FOREWORD 
For several years we have been collecting and 
testing scarce and little known bulbous plants from 
both hemispheres and from every continent and have 
sent out annually a selected list of those varieties 
which we were willing to offer on their merits. The 
lists have been received with interest and the material 
delivered in response to orders has aroused favorable 
comment. We are therefore handing you this, our 
sixth list, which contains several new items, with 
greater confidence in our unusual and attractive stock 
than we have felt before. 
All of our bulbs have been grown under ideal 
soil and climatic conditions and have received careful 
and expert cultivation. We sell only Grade A bulbs. 
Wherever our flowers have been exhibited their 
novelty and beauty have so interested the public that 
a rapidly increasing demand for our maierial has 
been aroused among garden lovers. 
In reading our suggestions as to culture, use, 
hardiness, etc., it should be remembered that, unless 
otherwise definitely stated, we refer to climatic con¬ 
ditions similar to those of Southern California. 
This year, as heretofore, our stock of some varieties 
is verv limited. The demand for a number of items 
has increased more rapidly than our stock and in 
consequence we are obliged to withdraw them entirely 
from the market this year. As to some other items our 
available stock will doubtless, as in previous years, be 
inadequate to supply the demand, so we suggest 
booking your orders as early as possible. We will 
gladly furnish any additional information you may 
wish, and welcome inquiries as to anything not in¬ 
cluded in this year’s list. 
Except where noted in the text, delivery is made 
from July to September. 
Although SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS 
SHOULD BE DELIVERED IN AUGUST, they 
may be ordered at any time before that. Since many 
items are replanted in September they are no longer 
available for that season, so please ORDER EARLY 
TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT. 
We sell 50 bulbs at the hundred rate. PRICES 
INCLUDE POSTAGE on orders amounting to $2.50 
or more, except for clumps and the larger Amaryllids
