LEUCOCORYNE should never be planted in 
flats, but in deep pots, in full sun, and given water 
from time of planting (October) 4 to 6 inches deep, 
in a soil mixture of medium loam and sand with 
about a third leaf mould (not oak). They must be 
grown DAMP, COOL (45 to 50 degrees) and 
SUNNY. 
All bulbs should be unpacked on arrival and 
properly stored until planting. 
PERSIMMONS 
We have been deeply gratified at the reception 
accorded to our superb giant Persimmons through 
the holiday season from the week before Thanksgiving 
through the New Year. Their vivid orange color and 
beautiful shape add greatly to holiday decorations, 
and as food their flavor is unsurpassed. They can be 
served chilled “as is” or in salad, ice cream, sherbet, 
pudding,—and their reaction is definitely alkaline. 
Recipes enclosed in each shipment. Individual fruits 
weigh from one-half to one pound. 
WE SHIP 6 LBS. ANYWHERE IN THE 
UNITED STATES, PREPAID FOR $1.00 
NOTE : Recent experiments show that Alstromeria 
pelegrina and its variety alba are exceptionally re¬ 
sponsive to forcing in pots and can be brought in for 
Easter bloom.
