(TIGRIDIA PAV. GRAND) 
TIGER 
FLOWER 
From our "Good Neighbor'’ to the South comes 
the Sacred Flower of the Ancient Aztecs. Used as 
temple decorations by the lordly Incas; delight of the 
Spanish Conquistadores; beloved by the senoritas of 
old Mexico; these exotic, flashing flowers add vivid 
color to the landscape. 
These beauties are equally at home in the searing 
heat of the desert mesas of Mexico; in the steaming 
jungles of Central America; or in our North American 
gardens. 
Perhaps the greatest reason of all, for growing these 
unbelievable flowers in your garden is the exciting 
element of surprise that is contained in each and 
every bulb. The blossoms have amazing colors, curious 
markings and the most exotic flower form, from which 
they have derived the name of "Shell Flower.'' The 
flowers appear and disappear suddenly, unexpectedly, 
mysteriously like the multi-colored 
shooting stars of a Roman candle. 


Exceptionally large, firm bulbs care- 
fully packed in moss to insure safe 
arrival. Rarely do we have the op- 
portunity to offer such a garden 

novelty at these low prices and we 
urge you to order early.

How. 1a Grow Them 
Of easy culture. Handle like Gladiolus. Plant in 
good well drained soil about 5 inches deep in 
full sunshine. Water thoroughly about once a 
week throughout the flowering season. Pluck 
the faded individual flowers leaving the flower 
head to shoot forth its succession bloom one 
flower at a time. This will lengthen the bloom- 
ing season. Bulbs should be taken up each year 
and stored for the Winter. Full cultural direc- 
tions included with each order.
