Tuberoses 
MEXICAN EVEBBLOOMINQ- —The most 
fragrant of all Tuberoses and a won¬ 
derful bloomer. Flowers are pure white 
and clustered from six to a dozen on 
stiff stems, making them excellent for 
cut flowers. The bulbs of these multiply 
from year to year, producing great 
masses which should be separated and 
transplanted every three years. They are 
very hardy and will grow and bloom 
in the hottest weather. A dozen bulbs 
will plant a row 6 feet long. Each, 10c; 
dozen, 50c.

tions and if cut down by frost will come

vine in the Salt River Valley and similar 
climates. Strong 4-year-old roots. Each, 
50c; postpaid in the Ist, 2nd and 3rd

White Calla Lily

plant and also excellent for outdoor cul¬ 
ture. If grown out of doors plant in a 
partially shaded location. Bulbs should 
be taken up every third or fourth year 
and separated. When dug, dry thoroughly 
and transplant. In the colder climates 
bulbs should be taken up for the Winter.

Ranunculus— 
Giant "Tecolote" 
A more wonderful display of 
color cannot be pictured than a 
mass of Ranunculus in full blos¬ 
som and we know of no other 
bulb that will give the profusion 
of blooms for the amount of 
money expended. The large glo¬ 
bular flowers 2 and 3 inches 
across carry a wide range of 
bright shades including crimson, 
orange, pink, yellow and white, 
with some striped and variegated 
borne on strong stems 8 to 18 
inches in length. A most gor¬ 
geous effect in beds and borders, 
while as cut flowers they are 
very satisfactory, keeping fresh 
in water for a long time. Once 
grown you will never be without 
them. 
Culture —In warm climates. Ranuncu¬ 
lus may be planted in early Fall for 
Winter bloom and from that time in 
succession until Spring. In colder cli¬ 
mates where the ground freezes, the 
bulbs should be planted when the frost 
is well out of the ground and danger 
of heavy freezing is past, or started in 
hot beds and transplanted. For pot grown 
Winter flowers, plant early in Fall, wa¬ 
ter thoroughly and plunge in ashes or 
sand until sprouted. 
The bulbs resemble tiny clumps with 
finger-like projections which should be 
planted pointed down. Cover bulbs from 
1 to 2 Inches deep. 4 to 6 inches apart, 
and if soil is at all heavy, cover with 
sand in order that leaves will push 
through readily without heaving the 
soil. A rich under-soil is desirable, but 
use no fresh fertilizer around the bulb. 
Plant in a partly shaded location, par¬ 
ticularly if grown for blooming in late 
Spring or early Summer, otherwise if 
planted in locations like the Phoenix, 
Arizona valley during the Fall months 
plant in a sunny, open location. An abun¬ 
dance of water and good drainage is es¬ 
sential. After foliage has “ripened off” 
lift bulbs and store in a cool dry location 
where they will not dry too rapidly, and 
if in a cold section, where they will not 
freeze.
