Ranunculus 
8977 TeCOlote Giants The largest and most magnificent strain 
ever offered. Giant double and semi-double flowers, 3 in. or more 
across, are freely borne on strong stems 12 to 15 in. long. Our mixture 
contains a wonderful range of colors—yellows, from straw through all 
shades to deep golden yellow; reds, including dark crimson, scarlet, 
orange-red and all other shades of red; orange, pink, many ringed and 
tipped with a deeper color—in fact, every desired color is included. 
Do best in a shady location and in moderately rich soil. Fine for cut¬ 
ting. Not reliably hardy north of Washington, D. C., except in warm, 
sheltered locations. Splendid for growing in frames or pots. The 
roots resemble tiny clumps of Dahlias. Set them, claws downward, 
2 in. deep and 4 to 6 in. apart. If grown in pots, plant 6 to 8 roots in 
a 6-inch pot; cover roots with one inch of soil, and allow 2 inches of 
space between bulbs. 3 for ISfi; 12 for 55fi; 100 for $3.75. 
Brodlaea 
9497 Mixed Colors Neat plants with grassy basal leaves from 
which arise very slender stems bearing heads of showy little star¬ 
shaped waxy blooms in yellow, white, blue, lilac and purple. Grow 
15 to 20 in. high and bloom during May and June. Easily grown in 
almost any soil but prefer one that is light and porous, well drained 
and of a sandy or loamy nature. They delight in semi-shade and are 
lovely for the rock garden and do well under oak and deciduous trees. 
Plant bulbs 2 to 3 in. deep and protect in cold sections. May also be 
grown indoors in pots. 3 for 25fi; 12 for 70?!; 100 for $4.75.

ceived, 3 in. apart and 2 to 3 in. deep. Do best in well-drained, loamy 
or gritty soil, moist and rich in leaf mold. Provide a covering of 4 to 6 
inches of half-rotted leaves after bulbs are planted.
