BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is not hard to force bulbs for winter flowers, 
and ail of the kinds grouped under this heading 
are very suitable for this winter window forcing. 
Of course many of the hardy bulbs, Muscari, 
Narcissus, Triteleia in particular, are good for 
growing in pots during the winter, too. 
BABIANA TRUE AZURE—The blossoms are 
bluer than indigo, a rich living blue that is hard 
to describe. Flowers easily and quickly in pots. 
Very lovely. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c. 
ALLIUM NEAPOLITANUM—This is a really 
good winter forcing or pot bulb, coming into 
bloom readily under glass, and lasting well. Nod¬ 
ding clusters of white blossoms with colored 
stamens. Pretty. 4 for 25c; 9 for 50c. 
SPARAXIS BLEND—All these bulbs need is a 
sunny window in a cool room to yield a wealth 
of winter beauty. The flowers are large, several 
open at once, and the colors are exceedingly var¬ 
ied and most brilliant. Often the throat shows 
a contrasting hue, or there may be bright zon- 
ings. I like Sparaxis, and I think everyone will 
that trys it. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
THE BABY GLADIOLUS —A very distinct 
strain, used altogether for pot culture or green¬ 
house forcing. Their natural season of bloom is 
the winter months, and a pot of them in full 
blossom is a dainty and lovely thing. May be 
grown in any sunny window. The flowers are 
airy in form, each with a diamond-shaped mark¬ 
ing on the lower petal, and shades of lavender 
orchid, salmon, pink, rose and crimson are in 
the blend. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
LEUCOCORYNE IXIOIDES ODORATA —The 
lovely Glory of the Sun, a rare treasure from the 
hills of Chile, and often considered the most 
charming of all bulb flowers for the winter win¬ 
dow. The 18 inch stems carry each several very 
large and starry soft blue flowers, with undulate 
petals and white centers. The blossoms are in¬ 
tensely fragrant and particularly long-lasting. 
For winter pot culture only. Very good, indeed. 
Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
ORNITHOGALUM AUREUM—Golden Chinker- 
richee. For quick and easy winter flowers, al¬ 
most solid clusters of radiant golden-orange on 
long stems, lasting, each spike, for many months, 
try this new and still scarce species. You must 
see it to really appreciate it. Ea. 35c; 3 for$1.00. 
ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM — The tender 
Star of Bethlehem, a really superb pot bulb for 
winter flowering. Large and airy clusters of 
pure white wide-open flowers, each with a shin¬ 
ing black-green center. Not hardy outside, but 
very easily forced in a sunny window. The blos¬ 
soms are highly attractive, delightfully perfumed, 
and last for many weeks. Do not confuse with 
the hardy star of Bethlehem. 3 for 25c; 7 for 
50c; 15 for $1.00. 
AVALON WINTER WINDOW OFFER—Four 
bulbs each of Babiana, Sparaxis, and Baby Glad¬ 
iolus, with three of Triteleia coerulea and three 
of Ornithogalum arabicum, 18 in all, for ONE 
DOLLAR in the collection. If you want some¬ 
thing different, and more charming, than the 
usual run of winter bulbs, try these five kinds. 
All are delightful.
