Take my word for it and try them in the window 
or garden. When they bloom you’ll want to 
send me a birthday present to show your appre¬ 
ciation. (Just ask my wife what she wants for 
me or what she needs the most.) 
MUSCARI OR GRAPE 
HYACINTHS 
The dainty little clusters of blue flowers re¬ 
sembling a tiny cluster of Concord grapes are 
loved by all who see them. Hardy everywhere. 
5c ea. 4 0c doz. 
Culture. Plant in early fall preferably but 
bulbs remain sound and may be planted here 
until the holidays. Plant about 3 in. deep, quite 
close. In potting about 6 bulbs to a 5 in. pot is 
right. 
LILIES 
It is best to plant these in the late fall as 
soon as dormant. Send your order now and the 
bulbs will be sent at the proper time to plant. 
Culture. Most lilies prefer deep planting, 
about 5 to 6 inches deep, except bulbs that are 
one inch or less in diameter should be a little 
less. They prefer the partial shade of shrubs or 
trees but the following do very well in full sun. 
Use no fertilizer except thoroughly decayed and 
pulverized manure and bone meal mixed with 
soil. Do not allow ground to dry out when they 
are dormant and water liberally when growing. 
A ground mulch is very good. 
L. Elegans, var. “Best Red.’’ The name de¬ 
scribes it. 15 in. to 24 in. tall, just right to 
transfer from garden to pot for Mother’s Day, 
when it blooms here. Very hardy and easy to 
grow. 20c each. 3 for 50c. 7 for $1.00. 
L. regale. Fragrant white flowers, delicately 
suffused pink with sulphury throat. The hardi¬ 
est and most easily grown lily. 15c each. 4 for 
50c. 
L. tigrinuin. Single. Old, well-known lily 
blooming late summer. We grow ours in the 
full sun and they do fine. One of the finest lilies. 
15c and 25c each. 4 small for 55c or 4 large 
for 85fc. 
CALLA LILIES 
We shall group here all so-called Callas in¬ 
cluding Arums and related plants. Most of them 
are popularly called Calla Lilies but none are 
Callas botanically. 
Culture. All the Zantedeschias and Arum 
palaestinum are suitable for pot culture. See 
potting method discussed under “Bulbs for 
House Culture.” A. palaestinum will start about 
September or later. Do not put this bulb into 
moist soil before that or they will rot. Zante¬ 
deschias, pink, yellow, spotted leaf and white 
callas may be potted by about .Dec. 15. Don’t 
rush them as too much water before they start 
to grow may rot them. They may be held back 
and started in the spring. They all do well in 
the garden in a very moist semi-shaded place. 
They are not hardy in cold climates; dig in 
fall. The White Calla usually blooms in Cali¬ 
fornia in the garden in late winter. In pots 
it is an error to keep them growing continuously. 
If rested thru summer you will be rewarded 
with flowers. 
Zantedeschia aethiopica, var. Baby Calla. This 
is the smallest and whitest calla. Small enough 
•tor corsage. L. 40c; small bulbs 25c. 
Z. aethiopa, var. Godfrey Calla. The best and 
most popular of dwarf Callas before "Baby” was 
introduced. Being twice as large as Baby makes 
it a “medium” size. This is so much more ap¬ 
propriate in size, freer in blooming and more 
desirable every way that we do not recommend 
the large type. 20c and 30c. 
Z. Albo-maculata. The prettiest foliage of all 
and worth growing for that alone. Special. Small 
bulbs that may not bloom first year but I think 
they will with good culture—10c. Large 25c. 
Z. elliotiana'. Pure golden yellow flowers. 15c 
to 25c, all blooming size. 
Z. rehmanni. The famous pink Calla. Colors 
vary from pink to rose red. The plant and 
flowers are small, growing only to about 12 in. 
50c, 75c and extra large for $1.00. The larger 
sizes bloom more surely for amateurs. 
Arum italicum. The dark green leaves are 
attractively lined with very light green, almost 
white. Flower very odd ivory white. Grows in 
early spring to summer, hence may be left in 
ground in the east. In California it may be 
planted in fall. S. 15c. Blooming size 25c. 
A. palaestinum. Solomon’s Lily or Black 
Calla. Winter growing and the only arum fit for 
pots. Plant and flower looks liks a calla but the 
flower is really black. It has no disagreeable 
odor like most Arums. Blooming size 4 0c, very 
large 75c. Must be ordered early as they can¬ 
not be held back very long. 
