SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS, ROSES AND HOUSE PLANTS 



11 



Mexican Lily 



(Sprekelia Formosissima) 



One of the most beautiful of flowers for 

 home decoration, and grows to perfection 

 in a bowl filled with sand or pebbles and 

 water. The flowers are gorgeous — magnifi- 

 cent, velvety, deep, scarlet. Large bulbs, 

 15 cts. each, 4 for 50 cts, 9 for $1.00. These 

 prices include postage, which we pay. 



Dingee Winter -Blooming 

 Freesias 



One of the most popular winter-blooming 

 bulbs, growing well in ordinary soil. One 

 of the easiest of winter-blooming bulbs for 

 window culture. The color is pure white, 

 lower petals touched with yellow. 



Freesias should be planted early for the 

 best results — the earlier the better. The 

 vitality of the bulbs is at its highest early 

 in the season. We have these bulbs grown 

 in tremendous quantities by our special 

 growers, and are able to offer larger and 

 better quality bulbs than those generally 

 sold.

Grand New Freesia, Purity 



This variety is a type of pure white Free- 

 sia that surpasses in size, floriferousness 

 and purity of color. We offer one size only 

 — First-Size Bulbs, at 8 cts. each, 5 for 3 5 

 cts., 75 cts. per doz., postpaid. 



Scarlet Freesia 

 (Anomatheca cruenta) 



Similar in bulb, foliage and habit to the 

 Freesia, but the flowers are brightest scar- 

 let; the lower petals deeply marked. As it 

 grows exactly like a Freesia, it can be 

 planted with them. Ours is the true stock, 

 which is very hard to obtain. 5 cts. each, 

 3 for 10 cts., 25 cts. per doz. 



Crinum Ornatum 



This royal member of the Amaryllis fam- 

 ily produces numerous spikes of large, fra- 

 grant, lily-like flowers, white, with deep 

 pink stripe in the center of each petal. 



Grows from 1% to 5 feet high, bearing at 

 frequent intervals a crown of twelve to 

 twenty large blooms. Plant in fairly rich, 

 loamy soil in a pot or box, that it may be 

 moved indoors at any time. Give plenty 

 of sunshine, and water frequently. Prices, 

 first size, about 9 to 11 inches circumfer- 

 ence, 30 cts. each, 4 for $1.00; second size, 

 about 11 to 13 inches circumference, 40 cts.

 hardy and will found a colony. For winter 

 blooming, they are of the easiest culture 

 and are sure to bloom freely in mid-winter.

 should be potted or planted soon after be- 

 ing received, as they suffer if allowed to re- 

 main dry. 5 cts. each, 6 for 25 cts.. 40 cts. 

 per doz., postpaid.

 striking, white, tinged with green. The

Seattle, wash. 



Received the rose bush. Queen Beatrice. 

 Many thanks. It came in good condition. 

 Those you sent me previous to this are all 

 doing fine, and must say you people are all 

 right. You have certainly treated me fine. 

 and your treatment corroborates all I have 

 said to the public in your behalf. My only 

 hope now is that I will be successful with my 

 bushes. R. N. M — .
