PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 31 
DUTCH BULBS 
To my customers. The condition of shipping from Holland to America does not in 
the least invite investment in bulbs from Holland. Last year the larger portion of the 
bulbs arrived in San Francisco very late and many too late to be used at all. 
I will not try to import but can offer some things in bulbs grown by me here at 
The Terraces. I have had wide experience in growing Tulips, Hyacinths and Daffodils 
and could grow as good bulbs as are imported but in peace times it would hardly pay. 
The bulbs that I have are good. The daffodils as good as any and better than imported 
oi the same size. The Hyacinths flower better than imported. The Tulips are only fair 
but will give good flowers, but uneven because I have not enough to grade evenly. All 
will be ready to ship October I. 
LARGE TRUMPET DAFFODILS 
Emperor is one of the best large trumpet Daffodils. The color is a bright yellow, the 
stems long and the flowering time midseason. 7 cts. each, 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100. 
Empress is like last but the perianth pure white and the crown bright yellow. 
7 cts. each, 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100. 
Golden Spur is the favorite early golden yellow Daffodil. Not so large as Emperor 
but much earlier and a deeper yellow. 6 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz., $3.75 per 100. 
CROWN DAFFODILS 
Barrii conspicuus is very long-stemmed and free-flowering, with spreading, yellow 
perianth and the short crown or trumpet edged bright scarlet. Soon fades to a silvery 
white. Few sorts are finer for cutting. 4 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100. 
Cynosure is also tall with a sulphur-yellow perianth and the short cup stained 
scarlet. 4 cts. each, 30 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100. 
Sir Watkin is very much larger than others of this class and may be 5 inches across. 
The perianth is yellow and the cup light yellow. 7 cts. each, 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100. 
Mrs. Langtry has on first opening a delicately creamy white perianth with cup edged 
light yellow. It becomes pure white and is one of the daintiest of all. 4 cts. each, 30 cts. 
per doz., $2 per 100. 
POET'S NARCISSUS 
Universally loved, and the best of all for the ordinary garden is Poeticus ornatus; 
early, free-flowering, pure white; short cup stained scarlet. 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 
JONQUILS 
Differ from Daffodils first in having narrow leaves like the rush; secondly, in hav- 
ing two small golden yellow flowers which are quite fragrant. I have the little sweet- 
scented Campernelles. 30 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 
HYACINTHS 
In good second size to give fine bloom, all at $1 per doz. 
L'Innocence. Single, white. Gertrude. Soft pink. Gigantea. Very fine pink. 
Grand Maitre. Blue. Also fine mixed, at 75 cts. per doz. 
TULIPS 
In the following sorts. All of the taller late sorts. 
Inglescombe Pink. A lovely soft pink. 5 cts. each, 50 cts. per doz. 
Fulgens. An intense deep red with pointed petals. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz. 
Gesneriana macrospeila. A deep blood-red with showy black eye. 4 cts. each, 
40 cts. per doz. 
Gesneriana aurantiaca. Rich reddish orange. 4 cts. each, 40 cts. per doz. 
Darwin Tulips, Mixed. 40 cts. per doz., $2.25 per 100. 
SPRING SNOWFLAKES 
Spring Snowflakes are useful plants here in California where they can stay in the 
ground and will form fine free-flowering clumps. The foliage is grassy and the pure 
white flower is tipped with green. 30 cts. per doz. 
GLADIOLUS. See pages ir and 12.
