GLADIOLUS WINTER GLOW 
The second of an entirely new strain of winter 
flowering Gladiolus originated in this Nursery. 
Stands several degrees more frost and the flower 
stems are daintier and more graceful than the 
large flowered hybrids. Corms planted in Septem- 
ber in Santa Barbara bloom early in December 
about two weeks ahead of our Winter Fairy. Suc- 
cessive plantings will furnish flowers throughout 
February. Must be grown COOL under glass. 
Winter Glow has open flowers about 4 inches 
across. The three upper petals are a deep salmon 
pink with a darker stripe in the center. The three 
lower petals are lemon yellow, the center one tip- 
ped with salmon pink. The throat has deep salmon 
pink lines. Strong stem three to four feet long 
bearing 3 to 5 flowers open at once. A little bolder 
in color than Winter Fairy. 
$75.00 per 1000 
HABRANTHUS ROBUSTUS 
(Zephyranthes robusta) 
Large bright pink flowers appearing in late sum- 
mer on 6 to 10 inch stems. Foliage during winter 
and spring. ‘The flowers are large enough and 
stems long enough to be very useful for cutting. 
Its adaptability to culture in pots, rock gardens 
and borders makes it a very useful member of a 
well known group. 
$40.00 per 1000 
HAEMANTHUS COCCINEUS 
“Blood flower.” One of a large group of tropical 
and sub-tropical bulbs of the Amaryllis family all 
of which are interesting and curious and some very 
showy. ‘This variety has two bright green opposite 
leaves 3 to 5 inches wide and one to two feet long 
lying flat on the ground, growing in the winter. 
The single bright red flower appears in the fall be- 
fore the leaves. It is a large cluster or umbel 2 to 
4 inches across composed of many small flowers 
closely placed. Stem 6 to 9 inches high, green 
heavily spotted with red. General appearance 
striking and curious. 
90c each. Supply limited.

Recent introductions from South Africa with much 
better form and habit of growth are a fine addition 
to this group, of which some of the less desirable 
varieties have been available for many years. 
These new kinds have the same cultural require- 
ments as the older forms but are so superior that 
they will hardly be recognized as ixias and are sure 
to earn recognition when known.
