recent years there has been great improvement as to color and size of this wonderful 
flower, so in compiling our list, great care has been taken to select the best varieties in each 
color. Their long flowering season and stately habit together with their great variety of 
color and adaptability for all decorative purposes, command for them a prominent position 
in every garden. Those who wish to have an exhibition collection will do well to select 
from our list those varieties which are printed in capitals. A succession of bloom may be 
had by planting the bulbs at intervals of two weeks from April 15th to July 15th. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which is 
absolutely essential for producing exhibition flowers.