Dracunculus vulgaris. A gorgeous tropical 
appearing plant and flower. The flower has very 
disagreeable odor when first open. May be 
planted in the spring in the east to a depth of 
S in. or more and will live over winter safely. 
S. 50c. M. 75c. L. $1.00. 
N.B. Californians, please add 3% Sales Tax. 
RANUNCULUS AND ANEMONES 
These are standard florists’ flowers, among 
the most useful for cutting. We cannot imagine 
a more gorgeous riot of color in the garden than 
a bed of Ranunculus with a few Anemones for 
blues. They are favorites too for illustrating 
the covers of flower catalogs. 
The colors in Ranunculus are shades of rich¬ 
est reds and yellows but no blue. This im¬ 
proved type has very large double flowers. Only 
under poor culture or secondary flowers (side 
branches) are you likely to get semi-doubles. 
Anemones are richest in blues, though the 
colors range thru reds, pinks to white, as in Ra¬ 
nunculus, but no yellow. The stems are shorter 
and the flowers larger but only semi-double. In 
fact a double Anemone is undesirable. 
Plant Ranunculus and Anemones as an econ¬ 
omy measure. They are the most economical 
source of cut flowers and nothing is more cheer¬ 
ful. In California they bloom in the winter 
which makes them doubly desirable. 
Culture. These bulbs bloom in about 10 or 
12 weeks after planting, sometimes less if care¬ 
fully attended. Hence for Christmas flowers 
plant before Oct. 1. The earlier the better. 
Count back 12 weeks and you know when to 
plant but remember they come much more 
quickly when weather is moderately warm. In 
the east plant in very early spring. Light frosts 
do not hurt them. Plant every two weeks for a 
succession. 
It makes no difference which end is up, just 
drop them in the furrow about 3 or 4 in. apart 
and cover 1 in. During colder months they like 
full sun or nearly so. In warmer weather par¬ 
tial shade is necessary to get good flowers. Do 
not plant so that they blooiri during our hot 
summer months in California. They like cool 
weather. 
The ground should be moist and not allowed 
to dry out. A bed may be covered with burlap 
and sprinkled occasionally. But don’t keep them 
soggy. One good drying out results fatally 
often. Another cause of failure is that birds 
sometimes eat them when coming up. Later 
they do not bother. Brush, netting or muslin 
on a frame a foot above will protect when nec¬ 
essary. 
Our bulbs are first class and Al, grown by 
best specialists. The only reason for failure 
will be a cause outside the bulbs. 
We recommend size No. 3. Ours are large 
No. 3. Some growers grade them too small. 
Larger sizes do not give better flowers, usu¬ 
ally not as good and they are no good the sec¬ 
ond year. For greenhouse forcing only would 
1 recommend them.

THE AMARYLLIS FAMILY 
This plant family includes the following gen¬ 
era; Amaryllis, Clivia, Cooperia, Crinum, Cyr- 
tanthus. Eucharis, Hippeastrum (commonly 
known as “Amaryllis”). Habranthus, a subgenus 
of Hippeastrum, Leucojum, Lycorus, Nerine, 
Polianthes, Sternbergia, Zephyranthes and many 
more. Only a few are listed here as suitable f 
for fall planting. See Spring Catalog for others. 
FALL BLOOMING AMARYLLIDS 
If the following group is ordered at once and 
planted before September 25 there is a very good 
chance they will bloom for you. But they can't 
be held back long. All are hardy as far north 
as N. Carolina and can be grown in protected 
situations even at Washington, D. C. Foliage is 
not harmed by temperature of 22°. In colder 
sections plant in pots and plunge in garden. 
Remove to a cool room or basement and keep 
growing all winter. They don’t like a hot room. 
Around 40° at night is best. 
Amaryllis belladonna. Lady Godiva Lily. 
Beautiful, soft pink, fragrant flowers in an 
umbel, appearing before leaves. Aug. to Oct. 
Often called the “Naked Lady Lily” but we think 
“Lady Godiva Lily" better suggests its refined 
and modest beauty and sweetness. Two varie¬ 
ties Major (the better) and Minor (smaller and 
later). Blooming size 25c. Very large 35c. 
Habranthus miniatus. A small blood red 
amaryllis, seven or more flowers in an umbel. 
Plant about 6 in deep. 25c. Extra large 35c. 
Lycorus aurea. Golden Spider Lily. Very 
rare and beautiful. The golden flowers have 
long twisted petals and long stamens like a 
Spider Lily. $2.00 each. 
Lycorus radiata. Red Spider Lily. Usually 
known as Nerine sarniensis which it is not. 
