11 
came in multitudes to look over the fence in admiration of these very ones here 
offered. Not an old one in the whole lot. All Burbank productions. Bulbs, each, 
25c; ten, $1; hundred, $8; thousand, $50. 
New Gladiolus-"Elora" 
Height, three and one-half feet; great bloomer, even from the smallest bulbs; 
slender blue green foliage; long, full truss; flowers produced in greatest abun- 
dance, four and a half to tive inches across; WHITE suffused with pale violet; 
yellow throat with dainty crimson featherings; very striking. Multiplies with 
great rapidity. Unequaled in health and vigor. It is destined to be the forerunner 
of a new race. Bulbs, each, 50c; ten, $2; hundred, $15. 
Gladiolus bulbs can be planted at any time of the year, when most convenient to 
the planter, in all climates where the ground does not freeze over three inches in 
depth; in colder climates, all Spring and early Summer; and, if planted in suc- 
cession, will yield a wealth of blooms which no other flower can surpass in abun- 
dance, beauty, variety, or ease of culture. 
Plant six inches deep and two to six inches apart each way in beds, or two to 
six inches apart in rows, which may be one to four feet apart. 
A New Hybrid Hemerocallis— The " Burbank" 
The "Lemon Lily," though bearing a small flower, has been considered one of 
the best until recently the "Grandiflora Aurantiaca Major" was introduced. And 
now comes a new one, the "Burbank," which in combination of size, great beauty 
of form and color of the flowers, and their amazing abundance and perpetual pro- 
duction, has never been equaled — a new form. Height, twelve to eighteen inches. 
Every little plant blooms abundantly from the first; the flowers open wide and 
flat, not irregular and tubular like all those heretofore known; flowers five to six 
inches across; purest sparkling pale-lemon yellow throughout. Increases rapidly. 
Each, 75c; three, $2. 
A New Hybrid Hemerocallis— "Calypso" 
The flowers of "Calypso" resemble big pure lemon-yellow lilies, and can be 
produced anywhere, while the true lilies are not easily grown. The flowers 
are produced nearly all the season; the petals are revolute like the true lilies; 
height, three feet. Each, 40c; three, $1. 
Newest Carinas 
Cannas are too well known to need general description. These new kinds are 
wonderful in size and freedom of bloom and abundance and beauty of color. 
California-grown Cannas very far surpass in vigor those grown in colder climates 
(where they have to be stored to avoid freezing), producing larger and healthier 
plants and blooming earlier and more abundantly. No other flower produces such 
a grand effect with so little care. 
"Tarry town" 
The best of my crimson seedlings. Height, four feet. It is well known that no 
Canna surpasses this triple truss, pure crimson Canna in brilliance of color and 
freedom of bloom. It sends out truss after truss of flowers from Spring to frost; 
a veritable mass of crimson. Height three feet. Each, 30c; four, $1; ten, $2; 
hundred, $12.
