large, lily-shaped flowers, 8 to 12 in number, of a delicate 
lilac-pink shade. The bulb is perfectly hardy; must be planted

(Half-Hardy—Must Have Protection) 
These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly bril¬ 
liant when in flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be 
planted about 6 inches deep in a cool, moist but well drained 
soil. Will establish without any trouble and remain for years. 
For northern states we advocate early spring planting, for the 
southern section of the country, fall planting is best. Cover in 
winter with strawy manure. 
*St. Brigid $0.75 per 12; $5.50 per 100 
These are the popular Anemone so frequently seen in the 
florists' shops in the early spring. The flowers are unusually 
large, with a wide range of rich and brilliant colors. (Color 
illustration, page Q). 
*DeCaen $0.70 per 12; $5.25 per 100 
The plants are taller in growth than the St. Brigid and more 
single. They contain many fine shades of blue, white and 
scarlet. (Color illustration, page Q).

-Stricfo, Mixed Shades $0.60 per 12; $4.00 per 100 
The colors vary from gentian-blue to wine-purple. They 
reach a height of about 8 to 1 0 inches. For northern climates 
they should be grown like the Freesia for living room or 
conservatory decorations, but in mild climates they may be 
used in the rockery or border, where they make magnificent 
brilliant masses of color.

(Hardy—Give Light Protection) 
Small bulbs producing grassy leaves near the ground, and 
very slender but stiff naked stems bearing a head of waxy 
flowers of great lasting quality. Their culture is the same as 
for Narcissus and just as easy as for that flower. They are easily 
naturalized in almost any soil. Plant them about 3 inches deep 
and leave them alone. They are especially happy under oak and 
deciduous trees, in the rock garden, or in rough, gritty soils. 
*Mixed Varieties $0.60 per 12; $4.00 per 100 
This mixture contains the following colors: blue, red, yellow, 
white, and is good for naturalizing. Bulbs self-sow and 
increase quite rapidly. 
(Balia * 2(antedeschia 
Bulbs should be set with the crown, or top, protruding just 
above the surface. When in growing condition, warm water 
given several times during the week will hasten the flowering 
period and increase the number of blooms. Plant but one in a 
pot. We call especial attention to the Yellow Calla, which is 
one of the grandest varieties in cultivation, and most valuable 
for house or conservatory decoration. Plant Callas indoors in the 
late fall of the year. In April or May dormant bulbs may be 
planted near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower 
beautifully in August or September. 
Alba Maculata $2.05 per 12; $13.50 per 100 
The abundant spear-shaped leaves are spotted silvery white 
all over, reaching a height of 18 inches, and are produced 
abundantly. The white flowers are small and trumpet¬ 
shaped with crimson blotch at the base. Excellent near pool 
or in a bog garden. Plant outdoors in spring. 
*Ellioffiana (Yellow Calla) $3.25 per 12; $22.50 per 100 
One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden 
yellow flowers are truly magnificent and produced in abun¬ 
dance. The green foliage is spotted white, which adds to its 
beauty; lovely house plant as well as garden subject. (Color 
illustration, page S). 
-Godfrey (White Calla) $2.75 per 12; $18.00 per 100 
Most ornamental foliage if grown near pool where it will 
get plenty of water; an excellent, easily grown house plant. 
Rehmanni $0.60 each; $6.25 per 12 
The pink or rose Calla. A rather uncommon species native of 
Natal. The flowers are small but pink and therefore most 
unusual. An uncommon plant for the greenhouse or indoor 
culture.

tions better or give a more attractive bloom. They are hordy 
without protection, and thrive either under ordinary garden con¬ 
ditions or when naturalized in open, moist woods or in not too 
dense a grassy growth. The flower stems are 3 to 4 feet high

inches across and flowering in long succession.
