Amaryllis 
Amaryllis (Ready in October) 
Giant American Hybrids 
We believe our famous Giant American Hybrids to be the finest 
race of Amaryllis in cultivation. The enormous flowers are of fine form, 
and come in a great diversity of colors. They make fine pot-plants for 
store sales, and sell on sight when in bloom, at a good price. We offer 
mixed colors only. Doz., $4.00; 100, $30.00. 
Fancy-Leaved Caladiums 
We list only choice named and newer sorts, including Brazilian types. 
They cover a wide range of bright colorings and markings too difficult 
to describe. For summer store decoration or as pot-plants, we know of 
nothing finer. Start bulbs in damp moss with plenty of bottom heat and 
an occasional dampening. Do not allow them to get chilled, and at all 
times grow them in a warm, shaded place. 
Extra-Fancy Highly Colored Named Varieties. Doz. $2.00; 
$13.00; 1000, $125.00. 
Mixed Varieties. An assortment especially blended for us.

Profit- Providing Bulbs for Florists 
Montbretias, Giant-flowering Varieties 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting, and 
excellent for border planting. They prefer a light loamy soil, well enriched 
with Jeaf-mould, but no manure or chemical fertilizer phould touch the 
roots; a little bonemeal and a light top-dressing of lime should prove 
beneucials They will thrive either in partial shade or full sunlight, but 
see that the moisture supply is good at all times. Moz 100
