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 winter window forcing. A leaflet of detailed cultural 
directions will be included with each lot sent out. By the 
way, some species make large bulbs, while other kinds are 
small. These sizes are fixed by nature, and do not in any 
way govern the size or effectiveness of the blossom. 
SPARAXIS BLEND—No better bulb for winter window (or 
conservatory) forcing than Sparaxis, for it flowers easily 
and surely if given any fair sort of chance to do so. To 
that, add beauty, and variety, of bloom ; big flowers, several 
open at once, in colorings brilliant and wide-ranging. Often 
the throat shows a contrasting hue, or there may be bright 
zonings. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00 ; 50 for $2.00. 
TRITONIA HYALINA—Exquisitely formed blossoms of 
sparkling half-translucent salmon pink. A delightful and 
rather easy winter bulb-flower is handled like Freesia. 3 for 
40c; 9 for $1.00. 
MOREA POLYSTACHYA—Thin wiry branches that carry 
blossoms like butterflies. The outer segments of the flowers 
are mauve, marked with Parma violet and with bright yel¬ 
low spot at base; inner segments clear soft lavender. For 
the sunny winter window. 3 for 40c; 9 for $1.00. 
OXALIS CERNUA—A bulb of easiest culture, and profuse 
and long-continued flowering if given full sun. The blos¬ 
soms, of a ’ rich golden hue, are carried in showy terminal 
clusters on long slender stems. Called sometimes, Bermuda 
Buttercup. 3 for 15c; 10 for 40c. 
TRITELEIA COERULEA—Blossoms of softest blue suffu¬ 
sion, varying to indigo, wide up-looking stars. For winter 
bloom it is even easier and surer than Sparaxis, and it 
flowers for a full two months. You will like it; everyone 
does. It’s winter-hardy, too, and you can save the bulbs if 
you wish, by planting them out in the garden in the spring. 
4 for 25c ; 9 for 50c; 20 for $1.00. 
THE BABY GLADIOLUS—A highly specialized strain, used 
altogether for pot culture or greenhouse forcing. The nat¬ 
ural flowering season of the Baby Gladioli is the winter 
months, and a pot of them in full bloom is a lovely and 
dainty thing. May be grown in any sunny window, but don’t 
try to rush them, and of course start them in a dark, cool 
place. The flowers are airy in form, each with a diamond¬ 
shaped marking on the lower petal, and shades and tones 
of orchid, salmon, rose, pink and crimson are in the blend, 
with white. 4 for 25c ; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
LACHENALIA RECTOR OF CAWSTON—In this fine hybrid 
Lachenalia, the pendulous blossoms of brilliant scarlet, 
tipped with citron, are carried in loose spikes. For pot 
culture only. If planted early, will flower as quickly and 
readily during the winter as will Freesia. Showy and un¬ 
usual. See illustration. 3 for 50c; 7 for $1.00. 
ORNITHOGALUM NEW WHITE DOUBLE—Flowers like 
Double Pearl Tuberoses. In bloom for months. Particularly 
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 ; 8 
for $1.00.
