O Brodiaeas are Californian 
bulbous flowers than which 
the world offers few finer. 
Hardy, as easy to grow as 
Tulips, they thrive in poorest 
soils. All are most lasting, both 
in the garden and as cut 
flowers. 
You will find those pictured 
together with many more 
equally as fine, described on 
page 4.

9 Brodiaeas are among the loveliest of cut flowers and they are 
among the most lasting of all cut flowers. They are most 
charming when placed in little colonies either in sun or light 
shade of deciduous trees and in little pockets in the rock 
garden. They must have good drainage but thrive in even the 
poorest of soil.
