Scillas 
The Scillas or Squills are hardy 
and vigorous bulbous plants, grow 
anywhere, bloom profusely, multiply 
rapidly and are fine for naturalizing, 
or border planting. I offer them in 
four varieties.

75c a dozen, $4 per 100. Small bulbs 
40c a dozen,_$2 per 100.

drona Drive, Seattle, Wash. 
Oriental Poppies 
These are the big hardy peren¬ 
nial Poppies which make such a 
gorgeous show in any garden. Very 
persistent when once established as 
no amount of neglect seems to cause 
them to run out. 
Oriental Poppies, scarlet, 20c, six 
for $1. 
Oriental Poppies, pink, 35c, four 
for $1. 
Oriental Poppy, Olympia, double 
scarlet, 2 5c, five for $1. 
Order from Joe Smith, 1722 Ma- 
drona Drive, Seattle, Wash. 
Grape Hyacinths 
The Grape Hyacinth,' Muscari 
Conicum, is a dainty little bulbous 
plant producing in May six inch 
spikes of royal blue globe shaped 
blooms. It is hardy anywhere, fine 
for cutting, forces readily and multi¬ 
plies rapidly. Every person who 
grows flowers for sale should have 
a planting of them. They require 
almost no care, and produce a 
wealth of bloom. I have usually sold 
them for 4 0c a dozen, and that is 
my price again this year. But a 
neighbor has a large planting of 
them he authorizes me to dispose of 
this year, and I can only hope to 
move them by offering them at an 
exceptional bargain. So I’m able to 
offer you five pounds of the bulbs, 
ungraded sizes, for $1,25, or 10 
pounds for $2, shipment by express 
collect. Five pounds should produce 
100 blooms or more next year. 
Ready to ship by July. Should be 
planted early as they make top 
growth in the fall. Joe Smith, 
1722 Madrona Drive, Seattle, Wash.

eral kinds of seed received from you 
in February and the germination is 
100 per cent I am sure.” Mrs. E. F.

“I’m having such excellent re¬ 
sults from the seed received from 
you that I cannot resist sending an¬ 
other order.” Mrs. H. R. Steeves, 
Westport, Conn. 
Can’t Believe It 
“Be sure and send a copy of the 
Bulletin to Mrs. Warren Dightman, 
she can’t believe flower seed come 
up like yours do. I showed her 
mine and she swears I talk babjr 
talk to them to have them come up 
so thick. Her place is one of the 
show places of town.” Helen Ed¬ 
wards, Friday Harbor, Wash.
