BULBS FOR THE WINTER WINDOW 
It is not hard to force bulbs for winter flowers, and all 
of the kinds grouped under this heading are very suitable 
for this winter window forcing. Of course many of the 
hardy bulb6, Muscari, Narcissus, Triteleia in particular, 
are good for growing in pots during the winter, too. A 
leaflet of cultural instructions will be included with all 
shipments of winter-flowering bulbs sent out. Please read, 
and follow, carefully. Impatience k the chief cause of diffi¬ 
culty with this class of bulbs; too high temperatures, too 
rapid forcing. The more slowly that winter-flowering bulbs 
are brought into bloom, the longer they will last, and the 
finer will be the blooms. By the way, some species make 
large bulbs naturally, others very small ones. We expect 
to send out only full blooming size for the kind in each in¬ 
stance. See note at top of page 6, regarding amount to be 
added for postage. 
SPARAXIS BLEND—All these bulbs need is a sunny 
window in a cool room to yield a wealth of winter beauty. 
The flowers are large, several open at once, and the colors 
are exceedingly varied and most brilliant. Often the 
throat shows a contrasting hue, or there may be bright 
zonings. I like Sparaxis, and I rtiink everyone will that 
tries ft. 4 for 2Sc; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
NARCISSUS CHINESE SACRED LILY—Fragrant and 
clustered flowers; white perianths with golden cups. Quick, 
easy, satisfactory. May be grown in pebbles and water. 
Plant every three weeks to keep a succession. Each 10c; 
7 for 60c. 
I, AC HEN ALIA RECTOR OF CAWSTON—In this flue 
Hybrid Lachenalia, the pendulous blossoms of brilliant scar¬ 
let, tipped with citron, are carried in loose spikes. For pot 
culture only, flowering as quickly and easily during the 
winter as will Freesia. Showy, and unusual. 2 for 35c; 
6 for $1.00. 
ORNITHOGALUM NEW WHITE DOUBLE — Flowers 
like Double Pearl Tuberoses. In bloom for months. Par- 
ticularily long-lasting when cut. 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00. 
ORNITHOGALUM AUREUM — Golden Chinkerrichee. 
For quick and easy winter flowers, almost solid clusters of 
radiant golden-orange on long stems, lasting, each spike, 
for many months, try this new and still scarce species. You 
must see it to really appreciate it. Each 15c; 3 for 40c. 
ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM —The tender Star of 
Bethlehem, a really superb pot bulb for winter flowering. 
Large and airy clusters of pure white wide-open flowers, 
each with a shining black-green center. Not hardy ouiside, 
but very easily forced in a sunny window. The blossoms 
are highly attractive, delightfully perfumed, and last for 
many weeks. Do not confuse with the hardy Star of Beth¬ 
lehem, page 11. 3 for 25c; 7 for 50c; 15 for $1.00. 
BABIANA TRUE AZURE—The blossoms are bluer than 
indigo, a rich living blue that is hard to deseribe. Flowers 
easily and quickly in pots. Very lovely. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c.
