Delivery February to April 

MEXICAN SHELL FLOWER—TIGRIDIA 
TIGRIDIAS have often been referred to as the fire-works 
of the garden, for the sudden opening of the flower bud 
into its glorious burst of color is as spectacular as a 
‘Roman Candle” on a Fourth of July night. The flowers are 
large and come in a wide range of color, the throat is 
beautifully spotted and mottled in red and gold. 
The flower lasts but a day BUT a clump of these bulbs 
well planted in a sunny location will yield bloom all Sum- 
mer. From a planting of but a dozen bulbs as many as 15 
flowers may be open each day. 
The following are chosen for their brilliance, size and 
distinct colors: 
Separate Colors 
We offer you choice of red, yellow, wine-red, rose and 
American beauty. Large bulbs l-inch and up that will 
yield many flowers. $1.50 per dozen; 100 bulbs, $10.00.
