The New Ornithogalum Aureum 
Lily of the Valley 
Outdoor type, 12 for 60c; 100 for $4.00; Potting and 
Forcing type, 12 for $1.00; 100 for $8.00. December 
delivery. 
Essentially a shade loving plant. Give northern 
or northwestern exposure with rich, sandy loam. 
Slender stems of frosted, scented bells hiding among 
bright green leaves give refreshment for the mind 
and the spirit. Try the Potting or Forcing Pips 
in a pot of Bulb Fibre indoors. They are extremely 
simple of culture. Always set so the tips of 
pips are above ground. 
SNOWDROPS (See Galanthus Nivalis) 
Spar axis 
Finest Mixed 12 for 40c; 25 for 75c 
Delightful spring-blooming Cape bulbs of the Ixia 
group, their beautiful flowers being borne on grace¬ 
ful spikes about 6 to 8 inches high and the colors 
of the brightest, and all shades. They are tigered, 
blotched, spotted, streaked and flushed, a complete 
riot of color. 
Tigridia 
(Tiger Flower) 
Mexican Shell Flower. One of the handsomest sum¬ 
mer flowering plants known. Lily-like, three-petalled 
blooms with tiger-spotted contrasting cup-shaped throat 
and three small overlapping petals colored and spotted 
the same as the throat. 
Individual blooms last a day, but each stem will 
produce two and three blooms in quick succession and 
a mature plant will throw as many as a hundred blos¬ 
soms during the months of July, August and September. 
Happy in full sun, in deep, well drained soil. Plant 
3 inches deep. If soil is heavy, place sand under bulbs. 
Pavonia Hybrids 15c ea.; 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.50 
Red, rose, yellow shades—separate colors or mixed 
as desired. (White and improved pink: 20c ea.; 3 
for 50c; 12 for $2.00.) 
T ritonia 
(Flame Freesia) 
Crocata Hybrids 12 for 50c; 25 for 90c 
Very floriferous and requires same treatment as 
the Freesia. Hybrids contain many new shades of 
orange, red, blue and pink, with interesting blotches 
at the base of petals. Splendid for cutting. 12 
inches tall. Plant about 2 inches deep in well 
drained sunny spot. 
Ornithogalum 
(Star of Bethlehem) 
Very easily grown bulbs which multiply rapidly 
under any condition. 
Arabicum 12 for 60c; 25 for $1.00 
Large umbel of white flowers with black boss and 
yellow anthers on tall spikes which make them 
splendid for cutting. They will keep 7 to 8 days 
when cut. 
Aureum 25c ea. ; 3 for 65c 
New. An outstanding novelty. Umbels of rich 
apricot-orange flowers-on 8 inch stems. A charm¬ 
ing pot plant and a valuable addition to the garden 
bed. Keeps as a cut flower for several weeks. 
Plant the small bulbs about 3 inches deep in any 
loamy soil. 
Peonies 
(Herbaceous) 
Large, double blooms of satiny texture. They re¬ 
quire deep, rich soil, slightly alkaline, but the crowns 
or eyes of roots must be exposed, otherwise they will 
not bloom for several years. They must be watered 
copiously during the dry spells of winter. 
Separate colors 50c ea. ; 3 for $1.25 
Strong clumps, pure white; rose pink; rich red. 
Ranunculus 
Brilliant, lovely globular-shaped flowers. They re¬ 
quire a thoroughly well-drained soil with sufficient 
humus to insure even moisture. They are happiest 
protected from the burning hot afternoon sun. Soak 
roots in water until they swell; cover them about 1 
inch deep and be sure to plant them with claws pointing 
down. 
Tecolote Rainbow Mixed 12 for 50c; 25 for 90c 
By far the largest and most magnificent strain 
ever offered. Flowers are very double, blended 
with giant semi-double. Colors of orange, red, yel¬ 
low, pink, and every desirable shade of these.
