Baby Gladiolus 
Culture much like large Glads. Being smaller they can be planted closer and not 
so deep. They need an acid soil and therefore much leaf mould or a small amount of 
peat in the soil helps much. They are winter growers and cannot be grown in the 
north except in greenhouses or in the window garden in pots, where they do well. 
Give full sun and a cool room. 
Baby Glads are very scarce and wholesale prices are so high we list only our 
favorite variety. We can offer it reasonably. 
California Peach Blossom. A lovely peach blossom pink. Excellent grower and 
very large in size. We offer only top size, jumbo bulbs, 10c ea., $1.00 per doz. 
Watsonia 
Close relative of the Gladiolus but winter growing and earlier in bloom. They 
grow as tall or taller. The flowers are smaller but in very lovely spikes useful for 
cutting. The colors are varied in most pleasing tones and bloom early if planted early. 
Better even the second and third years. Easy to have them for Decoration Day or before 
in Southern California. In most cases we have discarded names and substituted the 
name of their color. 
Culture. About the same as Glads. In the south they must be planted in early 
fall (Sept. best) as the bulbs sprout early. Hardy at Washington, D. C., and probably 
in all climates where temperatures do not go below zero, if planted in a well protected 
place, 5” or 6” deep and well mulched.

Freesias 
Freesias are exquisite in beauty but their delicious fragrance is an appeal even 
stronger. Where they can be grown in the garden they are indispensable. They are 
easy forcers in pots and equally valuable for the window garden. 
Culture. They are hardy only in the warmer sections of the south where tempera- 
tures do not go below about 26°. Plant outdoors early before Nov. if possible. They 
usually do well if planted in Nov. but the flower stems will be shorter, the flowers
