Selected Top-Size Bulbs

Two Beautiful New Freesias 
Color Illustration on page 42 
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 up¬ 
right in growth with long, wiry stems. $1 .75 per doz.; $1 2.00 
per 1 00. 
Golden Giant. The finest yellow Freesia introduced to date. Ex¬ 
hibited by us at both the New York and Philadelphia Spring 
Flower Shows. The color is a "Pernet" yellow without a trace 
of lavender, a tall upright grower, stems wiry, large wide open 
rounded petal flowers. An outstanding feature of Golden 
Giant is its ability to stand the effects of sunshine. The intens¬ 
ity of the sunlight on bright days plays havoc with Freesia 
blooms, however, this variety "can take it". Prefers to be 
grown cool, will follow Golden Daffodil. Supply limited. Can 
be procured only from Hosea Waterer. $2.25 per doz.; 
$1 5.00 per 1 00. 
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. 
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 1 00. 
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. $1.50 
per doz.; $1 0.00 per 1 00. 
Rosy Morn. Rosy pink, suffused with gold at base of petals. Very 
early. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Sunset. An entirely new color in Freesias—flame-orange. A won¬ 
derful flower. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Ixias 
The Ixia is a beautiful little winter-flowering bulb, with long, 
slender, graceful spikes of bloom. Its colors are rich, varied, and 
beautiful, the center always differing in color from the other parts 
of the flower, so that the expanding blossoms present a picture of 
gorgeous beauty. Desirable for pots. Mixture of best named varie¬ 
ties. 
Extra-Large Jumbo Bulbs. 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 
Gladiolus, Early-Flowering 
These Baby Gladiolus are extensively used for winter forcing, 
can be forced by the end of March, and come in very useful when 
most bulbs have gone. Noted for their lasting qualities. 
Colvillei 
Slender stems and dainty, orchid-like flowers. 
Nymph. Sprays of large, wide open white flowers with crimson 
markings. Very beautiful. 
Peach Blossom. Lovely soft pink.

85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Spicy (Fragrant) 
A new variety similar to Tristis type with wiry stems and 
closely spaced flowers. The color is lavender with a cream-yellow 
throat. The main characteristic is its most delightful spicy fra¬ 
grance. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Tristis Concolor 
A most interesting species; flowers creamy white, borne on long, 
wiry stems. Sweet scented. $1 .50 per doz.; $1 0.00 per 1 00. 
Leucocoryne 
Ixioides odorata (Glory-of-the-Sun) . Recent introduction from 
Chile. Blooms in late winter. Heads of large, fragrant, light blue 
flowers with whi+e centers and golden stamens, carried gracefully 
on a wiry stem 1 to 1 Vi 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 outstandinq new plant.
