Hardy Bulbs, Tubers and Corms 
We urge that these bulbs, tubers and corms be planted in fall while they are 
dormant. It is possible, however, to obtain pot-grown plants of some items in 
early spring, while others, such as the hardy Cyclamen and Oxalis adenophylla 
may be moved almost any time. 
ACIDANTHERA bicolor murielae — Corms 
collected in Western Abyssinia, at alti¬ 
tude of 6000 feet. Gladiolus-like foliage, 
stout spikes bearing several large fra¬ 
grant, white flowers, with conspicuous 
blackish-crimson center. For sunny posi¬ 
tion in sandy loam, lifting corms late 
autumn and setting out in early spring. 
$1.00 each. 
ALSTROEMERIA — Commonly known as 
Peruvian Lilies, although many of them 
come from Chile and Brazil. Easy to 
grow in a well-drained, sunny position. 
Plant from Oct. to March with the top 
6 inches below the surface. Protect with 
a straw mulch during the first winter. 
All are excellent cutflowers. 
aurantiaca lutea —Bright yellow flowers, 
spotted red, in umbels on 3 ft. stems. 35c 
each. 
aurantiaca rubra —Flowers more brownish 
red. A fine companion to the preceding. 
Both forms are fine subjects to plant 
with Delphiniums. 35c each, 
chilensis —While a hybrid, our strain is 
very true to color, a nice shade of pink, 
with light markings of orange yellow and 
perhaps some crimson. 3 ft. 35c each, 
pulchella —A real novelty, attracting much 
attention wherever shown. The flowers 
are a bright crimson, tipped and splash¬ 
ed green, with small mahogany dots, 2 
to 3 ft. stems. June to Aug. 35c each. 
ANEMONE —These should be planted in fall, 
Sept, to Dec., although apennina and 
blanda may be set out in growth if pot 
grown, and St. Bavo, St. Brigid and ful- 
gens out of field even if in bloom. 
*fulgens —Vivid scarlet flowers on 12 to 18 
inch stems from April to June. 50c each. 
Dormant bulbs in Fall, 35c each. 
*blanda — Neater, dwarfer and fleshier 
leaved than apennina, with larger flow¬ 
ers in shades of blue. Should be given 
the choicest spot at edge of dwarf shrubs. 
50c each. Dormant tubers in Fall. 35c 
each. 
Single Anemone de Caen 
*St. Bavo— Allied to A. fulgens, but with a 
wide range of colors, from scarlet 
through pink to lilac, blue and white, all 
with a silvery white center, on 12 to 15 
inch stems. Dormant bulbs in Fall. 35c 
each. 
*St. Brigid— The old favorite in a super¬ 
fine mixture of colors. 25c each. Dor¬ 
mant bulbs in Fall. 10c each.
