The Crested, Fascination, Fimbriata, Narcissus and Lloydii varieties in bulbs and young 
seedling plants can be furnished in mixed colors only. 
From July to November we offer large field plants in full bloom at $.40 each. $3.50

orange, etc. 
For those who wish bulbs delivered in the spring in distinct shades within the color 
variety, we will stake the bulbs in the field during the blossoming season and deliver these 
tubers at 50% increase above the regular bulb prices. Pay us a visit and stake the color and 
type you particularly desire. 
PLANTING AND CARE 
In the spring the dormant tubers show pink swellings at the center of the crown. They 
should then be potted in rich loose soil, preferably leaf mold. Be sure the drainage is good 
and that the tuber is so placed that the top center is above the soil. Water sparingly until 
the first leaves form, increasing the moisture supply after that time as the plant develops. 
After they are well established they can be transplanted to the bed or boxes or grown on 
in the pots for house plants. Do not plant until this pink bud shows and do not cover the top 
of the tuber with soil. Too early or too deep planting may kill the tuber. 
They thrive in partial shade—such as window boxes having a northern or eastern ex¬ 
posure where they do not get too much direct sunlight—under oak trees—or in partial 
shade in the garden. As house plants do not put them too close to a window as the direct 
sun through the glass might injure the plant. 
In the late fall when the tops die down water should be withheld until the plant dries 
out. If desired the tubers can be lifted, shaken free from the soil, or left in pots, stored in a 
cool dry place, preferably a dark shelf, until planting time. 
FOR CHRISTMAS—We put up attractive Christmas Gift Boxes of begonia tubers at our 
regular prices, mailed postpaid to all California points. No gift is more highly ap¬ 
preciated by the garden lover. 
RUST PROOF SNAPDRAGON SEED 
In our opinion, very few will plant the old strains of Snapdragons any more. We have 
carefully tested these and find in addition to the elimination of the objectionable rusty 
foliage, the freedom of the plants from this vitality sapping fungus results in stronger and 
more highly colored flower spikes. 
We offer the following varieties at $.25 per packet postpaid. Write for bulk prices. 
SHASTA—Pure white with same type of flower and habit as the popular greenhouse 
forcing variety Ceylon Court. Has a very distinct base branching habit. 
BRONZE SHADES—A great range of beautiful bronze colors. Striped, yellowish, red and 
dull orange shades of bronze; also deeper shades. 
PINK SHADES—A very remarkable pink mixture from the light pinks through every con¬ 
ceivable tone into very deep rosy hues.
