Mrs. Bullard's 
HYBRID WATSONIAS 
The Hybrid Watsonia, originated in California. 
For the production of these wonderful hybrid watsonias 
the world is indebted to the skill and the perseverance of 
the late Mrs. J. H. Bullard of Los Angeles, who spent 
nearly 20 years hybridizing and selecting these flowers, 
until they are now produced in an endless number of beau¬ 
tiful shades. Starting in with only two colors, orange scar¬ 
let and white, she has produced between 40 and 50 new 
shades, some of the choicest of which are offered in this 
catalogue. 
The watsonia is closely related to the gladiolus but grows 
much taller, reaching a height of from 3 to 6 feet. While 
the flowers are smaller they are produced in far greater 
numbers, and are more delicate and graceful both in color 
and form. 
After the main spike has blossomed, several smaller 
side spikes are produced, and it is quite common to have 
a total of 50 to 60 flowers on a single stem. Thus the 
flowers appear over a much longer period than gladiolus 
and make a grand display in the garden. The long stems 
and graceful airy arrangement of the flowers makes the 
watsonia particularly desirable as a cut flower. 
Plant the bulbs from end of August to early part of 
November in any good garden soil, placing them 8 to 10 
inches apart and about 5 inches deep in light soils or 4 
inches deep in heavy soils. The plants will bloom the 
following spring.
