GLADIOLUS 
CALLA LILIES. I grow 
a superfine quality 
of Callas at 15 cts. 
each, $1.50 per doz. 
Hastata. The yellow, 
or Spotted Calla. Un- 
like the common 
Calla this grows flow- 
ers in the summer, 
and can be grown in 
cold climates if lifted 
in the fall when ripe. 
The leaves are spot- 
ted with white and 
the handsome flowers 
are light creamy yel- 
low. 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz. 
CHIONODOXA Lucil- 
iae. Glory of the 
Snow. A pretty, 
early, bulbous plant 
with light blue flow- 
ers. 30 cts. per doz. 
for large bulbs. 
To have a fine display 
of flowers in the garden in 
early spring, provide for 
it in the fall. 
GLADIOLUS, CLASS II 
These are the large garden Gladioli and in Cali- 
fornia can either be left in the ground, planted 
in the fall, or in the spring. I prefer to do both, 
planting some in the fall, others at intervals 
in the spring until late June, and thus having fine 
flowers until fall. 
My bulbs are a superfine mixture of Childsii 
and Groff's Silver Trophy Collection and will 
give satisfaction. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz., 
$3 per 100. Named sorts on application. 
VARIOUS BULBS FOR 
FALL PLANTING 
ALSTROEMERIA aurantiaca. A bulbous plant 
1 nearly related to gladiolus with very showy 
orange and yellow flowers borne well above 
the leaves on stout stems and much like a 
lily. Very easily grown in California and can 
be left in well-drained ground from year to 
r year. Sun preferred. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 
CROCUS. Most pleasing very early flowers with 
grass-like leaves. They do fairly in shade in 
California but I have not seen them success- 
fully grown in grass. In any color separately 
such as white, dark blue, light blue, pink, 
etc., at 15 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $6 
per 1,000. 
Mixed. 12 cts. per doz., 60 cts. per 100 $4.50 per 
1,000.
