FRAGRANT FREESIAS 
Our larger bulbs will produce longer, stronger stems 
and more flowers. 
The newer colored freesias are really gorgeous either 
in beds or as cut flowers and should be freely planted 
in all gardens. All the freesias are very easily grown, 
and take very little room, adapting themselves to any 
part of the garden. The bulbs should be planted quite 
close together (about three inches apart). 
Freesias are very charming subjects to plant in the 
rock garden, their dainty bell shaped flowers on slender 
stems making a beautiful appearance. 
Improved Purity. A large and beautiful pure white variety. 
Very fragrant.

THE RARE NEW 
WATSON IA HYBRID 
(ANTHOLYZA) 
A brilliant orange red flower, entirely distinct 
from any other Watsonia, flowering much earlier, 
(if planted in September they will bloom in mid¬ 
winter) with gracefully arranged flowers in long 
spikes, many of the stems artistically curving—a 
delight to anyone who arranges lovely floral dec¬ 
orations. 
It is one of the finest novelties we have ever 
offered and wherever we have displayed it in the 
flower shows its arresting beauty has stopped all 
visitors. 
Since not all of the bulbs in the same bed will 
bloom at one time, the flowering season is ex¬ 
tended for several months and for this reason 
those who have room for a good sized planting 
should put out several hundred bulbs; it will be 
an investment that will pay many times over. 
Their culture is simple, the same as for the 
Gladiolus or Watsonia—but be sure to plant them 
early. 
$2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 100 
BABY GLADIOLUS 
The Baby Gladioli are entirely distinct from the large 
flowered types, blooming much earlier, and the slender 
spikes of blossoms are very graceful, making them very 
useful for decorative purposes. They should be planted 
in a fairly sunny position, in well prepared soil, covering 
the bulbs to a depth of one inch. 
Appolyn. Bright salmon, with dark blotch. 
Ackerm&ni. Rich orange scarlet. 
Blushing Bride. Bluish white, lower petals blotched with 
pink. 
Fiery Knight. Brilliant red. 
Peachblossom. Beautiful clear rose-pink. 
Queen Wilhelmina. Lavender. 
The Bride. Clear pure white. 
Select bulbs, 75c per dozen 
$5.00 per 100 
NEW FLOWERLAND HYBRID MINIATURE 
GLADIOLUS 
This is a distinct new race of gladiolus, the result of 
a cross between the Baby “Glads” and one of the larger 
types. They produce wonderful long sprays of graceful 
flowers in a wide array of attractive new colors includ¬ 
ing shades of pink, salmon, rose, red, purple, and lav¬ 
ender. Their long slender stems, and the graceful ar¬ 
rangement of the flowers make them most excellent for 
cutting; especially beautiful in basket work. 
Selected colors in the following shades: Scarlet, Rose, _ Light 
Pink, Lavender, Ashes of Roses, Orange, Salmon, Crimson, 
Orchid, White flaked with crimson. 
Select bulbs: 75c per dozen, $5.00 per 100. Postpaid

ments.
