12 Plant Mertensias with Daffodils 
MM CCC OC 
FREESIAS 
For growing indoors Not hardy 
These colorful, fragrant blooms are really among the most attractive of Winter 
flowers. Large numbers are grown annually in greenhouse establishments, but they 
will also do very well if grown in the sunny windows of a cool room or sun parlor. 
It is impossible, however, to grow them in the warm temperature of the average 
living room. 
Plant about six bulbs in a 6-inch pot. Use a light, moderately rich, fibrous soil. 
Water generously immediately after planting and then less freely until the plants are 
well started. Plenty of water and sunshine are required as they approach flowering. 
Golden Daffodil. A very attractive shade of golden yellow. 
55 cts. for 10, $1.30 for 25, $5.10 for 100 
Maryon. Clear blue. One of the finest blues in existence. 
$1.55 for 10, $3.70 for 25, $14.00 for 100 
Purity. A large, pure white Freesia. Popular florist variety. Jumbo Bulbs. 
55 cts. for 10, $1.30 for 25, $5.10 for 100 
Snowstorm. Gigantic blooms of the purest white. The finest Freesia in existence. 
$1.55 for 10, $8.70 for 25, $14.00 for 100 
GLADIOLUS—“ The Baby Type”’ 
For growing indoors Not hardy 
Charming blooms with an exquisite, fragrant daintiness. The miniature ‘“‘Glads”’ 
will not adapt themselves to growing outdoors during the Summer months, but they 
are excellent when grown indoors in a moderate temperature, to bloom during the 
late Winter months. They should be grown in the same manner as Freesias, and one 
should never attempt to raise them in the modern living room atmosphere. 
Blushing Bride. White, carmine blotch. 65 cts. for 10, $1.55 for 25, $5.95 for 100 
Peach Blossom. An exquisite shade of peach-pink. 
65 cts. for 10, $1.55 for 25, $5.95 for 100 
Spitfire. Brilliant salmon with claret blotch. 
65 cts. for 10, $1.55 for 25, $5.95 for 100 
Tristis Supreme. Creamy white with delightful Carnation-like fragrance. 
$1.55 for 10, $3.70 for 25, $14.00 for 100 
New Hybrids Mixed. A well-blended mixture of new and interesting shades. 
85 cts. for 10, $2.00 for 25, $7.70 for 100 
HYACINTHS 
Tardy bulbs For growing indoors or out 
Because of their beauty and fragrance, and because they bloom at the same time 
and combine so charmingly with Daffodils, Hyacinths should play a part in every 
Spring garden. They are also hard to beat as pot plants for house decoration during 
the Winter months. 
For out-of-door growing, Hyacinths may be planted in any reasonably good garden 
soil, but a well-drained location is always desirable. Set the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart, 
with their tops at least 4 inches below the surface. After the first hard freeze, cover 
the bed with a light application of some such material as Salt Marsh Hay. 
Our English-grown stock consists of five colors only and the bulbs, although not 
as large as the Giant Hyacinths of former years will give results that will be more 
than satisfactory.