Every southern garden should contain hundreds 
of this lovely flower. Each 25c. 6 for $1.00. 
Per doz. $1.75. Per 100 $12.00. 
Lycorus squamigera. Amaryllis Halli. Per¬ 
fectly hardy in the north as foliage comes up in 
early spring instead of growing all winter like 
others. Bluish flowers in an umbel. $1.00. 
Nerine filifolia. Lovely pink flowers in a mass 
of fine foliage. Evergreen. Transplants any 
time. Price 25c each. 
SPRING AND SUMMER 
BLOOMING AMARYLLIDS 
Clivia miniata. Clivias are the aristocrats of 
all bulbs. They were a sensation in the New 
York Flower Show last spring. Gorgeous orange 
yellow flowers in a many flowered umbel about 
Feb. to March. Requires full shade under a 
tree if grown outside. Will not stand over 
about 8 degrees o? frost without some injury to 
leaves. Usually grown in pots. Large plants 
require 6 in. to 8 in. pots. Give good drainage 
above all. Soil should be heavy rich loam mixed 
with well decayed manure and sand with per¬ 
fect drainage. S. 75c. Med. $1.25. L. $2.00. 
The large size should bloom next February. The 
medium size may bloom then. The small ones 
bloom in a couple of years. 
Clivia hybrids. These have larger flowers in 
orange tones from very light to almost red, but 
are sold unclassified as to color. Flowers are 
larger than Miniata. Three year old plants $1.00. 
Plants-Mint will bloom next spring possibly “en¬ 
sure to bloom in 1939, $4.00. Blooming size 
plants $5.00. 
Crinum Virginia Leo. See description in our 
spring catalog. This is to announce that for this 
fall the price is reduced to $7.50 each. 
Cyrtanthus parviflorus. A very rare bulb allied 
to the Zephyranthes. It has bloomed continu¬ 
ously since early spring. It has evergreen foli¬ 
age and would probably flower in pots in the 
house in winter, as the flowers are better in cool 
weather. Flowers are small in a many flowered 
umbel and are a rare color, cinnabar red. Price 
$1.00 each. 
Eucharis gran diflora. Beautiful, fragrant 
white flowers with a central cup. A flower of 
remarkable beauty that rivals the orchid and 
the clivia. Use plenty of well decayed compost 
or manure and a little bone meal in the potting 
soil. They require shade. Plant outside only in 
milder sections of south. Extra fine for pots in 
the north. They do not like to be disturbed 
often and bloom best when pot bound. By par¬ 
tially resting they can be made to bloom as 
often as four times in a year. Growing bulbs 
carefully packed in peat with roots and foliage, 
$1.50 each. 
Hippeastrum hybrids. These are standard 
potting bulbs and are easily brought into flower 
in the house. Commonly known as “Amaryllis" 
( they are popular everywhere. They are hardy 
outdoors as far north as some parts of North 
Carolina. For success give them a good rich 
potting soil and occasionally liquid manure. 
Keep them growing as vigorously as possible 
until late fall. Then withhold water and give 
at least two months rest. When again started 
they bloom between January to April. Pot bulbs 
half above the surface. 
Sibyl Houdyshel. A nearly pure white Am¬ 
aryllis. Has narrow pink margin and flushed 
and lined red in throat. Very hardy grower and 
Increases rapidly. Large bulbs $3.50 each. 
American hybrids. These amaryllis are of 
assorted color and quality ranging from nearly 
white to pink and red. 50c each. 
Superior hybrids. These are the best quality 
we can obtain. Colors assorted 75c each. 
Red Hybrids. Red colors are much sought for. 
$1.50 each. 
Leucojum vernum. Lovely and dainty white 
flowers with petals tipped with a dot of green. 
They rival Lily of the Valley. Bloom January to 
April. Plant 4 in. deep in well drained soil and 
protect with winter mulch in cold climates. 
Quite hardy. Last January during our worst 
freeze in many years Leucojums bloomed right 
along with Chinese lilies and other Narcissus. 
10c each. 50c doz. Special. We have some 
am all. bulbs. bjLfiOJUin^^ize,.^ 30 for $1.00. 
GLADIOLUS 
Gladiolus are the most popular of all garden 
flowers. More glads are sold by the Florist than 
any other flower. When the thrips that spoil 
the flowers first appeared many gave up and 
threw away their bulbs. But science has con¬ 
quered them and we are growing good flowers. 
We have sold good blooms all summer until 
now, Aug. 20, and will have them another 
month. The secret? Treat the bulbs and after 
warm weather begins use overhead irrigation. 
