CYRTANTHUS LUTESCENS—The Ifafa Lily of South 
Africa, though it is really an Amaryllis variant rather 
than a Lily. The flowers are tubular, flaring to trumpets, 
not large, but the glossy golden coloring is so intense, the 
fragrance so sweet, the whole carriage of plant and blos¬ 
som so gracefully attractive that we are certain Cyrtanthus 
will be one of the desired of winter window bulbs as soon 
as more have opportunity to know it. It is an early forcer, 
coming quickly into bloom. Each 25c; 3 for 65c; 10 for 
$1.95. 
BABIANA TRUE AZURE—The blossoms are bluer than 
indigo, a rich living blue that is hard to describe but easy 
to delight in. Flowers are carried in spray-clusters over 
plaited leaves. As easy as Freesia, same handling. 4 for 
25c ; 10 for 60c. 
BABIANA NEW HYBRIDS—New strain. Flowers that 
may be blue of Gentian, lilac, lavender, indigo, violet, 
cream, white, carmine or crimson. Rather easy for winter 
bloom, and more than lovely. Mixed only. 4 for 25c: 
10 for 60c. 
LACHENALIA RECTOR OF CAWSTON—Think of a Hya¬ 
cinth gone informal, loosely swung long-tubed flowers of 
brilliant scarlet, tipped with citron. Illustrated page 11. 
Get the bulbs early, pot them up at once, and if it is quite 
possible to have them in bloom by Christmas. We can 
supply them until late October, but those sent out toward 
the end of the season will not bloom until late in the 
winter. Pot them up firmly. 2 for 35c; 6 for $1.00. 
THE BABY GLADIOLUS—A highly specialized strain, used 
altogether for pot culture or greenhotise forcing. The nat¬ 
ural flowering season of the Baby Gladioli is the winter 
months, and a not of them in full bloom is a lovely and 
dainty thing. May be grown in any sunny window, but 
don’t try to rush them, and of course start them in a dark, 
cool place. The flowers are airy in form, each with a 
diamond-shaned marking on the lower petal, and shades and 
tones of orchid, salmon, rose, pink and crimson are in the 
blend, with white. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00. 
MOREA POLYSTACHYA—This is very much a favorite of 
ours, for either a late autumn garden showing, or as a 
not bulb that responds rather readily to gentle winter forc¬ 
ing. The blossoms, carried on tbin wiry stems in big onen 
sprays, are shaded like butterflies, soft mauve, marked 
with rich, dark Parma violet, and with bright yellow inset 
at base. The inner segments are pure lavender. 3 for 40c ; 
9 for $1.00. 
TRITONIA CROCATA MIXED—Exquisite tones of spark¬ 
ling pink, soft salmon, apricot, flaming orange and scarlet. 
Blossoms of satiny sheen, carried in graceful sprays. As 
easy to bring in bloom as Freesia, and needs the same 
handling. It is, too, quite as lovely as Freesia, but in a 
blossom form and color range quite different. 4 for 25c; 
10 for 60c; 22 for $1.00. 
SPARAXIS BLEND—The illustration, page 11, shows the 
form of flower, big blossoms, well-carried, several open at 
once. Colorings are brilliant and widely inclusive, laven¬ 
der, lilac, cream, yellow, salmon, orange and scarlet, often 
contrastingly zoned. Forced slowly, it is a sure and hand¬ 
some plant for late winter flowers. Keep it relatively cool. 
4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 22 for $1.00 ; 50 for $2.00. 
MONARCH OF THE EAST — Sauromatum venosum. It 
blooms from the dry tuber, see illustration, page 14. In 
late February or March place the tubers in an east or 
north window, just the unplanted tuber without soil or 
water. Soon great flower-spathes will unfold, these of rose- 
tinted. purple-streaked ivory. After blooming the tubers 
should be planted in the garden, to give there exotic summer 
effects of marbled and oddly digitate foliage. Tubers, each 
75c; 2 for $1.36. 
FREESIA RAINBOW BLEND—Everyone knows how lovely 
Freesias can be, how easy it is to have them in bloom in 
every winter window. Be sure to plant them liberally. 
This is a splendid large-flowered strain. Beside the wax- 
trumpeted snowy whites, there will be pink, rose, lilac, 
lavender, carmine shadings, soft yellow, golden, blue, violet 
and the like, in shadings, suffusions and gradations of tone 
beyond anyone’s telling. Sweetly perfumed. 7 for 25c; 
15 for 60c; 60 for $1.50.
