New Freesias and Oxalis 
There ia nothing more desirable, or more universally admired, or easier to grow, among winter 
blooming bulbs than Freesias and Oxalis. Recognizing their great importance we have secured 
new and improved strains, and grown enormous quantities of bulbs that we might offer them at 
low prices, so that all lovers of choice winter flowers can afford to have a good lot of them. 
We have tried to represent on this plate our new strain of Various Colored Grandi- 
flora Freesias and some of the finest Oxalis, but the work does not do justice to their large 
size, graceful form and delicate colors. Those who plant them will enjoy a rich feast of beauty. 
Freesias. 
A new class of bulbs, splendidly adapted for winter 
blooming, and are, we believe, the most popular winter 
blooming bulbs for amateurs. They are always sure to suc¬ 
ceed and bloom elegantly for anyone in any situation, and 
the great beauty and fragrance of the flowers are every¬ 
where admired, almost as no other winter bloomer is. The 
blossoms or buds when cut and placed in vases of water will 
keep perfect two weeks. In pots they commence blooming 
early and continue for a long time, the stems branching free¬ 
ly and producing several clusters of bloom in succession. 
Four to six bulbs can be planted in a five inch pot. They 
commence growth immediately after planting and need not 
be put away to form roots like Hyacinths, unless it is more 
convenient to do so. Planting successively from September 
to November will give a succession of bloom through the 
winter. We cannot too earnestly urge customers to plant 
this charming winter flower. Their free growth, abundant 
bloom, delicate beauty and charming fragrance will be a 
surprise and delight to all. The bulbs we supply are extra 
large and strong. Our new strain of many colored Grandi- 
floras is extra fine. 
Various Colored Crandlflora— This grand new strain is 
represented in this colored plate, and is the finest of all 
Freesias, possessing tints, colors and variegations not be¬ 
fore seen. Not only are the common white and yellow 
colors seen, but pink, purple, violet, primrose, canary, 
and some purple shades so deep and rich as to be almost 
red. The flowers are of gigantic size and borne in extra 
large clusters. The fragrance is rich and powerful. All 
colors mixed, 5c. each; 6 for 30c.; 12 for 35c.; 25 for 60c. 
Refracta Alba— Pure white, very sweet and popular. Fine 
large bulbs. 2 for 5c.; 15c. per dozen; $125 per 100. 
Lelchtllni Major—Rich orange yellow and white. 2 for 5c. ; 
15c. per dozen. 
Giant Bermuda —A magnificent strain of mixed hybrids, 
of various colors, from pure white to deep orange, shaded 
blotched, straw color, etc. Flowers very large and freely 
produced. 2 for 5c.; 20c. per dozen; $1,50 per 100. 
Mammoth French— We have secured a limited number of 
Freesia bulbs of enormous size. The magnitude of bloom 
which one of these bulbs will give will be perfectly 
astonishing. For winter blooming they are immense. 
5c. each; i for 10c.; 12 for 35c. 
Scarlet Freesia (Anomatheca Cruenta)—This is much like 
a Freesia in all respects except that it does not flower so 
early. Its flowers are bright scarlet, blotched with dark 
carmine, and very showy. Blooms in March or April 
and its bright color makes it very desirable for mixing in 
bouquets with other flowers. (Represented on this col¬ 
ored plate.) 6c. each; 3 for 15c.; 13 for 50c. 
Oxalis. 
These varieties of Oxalis are all for winter blooming. 
They make the most beautiful hanging pots and baskets, 
producing a mass of flowers all winter which in brilliant 
and beautiful colors are truly charming. Winter-blooming 
Oxalis are always sure to please. Plant five or six bulbs in 
a 6-inch pot. They commence growth immediately after 
planting and need not be set away to form roots like most 
other bulbs. They bloom during the entire winter, a thing 
we can expect of very few plants or bulbs, and are for that 
reason doubly worthy of a place in every collection of win¬ 
ter blooming bulbs. Our bulbs are particularly fine, and the 
Double Yellow, Bermuda Buttercup, and Yersicolor, which 
are shown on this plate will be found to be exceedingly 
showy and free blooming. 
Bowl Extra large brilliant red blossoms and luxuriant 
foliage. One of the very best. 
Lutea Major—Bright golden yellow in large clusters. One 
of the most magnificent. 
Multiflora Alba— Pure white; growth pretty and graceful, 
but a shy bloomer. 
Hlrta— Deep red, and also a shy bloomer. 
Versicolor— The prettiest of all. Beautiful foliage and 
compact growth with an abundance of large pearly white 
blossoms, each petal having a wide border of brilliant 
scarlet, a combination which is truly charming. The 
beautiful effect of the half open buds is admirably rep¬ 
resented on this plate. 
Price of above 5 sorts , 5c. each; 3 for 10c.; 13 for soc. 
Bermuda Buttercup— A fine, robust growing, large flower¬ 
ing yellow sort from Bermuda. Blooms in enormous 
panicles, each flower being as large as a silver half dol¬ 
lar, and of a clear bright yellow color. Bulbs commence 
blooming soon after planting and continue all winter 
without a break. Easily grown in any window and a 
most satisfactory winter bloomer. Fine large bulbs 10c. 
each; 3 for 20c.; 12 for 50c. 
Double Yellow (or Double Buttercup Oxalis)—This is ex¬ 
actly like the above except its blossoms are perfectly 
double like a rose. One of the finest of all flowers for 
winter blooming. A great acquisition. Fine bulbs, 10c. 
each; 3 for 20c.; 12 for 50c.
