Tigridias (Tiger or Shell Flowers). These showy plants have become more pop¬

large, triangular and upright, the centers brightly variegated by a contrasting 
shade to the petals. Each flower lasts but a day but several are produced by each 
stem, usually one at a time. Plant in spring (April or May) in a sunny spot about 
4 inches deep. In very cold climates, the bulbs should be lifted and stored in dry 
peat or sand over winter. We offer the bulbs in separate colors of yellow or red 
or mixed if you prefer. 3 bulbs for 50c, $1.70 per dozen. $12.50 per 100. 
LILIES FROM SEED 
Many lilies may be successfully grown from seed sown outdoors in well 
prepared beds. However, it is quicker and easier, especially with small lots, 
if the seed is sown in flats or ground beds in a cool greenhouse or frame. The 
easy germinating species are best sown in early spring and the slower kinds in 
the summer or early fall for germination the following spring. Provide shade 
during the summer by the use of lath covers which may replace the cold frame 
sash during the summer months. One-half inch is sufficiently deep to sow the 
seed when protection is offered from heavy rains. The seedlings may be potted 
off when the first true leaf appears or allowed to grow on in the frames until 
one year old when they may be set out into nursery rows in the open ground. 
Use care in transplanting so that the delicate young roots are not broken. We 
offer 1937 crop seed of the following species in liberal packets at 
25 cents per packet—12 packets for $2.50
