BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is not hard to force bulbs for winter flowers, and all 
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. A 
leaflet of cultural instructions will be included with all 
shipments of winter-flowering bulbs sent out. 
ORNITHOGALUM AUREUM — Golden Chinkerrichee. 
For quick and easy winter flowers, almost 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. Each 15c; 3 for 40c. 
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 shining black-green center. Not hardy outside, 
but very easily forced in a sunny window. The blossoms 
are highly attractive, delightfully perfumed, and last for 
many weeks. Do not confuse with the hardy Star of Beth¬ 
lehem, page 11. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1.00. 
LACHENALIA RECTOR OF CAWSTON—In this fine 
Hybrid Lachenalia, the pendulous blossoms of brilliant scar¬ 
let, tipped with citron, are carried in loose spikes. For pot 
culture only, flowering as quickly and easily during the 
winter as will Freesia. Showy, and unusual. 2 for 35c; 
6 for $1.00. 
NARCISSUS PAPER WHITE — Clustered blossoms of 
purest white, sweetly fragrant. Unexcelled for quick winter 
blooming indoors. Often grown in pebbles and water. By 
making succession plantings at intervals, one may have 
Paper Whites in bloom from Thanksgiving to Easter. Not 
for garden culture. 4 for 20c; 10 for 45c; 25 for $1.00; 
100 for $3.75. 
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. 
THE BABY GLADIOLUS—A very distinct strain, used 
altogether for pot culture or greenhouse 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 marking 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. 
AMARYLLIS JOHNSONI—A particularly easy Amaryllis 
for pot culture, with clustered flowers of rosy red, each petal 
bearing a wide center-band of pure white. Each 35c, 3 for $1. 
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 varied and most brilliant. Often the 
throat shows a contrasting hue, or there may be bright 
zonings. I like Sparaxis, and I think everyone will that 
tries it. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
SEA DAFFODIL—Big serrate flower-cups of snowy white¬ 
ness, with short waving guard petals. The blossoms are 
intensely fragrant, and are carried in clusters. This is Pan¬ 
cratium maritimum. Usually grown as a pot plant, for 
which purpose it is highly effective, but southern customers 
will please note that it is fairly hardy in the garden, often 
wintering outside, if protected, as far north as Philadelphia. 
Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 5 for $1.00.
