Giant-Flowering Colored Freesias 
Selected Top-Size Bulbs 
These beautiful novelties are rapidly winning favor for their 
lovely and unique colorings. Very fragrant and free-flowering. 
Flo. Very large flowers of clear lavender-violet. Each petal is 
broad, round-tipped, light in the throat and deepening in color 
toward the margins. The broad open face of the flower creates 
an impression of greater size than actually exists. Its color is 
distinct but not too deep to be lively and attractive. Vigorous 
and upright in growth with long, wiry stems. $1.10 per doz.; 
$750) per 100: 
Golden Daffodil. Large, deep golden yellow flowers of great sub- 
stance; long, wiry stems. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Golden Giant. The finest yellow Freesia introduced to date. Ex- 
hibited by us at both the New York and Philadelphia Spring 
Flower Shows. The color is a ‘’Pernet’’ yellow without a trace 
of lavender, a tall upright grower, stems wiry, large wide open 
rounded-petal flowers. An outstanding feature of Golden 
Giant is its ability to stand the effects of sunshine. The intens- 
ity of the sunlight on bright days plays havoc with Freesia 
blooms, however, this variety ‘‘can take it’’. Prefers to be 
grown cool, will follow Golden Daffodil. Supply limited. Can 
be procured only from Hosea Waterer. $2.25 per doz.; 
$15.00 per 100. 
Maryon, (Plant Patent No. 32.) Beautiful clear violet-blue with

wiry stems. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Miss Blanche Blue. (Plant Patent No. 98.) Fine deep bluish lav- 
ender. No variety in this color on the market today compares 
with it in size of flower, length of stem, clearness of color, 
earliness, and freedom of growth. Awarded Gold Medal at the 
National Flower Show. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Mrs. Mare Peters. Very attractive deep rosy salmon, with lower 
petals blotched orange and yellow. 85c per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 
Snowstorm. White, with a faint bluish sheen reminding one of 
fresh snow. The flowers are extremely large with broad, open 
petals. Early and vigorous, with 3 to 5 flowers open at one time 
on long, wiry stems. $2.25 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

derful flower. $1.10 per doz.; $7.50 per 100.
