ANEMONES 
(St. Brigid—Anderson Strain ) 
We have the pleasure of distributing the above-named strain, which 
is a distinct improvement on the types offered generally in commerce 
—not only in wider range of color but also much larger flowers, car- 
ried on stiff, strong stems. In warm regions Anemones can be had in 
bloom from November to end of March by planting from July to 
October. In colder regions early spring planting is preferable. 
PRICE OF COMPLETE MIXTURE .. . Large Tubers, $1.00 per 
dozen; $7.00 per 100. Medium size, 75c per dozen; $5.00 per 100. 
(Orders of six tubers supplied at dozen rate; orders of fifty tubers 
supplied at 100 rate. ) 
SEED ... Anemones can be grown easily from seed and will bloom 
four to five months after sowing. Sowing time in California, from 
May to October. In regions with cold winters, early spring only. 
PRICE .. . 50c per packet. 
FREESIAS 
We had no intention of introducing our strain of Freesias until the 
named seedlings were sufficiently propagated for distribution. How- 

NERINE 
Planting time August-September . . . This charming South 
African member of the Amaryllis family is little known in 
this country. The brilliant color and beautiful form of its 
flowers which are produced in umbels during September and 
October, combined with simplicity of culture will endear it 
to all gardeners who cherish the rare and beautiful. We have 
imported all the new hybrids existing presently in Europe, 
but as the stock is very scarce we offer only one variety in 
quantity at present. 
Nerine—Fothergilli Major . . . The king of all species. 
Brilliant orange scarlet with a gold-dust texture shimmering 
in sunlight. 
PRICE... Strong bulbs from June to September. $1.00 each; 
$10.00 per dozen. 
ever, as we grow some 100,000 seedlings annually, we are in a posi- 
tion to offer mixtures of individual colors which will far outrank the 
standard named varieties of today. Each generation brings higher 
development and the seedling bulbs we are offering will produce very 
large flowers on tall, stiff stems which will reach, under glass, a height 
of from 20 to 30 inches. The color range covers many new shades not 
previously seen in Freesias. Their size and taller growth makes them 
a desirable subject for cut flower purposes during winter months. 
Planting time, September-October. From July to October we offer a 
complete mixture from our finest selection, covering the entire range 
of colors so far developed. 
PRICE OF COMPLETE MIXTURE... Large bulbs, 75c per dozen; 
$5.00 per 100. Medium size, 50c per dozen; $3.00 per 100. (Orders 
of six tubers supplied at dozen rate; orders of fifty tubers supplied 
at 100 rate. ) 
SEED ... Freesias can be grown from seed and bloom within six 
months of their sowing. The seed is comparatively large and ger- 
minates after thirty days. By sowing at intervals from May to August, 
one can have flowers from November to the end of March. 
PRICE .. . 50c per packet of approximately 120 seeds; $7.50 per 
ounce, 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
SOIL... After receiving the bulbs, pot up in six-inch pots 
in a mixture of one-third coarse leafmold, one-third loam 
with a little addition of sand and bonemeal. Plant the bulbs so 
that the upper part is exposed out of the ground, press the soil 
down firmly and water well. Do not water again until signs of 
growth show but keep fairly moist from then on. 
GROWING CONDITIONS... Keep outdoors in full sun- 
light until danger of frost, then move either into the cool 
greenhouse or house where they will continue growing dur- 
ing the winter months. As soon as the weather permits, again 
take outdoors and by the end of May when the foliage gets 
yellow, dry off entirely. 
IMPORTANT ... Keep absolutely dry during the summer 
months as otherwise they would not produce flowers. By the 
first of September give a slight watering and when the buds 
begin to appear remove the upper part of the soil from the 
pot, taking care not to disturb the roots, and fill up with a 
new mixture of soil to which may be added either bonemeal 
or any complete commercial fertilizer. They will not need 
repotting and may be grown in the same pots for several years 
if they are given the dressing with rich soil each year. Their 
flowering period is September and October, after which the 
growth commences.