Follow our culture directions below. 
GLADIOLUS CULTURE 
AND HOW TO CONQUER THRffS 
Plant large bulbs 4 inches deep in any good 
rich soil. Small bulbs and bulblets may be cov¬ 
ered two inches. We plant two rows in one fur¬ 
row. Place bulbs twice their diameter apart. 
To avoid thrips damage, plant early dug bulbs 
from Nov. 15 to Feb. 1. They bloom then about 
April to May during cool weathef. Thrips usu¬ 
ally do little damage before the quite warm 
weather of June. Good treated bulbs planted in 
late fall are sure to produce good flowers. 
No difference when you plant, however, do 
not plant thrips infested bulbs. The following 
treatment of the bulbs will destroy all thrips 
from eggs to adult. 
Treatment. Dissolve 1 oz. powdered commer¬ 
cial Corrosive Sublimate in one gallon of hot 
water. Be sure all dissolves. Then add to 6 V4 
gal. of cool water, making 7% gal. of solution. 
Use only glass, crock or wooden container. Any 
metal will destroy the potency of the solution 
and also be corroded. Soak bulbs 7 or 8 hours. 
The solution is a deadly poison. If bulbs are 
peeled, G hours will be long enough and results 
even more sure. Burn husks. 
It is better to treat just before planting as 
thrips can get on again. Don’t plant near last 
season’s glad bed and especially avoid planting 
near untreated bulbs of your own or neighbor’s 
garden. Bulbs that were left in the ground may 
bloom early and escape damage and still infest 
the later blooming glads. Therefore it is best 
to dig all bulbs and treat every year. 
Clean up all trash in the garden. Leaves, 
weeds and tops of bulbs are an ideal winter pro¬ 
tection for thrips. It is safest to burn but I pile 
them up and keep wet so that thrips are drowned 
and the material turned into valuable humus. 
Now suppose you do everything and in spite 
of all. your late blooming glads have thrips in¬ 
troduced some way. It might be a few escaped 
or they may even get in on clothing of visitors 
or from infested glads in a neighbor’s garden. 
We have had 20,000 infested by one untreated 
bulb. All is not lost. Get a sprinkler. Set it 
to cover the glad garden and sprinkle at least 
an hour every evening. Give enough to keep 
glads well watered. No danger of giving too 
much. Thrips don’t like a shower bath. You 
can get good flowers this way all summer. We 
have had good flowers.even in August by sprink¬ 
ling almost daily when part of the planting had 
been ruined earlier by thrips. 
Overhead irrigation is insurance against 
thrips if done often—daily if necessary. Irri¬ 
gate at night, not morning or daytime. 
If you purchase our bulbs no more treatment 
is needed. We treat them before selling. 
Don’t think you cannot plant glads in spring 
for summer blooming. You can successfully 
raise good flowers later if you use overhead 
sprinkler three or four times a week. But it’s 
far safer and simpler to plant Nov. 15 to Feb. 1, 
the earlier date being preferred. 
Don’t cut off leaves when cutting flowers. 
Don't let them dry off until good growth is made 
after blooming, at least two months. Give just 
as much water after blooming as before. .Don't 
throw away your bulbs because thrips ruined 
the flowers. The bulbs are not hurt. Bulbs re¬ 
quire three months rest. Don’t expect recently 
dug bulbs to grow at once when planted. 
The price of one bulb is given. Twelve are 
sold for the price of ten. 100 cost 70 times the 
price of one. 
We begin digging glads in August. Probably 
all varieties will be ready to send out before 
November 1. Order now and bulbs will be 
shipped as soon as ready and in plenty of time 
to plant. Don't plant too early. 
Remember our bulbs are treated against 
■thrips and all diseases. When you buy cheap 
bulbs you usually are buying also some very ex¬ 
pensive thrips and Bacterium marginatum. Re¬ 
sult. poor flowers, our prices are low for qual¬ 
ity bulbs. 
Bulbs are large, 1 *4 inch diameter or over ex¬ 
cept when noted. On most sorts we have Jumbo 
bulbs for 2c each above price given.

WATSONIAS 
This cousin of the gladiolus is a winter grower 
hence blooms much earlier. They bloom through 
a much longer season also. The graceful stems 
and pretty flowers are wonderful for cutting. 
Culture: Plant in earlTPSt fall in same manner 
as gladioli. They need not be dug until too 
crowded. White 50c doz. Pink, Orange Red or 
Mixed Colors, 65c doz. Mrs. Bullard’s Hybrids, 
90c doz. 
