Selected Top-Size Bulbs 
These beautiful novelties are rapidly winning favor for their 
lovely and unique colorings. Very fragrant and free flowering. 
Achievement. Very dark golden yellow flowers with dark orange 
blotch in throat. It looks quite like Tangerine, but is much 
better because it has the vigor and healthy growth that Tan¬ 
gerine lacks and is an extremely good color. $1.10 per doz • 
$7.50 per 100. 
Apotheose. A giant lavender-pink of waxy substance on long, 
strong stem. Vigorous grower. Excellent lasting qualities. $1.10 
per doz.; $7.50 per 1 00. 
Flo. The flowers are usually characterized as being "clear blue" 
in color, however, it is more accurate to describe them as "clear 
lavender-violet". The flowers are very large and all six petals 
are very similar in size and color. Each petal is broad, round- 
tipped, light at the throat and deepening in color toward the 
margins. The broad open face of the flower with its pleasing 
graduation in color gives an impression of an even greater size 
than actually exists. "Flo" lacks the dinginess so characteristic 
of lavender Freesias. Its color is distinct but not too deep to be 
lively and attractive. Vigorous and upright in growth with long, 
wiry stems. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Golden Daffodil. Large, deep golden yellow flowers of great sub¬ 
stance; long, wiry stems. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Golden Treasure. New giant yellow Freesia of great merit. Edges 
of petals flushed lavender. Flowers very large; exceptionally 
strong grower. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Mio Marvin. A gigantic Freesia, soft canary-yellow with a heavy 
blotch of deep orange on the lower lip, which makes a very at¬ 
tractive combination. The spray is of great size, and the large, 
open blossoms are held aloft on long, wiry stems. Without doubt 
the finest light yellow Freesia so far introduced. $1.10 per doz.; 
$7.50 per 100. 
Mrs. More Peters. Very attractive deep rosy salmon, with lower 
petals blotched orange and yellow. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 1 00. 
Miss Blanche Blue. (Plant Patent No. 98). Fine deep bluish lav¬ 
ender. No variety in this color on the market today compares 
with it in size of flower, length of stem, clearness of color, 
earliness, and freedom of growth. Awarded Gold Medal at the 
National Flower Show. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Orchidea. This beautiful flower is lovely pearly mauve or orchid 
color, with a soft yellow throat, quite distinct from that of any 
other Freesia. The bloom is large and petals open widely. Stems 
tall and strong. A real addition to this group of flowers. $1.75 
per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
Rosy Morn. Rosy pink, suffused with gold at base of petals. Very 
early. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 1 00. 
Red Riding Hood. (Patent applied for). Entirely new and distinct 
color in Freesias—blood-red, with cadmium-yellow throat lined 
with blood-red. Under average greenhouse conditions it will 
grow to a height of 33 inches; the growth is upright, stems rigid, 
and each bulb produces from 3 to 4 laterals, which lengthens 
the season considerably. $1.20 per doz.; $8.50 per 100. 
Ruth Chatterton. (Plant Patent No. 128). The color is distinctly 
new to Freesias—the upper portion of the petals both inside and 
outside, is Tyrian rose, shading down to Tyrian pink; shot with 
delicate streaks of cadmium-yellow, becoming solid yellow down 
into the perianth. The flowers and sprays are gigantic, four to 
five flowers open at one time, supported by long, heavy stems 
with two and three long laterals. 90c per doz.; $6.50 per 100. 
Sunset. An entirely new color in Freesias—flame-orange. A won¬ 
derful flower. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Tecolote Hybrids 
A very beautiful new strain of Baby Gladiolus. Early flowering. 
The strong stems carry dainty flowers with the characteristic 
diamond-shaped markings on the lower petals. Separate colors: 
Lavender-Orchid, Salmon, Rose, Scarlet, Orange. 85c per doz ; 
$6.00 per 100.

A most interesting species; flowers creamy white, borne on long, 
wiry stems. Sweet scented. $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

gorgeous beauty. Desirable for pots. Mixture of best named varieties.

flowers with white centers and golden stamens, carried gracefully 
on a wiry stem 1 to 1 Yz feet tall. Requires same culture as 
Freesias. Its beauty and long-lasting qualities as a cut flower 
and its ease of culture make it an outstanding new plant. $2.25 
per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
