Box of Van Waveren’s Giant which won first prize 
in Spalding, England, April 19, 1930 in a competitive

GRAND MIXTURE 
Our mixture contains a great range of varieties. It is 
not just any old kind with a handful of something else 
thrown in. We furnish a mixture that any one may 
proudly show to his neighbor or friend, for it is made 
up of the thousands of bulbs that “volunteer” after the 
previous year’s digging. Our giant trumpets are there 
as well as the redcups and Leedsii’s. It is probably 
due to the many pleasant surprises in it that our Grand 
Mixture sells so well —-- per 1,000 $35.00 
CUT FLOWER MIXTURE 
An excellent blending of varieties suitable for natural¬ 
izing or other mass plantings. It furnishes seedsmen a 
reliable article which they can offer to their trade at an 
attractive price. A few hundred of these reasonably 
priced bulbs, planted in any garden corner, will furnish 
many surprises and a fine lot of flowers for table and 
room decoration. 
Per 1,000 $25.00; per 10,000 $200.00.

NARCISSUS 
FOR THE ROCK GARDENS 
APRICOT. (Trumpet.) Creamy white pointed 
perianth, trumpet pale apricot with distinct 
pink glow. Form of flower resembles a small 
Princeps. One of the first breaks to show a red 
tinting in the trumpet. Now exceedingly scarce 
as it propagates slowly. Height about 9 inches. 
For a semi-shaded spot in the rockery. Only 20 
bulbs offered this season. Each $1.00 
BULBOCODIUM CONSPICUUS. That such 
a lovely little flower should bear the unlovely

Per 100 
popular name of the Hoop Petticoat requires 
a good deal of imagination. It grows only 
6 inches tall with fine rush like foliage, the 
flowers are about an inch wide and the entire 
impression is one of petite daintiness. It shivers 
in the middle of March weather, being one 
of the very earliest heralds of Spring. 
Deep sheltered pockets in the rock garden 
filled with a sandy peat soil suit it admirably. 
It is rich golden yellow. Our stock is very 
limited - l-OX)