IXIAS 
Ixias grow about 30 in. tall, have pretty 
flowers on wiry stems and are nice for cutting. 
Culture. Plant in early fall in full sun or par¬ 
tial shade. Plant two inches deep. They do 
not have to be dug until crowded. 
Mixed Ixias, 35c doz. 
Txia Bloom Erf hybrids. New hybrids from 
South Africa that grow 4 to 5 ft. tall. Mixed

stem. Fine cut flower. 15c ea. $1.00 per doz. 
• 
MONTBRETIA 
His Majesty. Montbretias are related to 
gladiolus, watsonias, etc. Culture like them. 
In California they may be planted in fall. In 
cold climates in the spring. Plant about 2 in. 
deep. His Majesty is the very best of all vari¬ 
eties, quite different from the older types. Flow¬ 
ers 4 in. or more across. Deep velvety scarlet 
shading to gold. Outside, crimson and gold. 
4% ft. tall. 25c ea. 
BEARDED IRIS 
If you don't know the great improvement in 
modern iris don’t fail to plant a few this fall. 
We will send ten fine sorts for $1.00 or 20 good 
ones, $1.00. Thirty all different $2.00. 
Send for our Bargain List of Iris, a mimeo¬ 
graphed list, not a fine catalog. Many fine ones 
at 5c each. 
Culture. Plant not over one inch deep and 
about one foot apart. Full sun preferred. Keep 
moist until growth starts then water liberally to 
produce a good blooming clump quickly. No 
fertilizer. Roots planted in early fall usually 
bloom the following spring under favorable con¬ 
ditions. 
Bobby Houdyshel. Ground color white, flushed 
phlox pink and dotted and feathered with deep 
phlox pink. This color arrangement is called 
the Plicata Type. This is an exquisite dwarf iris 
as beautiful as an orchid which it resembles in 
color. Fine in the Rock Garden. 25c. 
Cecil Houdyshel. A fine hardy blue-lavender 
plicata. Not as large as San Francisco (which 
may winter kill in some states) but equally as 
beautiful. 50c. 
Eleanor Brooks. Seedling of Bobby H., larger 
and deeper in color, blended with yellow in 
throat. 50c. 
Golden Cataract. (Tom Metcalf.) Pure gold¬ 
en yellow. The nearest to an everblooming iris. 
Here it has shown flowers 7 months out of the 
year, (not continuously.) Gorgeous in spring 
and fall. Certainly a better bloomer than Elea¬ 
nor Roosevelt. Increases more rapidly than an> 
other iris. Plant a do&en if you can afford it 
and you’ll be proud to invite the town in when 
they flower. $2.50 each. Special, one dozen for 
$22.50. Offer limited to this fall. 
Iris Bargain. We have the surplus seedlings 
from three growers. These are crosses of latest 
and best varieties. Many of the parent varieties 
sell for $1.00 to $10.00 each. These seedlings 
are extra fine but either not sufficiently distinct 
from an existing variety or not enough better 
(in the opinion of the breeder) to warrant in¬ 
troduction under a name. They are a bargain 
at our price. Altho mixed up we try to give as 
many sorts as possible. 35 assorted for $1.00 
post paid or 50 for $1.00 by express, charges 
collect. This does not mean C.O.D. Send the 
dollar with order and pay express charges. 
Beardless Iris. We have Stylosa that blooms 
December to spring, and Fimbrita blooming 
about February. The latter must have plenty 
of shade. The former prefers a little. 
Special Price. Either sort 15c each or $1.00 
per doz. They are usually $2.50 per doz. 
Iris reticulata. Violet scented. Color violet 
purple, yellow blotch. In form like a small 
Dutch or Spanish Iris. Blooms here outside in 
February. Hardy i'll east. Especially valuable 
for pots. The lovely fragrant flowers may be 
had at Christmas. Plant 4 or 5 to a 5 in. pot. 
30c ea. 
BULBOUS IRIS 
This section includes Dutch and Spanish Iris, 
which are practlcallythe samer The flowers are 
excellent for cutting, not being fragile like 
Bearded Iris. 
Culture. Plant in the fall. Early planting is 
advisable though we have planted as late as De¬ 
cember to February but after January 1 many 
bulbs have perished. Plant about 3 in. deep 
and 3 or 4 in. apart. We plant double rows in 
a furrow like glads. Plant in full sun or par¬ 
tial shade. They should be well watered. They 
are hardy in eastern states but a mulch is advis¬ 
able.
