We pride ourselves upon furnishing stock true to 

 name at fair prices.

 in appearance they are like miniature Gladiolus. The colors
