BULB FLOWERS 
For Spring Planting 
PLEASE NOTE—Bulbs are not post-paid. If wanted by 
mail, add 5% east of Pittsburgh and north of Potomac, 
10% beyond to the Mississippi, and 15% for destinations 
further west, to cover packing and postage. If no such 
allowance is made, I shall understand that shipment by col¬ 
lect express is desired. I guarantee safe arrival and freedom 
from freezing in transit, when shipping date is left to my 
option. 
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS desiring bulbs, will 
please apply to the Commissioner of Agriculture at 
Ottawa for the necessary permits and tags, before 
ordering. 
AMARYLLIS FORMOSISSIMA—Garden Amaryllis. Large 
and fantastic flowers of richest crimson with golden glints. 
Blooms splendidly, and quickly, in the garden, or may be 
forced. As easy as Gladiolus, and handled altogether in 
same way. See illustration, page 9. 2 for 35c; 7 for $1.00; 
25 for $3.25. 
MILLA BIFLORA—The desirable White Star Lily. See 
description on page 28, and illustration on page 31. Rare. 
Gladiolus culture. 60c each; 3 for $1.50. 
GLORIOSA ROTHSCHILDIANA—Glory Lily. Big blos¬ 
soms of gorgeous ruby, gold-margined. Will bloom freely 
in garden, or may be forced. See description on page 19. 
Good tubers. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
ACIDANTHERA BICOLOR—Pretty Ethiopian rarity, easy 
if handled just like Gladiolus. Lovely and graceful cream- 
colored blossoms, chocolate blotched. Long in bloom. Two 
feet. Each 25c; 3 for 65c. 
HYMENOCALLIS SPECIES—White chalice-flowers, rag¬ 
ged edged and fragrant. Excellent for cutting or garden 
decoration. Likely more than one species here, but all 
good. Gladiolus culture. 3 for 25c; 9 for $1.00. 
MONTBRETIA BLEND—It will give border clumps of 
flaming gorgeous coloring in continuous and profuse show¬ 
ing from mid-summer to latest autumn. Nothing brighter. 
This mixture has varied shades of yellow, salmon, orange 
and scarlet. Do not let bulbs dry out before planting. 
They can be put in as early as the ground can be worked. 
Almost hardy, but safest way is to dig bulbs in fall, and 
store over winter, packed in sand or soil, in the cellar. 
3 for 25c; 10 for 70c; 25 for $1.50. 
HYACINTIIUS CANDICANS-—Giant Summer Hyacinth. 
Stately four-foot spikes of pendant, creamy bells. Gladiolus 
culture. Illustrated, page 31. 3 for 25c; 10 for 75c. 
CRINUM LONGI FOLIUM—A beautiful and interesting 
flowering bulb of the Amaryllis family, with y/ide, arching, 
ribbon-like leaves two to three feet long, giving an exotic 
and tropical effect. In early summer robust flower-stalks 
appear, each crowned with a cluster of thick waxen trum¬ 
pets, white or palest blush, shading to deep rosy pink. Lasts 
a long time in blossom, and sometimes flowers again in au¬ 
tumn. Seems to be fully winter-hardy at Philadelphia and 
New York, if mulched with litter, but to be on the side of 
safety, better plant deeply in a not overly exposed location. 
In colder areas planting in cold frame might be good in¬ 
surance, or the bulbs may be dug in late autumn, and stored 
in dry sand or soil in cellar over winter. Big, flowering- 
size, bulbs. Each 65c; 2 for $1.25; 5 for $3.00. 
CINNAMON VINE — Quick-growing and handsome glossy- 
leaved vine. Roots fully winter hardy, and permanent. 
Particularly effective on fence or trellis. 3 for 25c; 1G 
for 70c. 
PANCRATIUM ILLYRICUM—Chalice blossoms of purest 
whiteness, with long, ribbon-like guard petals. The flowers 
are carried in umbel-clusters on twenty-inch stems, and 
about them there is a suggestion of perfume-haunted 
breezes from orange groves of some brighter sun-land. June 
and July. Store bulbs in winter. Each 40c; 4 for $1.50. 
TIGKIDIA BLEND—The lovely and varied Shell-flowers. 
See Treasure Chest for full description. Exceedingly showy. 
While variations of red, orange and yellow will dominate, 
there will be a proportion of pink and rose, with even oc¬ 
casional white or lavender. Plant bulbs as soon as possible 
after receiving them. 2 for 25c; 6 for 65c; 10 for $1.00; 
25 for $2.25. 
TUBEROSE EARLY MEXICAN-—Flowers that seem 
carved from white wax. Orange blossom perfume. Fine

THE EXQUISITE FAIRY LILIES 
Dainty and charming flowers over a long season, with 
easiest cultural habits, mark this group of closely related 
bulbs. Delightful in the garden, but will do wonderfully, 
too, in pots or window boxes. They bloom profusely after 
each shower. Water well in drought. Store bulbs in winter, 
as you would those of Gladiolus. 
COOPERIA PEDUNCULATA-Evening Star. Richly per¬ 
fumed flowers of pink-tinged white, all summer. Long stems 
Illustrated, page 9. 3 for 35c; 9 for $1.00; 25 for $2.50.

each shower from June to November. 2 for 25c; 5 for 50c; 
11 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00.

of bloom. 4 for 35c; 12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.85.

soms of snowy whiteness, from August on. Rich green

100 for $5.00. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY 
Everyone knows this lovely perfumed flower, with its droop¬ 
ing bells of dainty waxen whiteness. It is hardy, increases 
rapidly when once it feels at home, and really prefer# those 
shady corners (if the soil be not dry and baked) where it 
is hard to get other things to grow. Try it on the north 
side of the house, or colonize it where shrubbery arches. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY WHITE BELLS—Charming 
white bells, pendant in graceful sprays. Sturdy individua. 
pips, field grown. 10 for 40c; 30 for $1.00; 100 for $2.65. 
LILY OF THE VALLEY PINK BELLS—In this truly 
rare variety, the blossoms are suffused with pink. Gooc 
pips, 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00. 
OXALIS FOR THE GARDEN 
There is an elfin daintiness about the exquisitely formed 
blossoms of Oxalis, and an unrestrained prodigality of 
colorful blooming, that gives them an appeal beyond that 
of many a more ambitious flower. Beside their value for 
edgings, to which, by the way, the rich beauty of their lush 
foliage recommends them, as well as their spendthrift flow¬ 
ering, they are particularly intriguing when clumped in 
the rock garden. Then those who like bedding effects will 
likewise find them surprisingly good material. They are in 
flower for months, practically ever-blooming. This is a 
mixture of four color varieties, deep pink, old rose, white 
and violet. It should be noted that there will be much 
variation in size of bulb, since certain of the kinds make 
naturally large bulbs, and others small. They all fit well 
together, though, at flowering time. The bulbs may be dug 
in fall, and stored over winter, Gladiolus fashion; or the cost 
is so low that you may prefer not to bother with digging, 
but instead, simply to procure a fresh supply each season. 
10 for 25c; 25 for 50c; 60 for $1.00; 100 for $1.50. 
OXALIS LATIFQLIA — Rather rare summer-flowering 
Oxalis, of high merit for edgings, rock gardens, bedding or 
window boxes. Ever-blooming. Clover-like foliage. Pretty 
blossoms of violet-lavender in great profusion. 8 for 25c; 
20 for 50c; 50 for $1.00. 
OXALIS DIEPPI ALBA — Another excellent summer 
Oxalis, this time with flowers of diaphanous white. 10 for 
25c; 25 for 50c; 60 for $1.00
